Kentucky Wildcats Quickies: Mother’s Day Edition

Happy Sunday, Big Blue Nation!

My apologies for the later than normal Quickies but it’s Mother’s Day and I’ve been showering my wife with presents and fixing her breakfast.

To all the Mother’s reading this, thank you. Thank you for being there for your children and making us strive to be the best.
