    A DREAM COME TRUE #NFLDraft Shocking it took until Day 3 but Darian Kinnard comes off the board in the 5th round to the Kansas City Chiefs. “You’ll be blocking for Patrick Mahomes!” his mom said 😂 what a moment @FOX56News #BBN

    Mark Pope hugged every one of his players at the end of the handshake line. He loves this team, and this team loves him. What a thrilling win for Kentucky over Florida, 106-100. #BBN @FOX56News

    “I can’t wait to play other teams, I’ll put it that way.” 👀 #NFLDraft Darian Kinnard was projected as a Day 2 pick, fell all the way to the 5th round with KC. Chip on the shoulder for sure. Said he’s ready to play guard or tackle, whatever the Chiefs need. @FOX56News #BBN

    Billy Donovan with a ton of VERY interesting comments this evening when asked by the Chicago media about his name being thrown in for the Kentucky head coaching job. 👀 #BBN The Bulls head coach said he has not been contacted by anybody at UK and is focused on the Bulls. Didn't

    How many introductory press conferences fill an arena 360 degrees around the stage? Kentucky basketball and Rupp Arena are both one of a kind. #BBN The 1996 national championship banner spotlighted as the fans cheer as loud as they do for a ballgame. @FOX56News
