"Being with all of this tradition, it's awesome...I didn't sleep last night," says UK student, Kent Shepard.

For fans, it doesn't get too much better than a win against Louisville. For cats fans, it was an experience that will last a lifetime,"We're inside of Rupp Arena for the UK, U of L game, and when he is 60 and I'm long gone...he'll be telling his grand kids that one time his dad took him to see the UK, U of L game," says UK fan, Shawn Dawley.

It was a full house inside of Rupp Arena. Medal of honor recipient, Dakota Meyer was the "Y" during the spelling out of Kentucky at the big game. Grammy award winner, Jay Z was also in attendance.
