Billy Gillispie signs autographs after throwing out the first pitch at a
Lexington Legends minor league baseball game at Applebee’s Park.
“People often ask me to try to
explain why Kentuckians are so
nutty about UK basketball. My guess
is that it’s because the commonwealth is so
diverse, from the mountains of the east,
where my family hails; to the central bluegrass,
where we have a proud tradition of
raising the world's best thoroughbreds; to
the farmlands of the west. Basketball is
one thing that unites us, something
for which we all can be proud. An airline pilot
once told my Nana that when he flies over
the state, he can tell when UK is playing
because the roads are empty.”
