Last night was senior night at Rupp Arena. I was there and have been to several senior days in my life but this one stands out. The University of Kentucky only had one senior this year, Josh "Jorts" Harrellson. His nickname is Jorts because he wears Jorts sometimes. Jorts are jean shorts. Ive never seen so many painted chests, t-shirts, banners and signs dedicated to one player before.Including the giant head seen above. Especially for a player who has really only been a factor on the court for one year. I love it because this shows the real relationship between the Big Blue Nation (BBN) and the team. All the fans, from the student body to a 60 year old, showered Josh with love. Josh was a Junior college transfer that sat the bench for 2 years before being forced into action his Senior year. The BBN recognises the work Josh has put in to evolve into the hard working, garbage man type player he is today. I'm going to stop before I get to mushy. Jorts day was a complete success. (oh yea UK won too).
