Here at the University of Kentucky, basketball is everything. Check that. In Kentucky, basketball is everything. Kids wear jerseys and shout their favorite players' names, dads fill basements with endless amounts of memorabilia and moms, well, moms put up with it all. This year, when it was announced there were to be open tryouts for a walk-on position with University of Kentucky men's basketball team, I felt it was my duty to give it a shot. A chance like this is rare.
