Amid the red sea where blue usually reigns supreme, a Kentucky fan unfurled a sign over the upper deck in Rupp Arena to calm the panic in Big Blue Nation. While Louisville fans celebrated in Kentucky's house during the beginning of their national title run – the Wildcats did the same thing in U of L's arena the year before – six words, painted in blue, reminded UK fans that everything would return to normal in due time.
“Keep calm,” the sign read, “the twins are coming.”
More than five months since that sign hung, the worry is over. After a summer full of questions – there were message board rumors as to whether the Harrisons would be eligible since they weren't on campus yet – Andrew and Aaron Harrison arrived last week to calm those fears and signal the start of a potentially promising 2013-14 season.
The twins – eligible and eager to begin their UK careers – are here.
