I find myself craving some Hoops discussion

I am enjoying all the football discussion, but as the Big Blue Blogosphere has transformed itself into a legit football crazed community, I find myself going through a bit of a let down following Big Blue Madness. While I was happy to get to watch the event on Fox Sports South, I have to say the excitement didn't quite come across like it would have being there live. My wife, a Michigan State alum, told me several times she didn't get it and that it looked pretty lame. I attended midnight madness at Memorial Coliseum from the time I was a freshman in high school and almost every year that I was attending UK. I have not attended one since it moved to Rupp, but I imagine it is still something that people just won't understand unless they experience it live. My favorite one I have to say was 1996 which included one of the most amazing scrimmages I have ever seen with Anderson, Walker, McCarty, Delk, Mercer, Epps, Pope, Shephard, Turner, Prickett, Edwards. That was a seriously competitive lineup. I remember Dereck Anderson bringing the house down with a fast break pass off the back board to Walker(I think) for a thunderous roof-shaking jam. Memorial Coliseum rocked! Share your own midnight madness thoughts if you are so inclined.

I'm with you ...
I'll hopefully have a post up later today if my stupid work will give me some breathing space ...

I am proud of the football Cats, but enough ... it's hoops season!
