 I Pride In Blue
It really is a great time to be a Wildcat!
_ . It’s with great pride that we bring you the summer 2012 issue of Kentucky Alumni magazine.
l _ At the risk of being redundant, I just have to say again, that it’s really great to be a Wild-
• cat. Yes, that’s always true, but the last couple of months have taken it to another level.
Our cover story this issue is, of course, the Wildcats bringing the NCAA Championship
hardware home to Lexington. I don’t know about you, but I’m still celebrating. I-Iey — it’s
been I4 years, we’re entitled to celebrate as long as we want! It still feels surreal. Looking
back even now I’m amazed at how talented and dedicated this team really was. And,
“TEAM” is the best word to describe the 2011-12 edition of the Wildcats. They played
with an unselhshness that was a joy to watch. They truly cared about each other and were
willing to make sacrihces for the betterment of the team.
While Coach john Calipari gets credit for being a great recruiter (I·Ie obviously is.), I don’t think he gets enough credit for his
ability as a coach. Yes, it takes talent to win, but it also takes a great coach. Prom Louisville, to Atlanta, and Hnally New Orleans,
it was a wonderfully exhausting span of time that only gets better in retrospect.
Banner No. 8 is hanging from the rafters — and all seems right with the world. _. V I Q ;     .'—·. - - ···¥?¤’*» »_ g · ”

fulhll their dreams and, oh, so proud of them. During the news conference an-   i A     l  
nouncing the draft intentions, Coach Cal said, ‘Anyone that tells you that in one _ ___rr , , _.; A " &    
or two years you cannot create a relationship and you are not going to have a   I   I  
bond, they are crazy These players are connected to our fans just like past players. "  ~ - · "'
They are connected to this university and they will come back.” Well said, Coach,
well said. We are also extremely proud of seniors Darius Miller and Eloy Vargas for earning their degrees in May.
Another big happening in the month of April was the oPf1cial unveiling of our newest Wildcat — the beautiful bronze sculp-
ture that is the centerpiece of the newly dedicated Wildcat Alumni Plaza. We share some images of the plaza and sculpture
with you in this issue. I have to admit, it was an amazing feeling when I found my paver in its permanent place in the plaza.
You betcha I was proud — Wildcat proud. This is something we can all be very proud of and if you haven’t seen it yet, I en-
courage you to stop by the Hrst chance you get. I know the Wildcat sculpture and plaza will be a favorite tradition of students
and alumni for generations to come.
We hope you enjoy this issue of Kentucky Alumni magazine. As always, I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.
With Pride in Blue,
  see blue.
