From Darrell Bird of The CatsPause.com: “The arrival of Autumn is announced by the Harvest Moon, a time of season when the moon hangs on the horizon, appearing close enough to touch, and with a deep, yellowish tint.
Across the Commonwealth, fans would argue the orb carries an orange tint, basketball orange no less; the glorious phenomenon designed by the Creator solely to usher in a new season.
And given the prospects for this 2013-14 Kentucky basketball team, the “harvest” label might be most fitting, possibly harvesting a ninth national championship.
Verily, I say.
No games have been played, practice has not even officially begun, so it might seem preposterous to talk of cutting nets when we've not even cut the ribbon for the season's grand opening. But there are signs just the same, hints in the early conversations with coach John Calipari.”
