As you may have heard, seen, or even suffered through, this is shaping up to be a pretty poor season of UK Basketball. So, to help ease the pain of watching the games, a crew of UK fans from throughout the Midwest (and L.A.) have devised the 2005-2006 UK Basketball Drinking Game. Hopefully this will make the games slightly more entertaining and definitely more enjoyable!
Disclaimers: (1) I guess we should say that alcohol doesn't have to be used to enjoy these rules. We don't promote rowdy uncontrollable drunkenness or the abuse of alcohol. No really. (2) We are all die hard Kentucky fans and only kid b/c we love. No harm intended. (3) GO CATS!!!!!
The Rules:
Drink every time they show Ashley (drink two more if they show her shaking her head in disgust or some other indication that she agrees the 'Cats are *******)
Drink once every time they show Donna.
Drink twice every time they show Donna clapping in some way that maximizes the showing of her "bling" or fake nails.
Drink 2 every time they show Tubby give his stare
Chug your drink when Tubby's coat comes off.
Drink every time an announcer comments on how we "just don't have Kentucky talent" or "the last time this happened to the Cats was...." .
Drink twice when an announcer mentions that UK fans aren't used to losing.
Chug it if they discuss the possibility of us not making the NCAA tournament.
Drink every time the announcers mispronounce Woo-kosh Orb-zhoot.
Drink a grapefruit sized beverage every time there is mention of the grape fruit sized tumor that was taken from Sheray Thomas (Does anyone else think he played better with it?)
Drink when we actually use the full court press.
Drink every time Perry misses a lay-up, put back or dunk (this is good for at least 5 a game).
Drink every time the Cats have a 1 and 1 opportunity to cut into an opponents lead, miss the front end and the other team goes down and scores killing the Cats "momentum"
Drink every time Patrick misses a 3. Drink 3 more shot if the announcers mention any of the clutch 3s Patrick shot last season (Louisville, Michigan State).
Drink every time Rondo tries to do a finger roll under the basket and misses when he could have just made a layup.
Drink every time Orzbut completes a fantastically European foul like closelining someone across the face with both hands. Drink twice every time he gets away with it.
Drink two every time the team is obviously fighting with one another.
Drink three every time we throw an idiotic lob pass up the floor that results in a turnover (either stolen or out of bounds).
If Morris gets two early fouls (within the first 5 minutes), power hour until the end of the first half.
Drink three and say hallelujah if we score while in our half court offensive set.
If Shagari Alleyne scores, scream "Go to Class!" then drink three.
Social chug your drink if we shoot over 30% in either half.
Order and drink a shot to the ghost of Wayne Turner (or insert favorite UK player that actually cared that he was a Cat) during halftime
At the end of the game, if the leading scorer was a walk-on or a freshman, chug your drink, order another, and chug it.
Goes-without-saying Rules:
Forget the beer and stick to bourbon if Billy Packer or Dick Vitale are announcing the game
Scream "Duke sucks!" and flip off the screen whenever the Duke team is mention for no real reason.

Tas, Well, I think I'd better turn the volume down and hope that Ashley and Donna aren't there tonight or I'm in big trouble playing that game! A lot of those are nothing to worry about - Alleyne scoring!!!!
Just a sad year for the true blue!

tasmit...If you play by the rules of this game and even if you drink water instead of alcohol you will spend the entire second half in the bathroom!
It will be interesting to see what happens to the cats down the stretch? The meat of the schedule is coming up and if they don't turn it up there will be no NCAA for UK this year.
Beezer - I can tell you that things have been so ugly on the court most of the time, that many of us find Ashley Judd about the most pleasant thing to look at!
Going to go cheer for my boys again though!! Won't be playing the "game" however!

Well the Wildcats came through with a must win tonight? Now comes the meat of the schedule. Will the streak keep going or will it end at Florida on Saturday night? ESPN @ 9:00pm!
No, not nervous Buckeyecat. I have no illusions about this year's team - only hopes that they'll at least play as well as they are capable and show some heart. It's always about the effort for me, not the outcome. If we beat Florida or TN - in all honesty I'd be amazed! Just hoping for some good games!

I've seen her in person...not bad. I think her enthusiasm though makes her cuter.

Maybe with the recent winning streak she will get her color back? I will never forget how bad she looked during the Kansas game! UK might be going to Florida at the right time? Florida has some injuries are not playing at their best right now. Must win #2 out of 6 or 7 more must wins?
Buckeyecat - I really have my doubts about us making it into the tourney. However, the name of KY will have a certain amount of "pull" on it's own - I have no doubt about that.
I heard last night - don't remember if it was ESPN or on talk radio before the game, but one of the projecting services has us as a seventh seed! I don't know about that!
You're right - Ashley was very pale at the Kansas game as well as a couple of others! But, so were alot of us KY folks!
Oh, just noticed your avatar!!!! Very nice!
Beez - I bet if I could get paid the bucks she gets paid, I could loose my accent too!!!

I don't know about that!
Thanks to CD for helping me figure out how to do it!
