As a lifelong Bama guy, I completely understand this UK fans. Bama football and UK basketball are the cornerstones of this conference and are the measuring stick in both sports. When I listened to this, it brought me back to when I was a kid and I felt the same way, still do, as the lyrics of this song described with bama football. Cheers cat fans.
As a Kentucky fan living in Alabama can’t deny the unmatched football tradition that is Alabama not to mention the standard that Sagan’s returned the program too. I can’t lie though one of my best memories growing up was October 4th 1997 when Kentucky football got the best of the tide may never happen again in my life lol.
I will never forget Cawood. John Ward said he was the greatest ever!! I remember being in my dad's truck riding to get the game in. We went to his home in Winchester, KY to see his mom, my grandmother as she made delicious Butter Cake. Oh those days!!! I love all Kentucky sports my father just liked basketball and football. The Mardi Gras MIracle, Givens 41 in St. Louie what a night. 1996 with Pitino and Smith in 1998. My dad will be gone eight years in October, I miss him. I live in Tennessee and always will and will be a Kentucky and Middle Tennessee fan forever as MT is my alma mater. GO CATS!!!
I'm only 13 and I'm a true blue fan!I know haven't been around that long to see the history of UK,and I know for one thing that we aren't just fans,we are one big family,GO CATS!
I've listened to this 10 times at least.. Gives me chills every time.. I was born and raised a wildcat.. Sitting on my grandpa's lap when I was just a boy, watching the cats play.. Now I have my own kids.. And I'm raising them the same way.. They love watching UK games.. They're still just toddlers.. But I can't wait til they're big enough to take em to RUPP for a live game!!
“I Bleed Blue..Through and Through. I was born and raised a Wildcat. It’s all I ever new. I Bleed Blue.” If you were raised in KY it will bring a tear to your eye and put you back home as a kid! Go Cats!
Been a Cats fan my whole life. When I was a little girl I'd sit with my granddaddy and watch UK basketball on TV with the volume turned down and listen to my cousin Cawood Ledford's radio broadcast of the games. Thanks for sharing this!
late October 2016 It's that time again! Go Big Blue! Looking for the title this year! I bleed Blue! Love this song and video. I listen to it all the time. Especially during season play. Can not listen without tears.
People can hate and spit venom all they want but to be a TRUE Kentucky fan is something that is hard to describe and even harder to ascend to. I wasn't born in kentucky, cause my dad who is from kentucky was in the military so I was born in hawaii but I have been here since the age of 3 so its all I know and Kentucky basketball is all I know. The lyrics of this song describes my love affair with the commonwealths team and it's how I know I bleed blue. My dying day I will still be a kentucky fan.
this is my new favorite song. I am a 20 year old sophomore at UK and have been a UK fan for all 20 of those years. This song reminds me of all the times me, my dad, and my grandpa gathered around the TV or radio for a cats game. I shed a couple of tears every time I hear it!
I have been all over this great country yes I am born and bred here in Kentucky I do bleed blue. One thing that I have found out is that there are pockets of BIG BLUE fans in every state. And 1 time going through Little Rock AR I listen to a UK basketball game on a local radio station and it was PROUD to be apart of the UK radio network.
I can barely watch this video without teering up, I traveled all the way from Kentucky to Texas to watch the final four this year and it was a disappointment that we lost but were ganna win it this year! I bleed blue! Cats!
Peggy, That was awesome I had chills, tears, and memories. I miss all of you guys.Maybe someday I will be able to come see you all.LOVE TO YOU ALL, DEB
Love this everytime I watch it a little more. It's so good to have been born and raised in Kentucky, the BEST in Basketball. I know there's lots of out of staters who are KY fans, but people just can't explain how great it is to have been born into this.....................
Absolute perfection! Eloquently describes all those who are truly UK fans. I could not stop crying, brought back memories and hopes for the future. Play your game this year Cats - believe in yourselves - play as a team - represent the BBN that loves you all so well. You have our hearts!
My vision! My vision is 1 title in 15 years! 5 straight years of not getting out of the first round, or not making the NCAA tournament! My vision is moving to Arkansas when things go sour! Good luck and goodbye
Great video! I started attending UK games free as a Boy Scout usher at the old Coliseum in 1954 when Adolph Rupp was the dominator. There have been many great players and seasons! Kentucky Wildcats are NEVER to be underestimated! I live in HOUSTON - waiting on Monday night's results and another Championship! GO CATS!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!! I live in Wisconsin but my family is in Kentucky. I remember so much of this old footage!! I still cherish autographs from Jack Givens and Rick Robey after the '78 NCAA championship!! Good Luck to Kentucky and Wisconsin in the Final Four game on Saturday!!! God Bless!!
I love UK basketball. I remember watching Joe B Hall coach when I was a child. I always dreamed I'd have a son play for UK. Although he doesn't play basketball he is a student at University of Kentucky and I'm just as proud the tradition continues. We bleed blue!!!!
Cold chills every time I hear this song. Watched the goose play HS b ball with Bryan station. Born in Lexington and raised in cynthiana (joe b's home). Yes, I bleed blue thru and thru.....
I born born and raised in Arkansas. Grew up a Hog fan, BUT when UK defeated Arkansas in the 1995 SEC Tournament Championship Game, I KNEW that was my team.................I've never been to Kentucky, never attended a UK game at all, in any sport.. . . . . BUT I BLEED BLUE! ROUGHLY 29 years later, I STILL BLEED BLUE.
Thanks so much for writing this song and for the wonderful video! I can't stop watching it !!!!! It really captures how the BBN feels about of Wildcats!!!
This song brings me back to all those late nights in the man cave w my dad screaming at the tv since it was in double overtime but now I’m older and I’m doing the same things w my kids
I love this video. It's the best tribute video out. and FYI yes I teared up. I have been a UK fan for as long as i can remember watching my first game. I now live in the heart of KANSAS jayhawk territory. and im called the outcast, and every other name a person can be called. But if you walked out on my front pourch you would be greeted by a 8 foot by 5 foot UK flag that set ontop of a 20 foot flag pole. Becouse it's more than basketball were im from in Kentucky it's a way of life.
This is beautiful. I go to IU, but I grew up in Northwest Kentucky and I still feel attached to my roots, despite my new identity as a Hoosier. Although I think the word, "Kentoosier" fits me a lot better. :)
4:02 took care of the puke shit from 1992 for me. and WHAT A VIDEO AND SONG!!! BEST I HAVE EVERRRRRRR HEARD FOR THE CATS!! Thank you so much. got to fav it
to be a wildcat fan is something that only we can understand...My dad is in his grave over a hundred now, he was a personal friend of Rupp! When our cats go on with their life we buy "Wizzards" shirts and stuff like that! We love them for life! They our cats and we bleed blue!
thanks to this video i knew that jack goose givens dropped 41 in the final four and i got the question right at college gameday and won an autographed picture
Kentucky Wildcats - Most successful college basketball program in the HISTORY of college basketball. Most wins, Most fans, Most money, and hottest girls. You all know it, so love it.
Came back to listen to this again today now we need a new video with Pope in the beginning

I Bleed Blue, thank you for this song!!! No one outside of the BBN will ever understand what basketball means to us!
Yes!! was born a Kentucky Wildcat in My Ole Ky Home.....:) and will always BLEED BLUE!!
This song is beyond awesome.
“I Bleed Blue..Through and Through. I was born and raised a Wildcat. It’s all I ever new. I Bleed Blue.” If you were raised in KY it will bring a tear to your eye and put you back home as a kid! Go Cats!
