While we are in the midst of the NFL and college football seasons, not to mention a week away from the MLB Playoffs, it should be noted college basketball is a lot closer than you realize. What better way to demonstrate this than with Kentucky fans? UK fans are ready for their version of Midnight Madness to start, like yesterday. Case in point: there’s already a camp-out line in Lexington for Big Blue Madness tickets, which are free and will be available online as well as in person. So yeah, even though you can acquire them electronically, people are willing to spend the night outside just to get their chance to see the beginning of the John Calipari era.

By last count, about 200-300 fans are camping, waiting for 6am/October 3rd deadline.
