Tonight, Kentucky takes on Vanderbilt in Nashville. How appropriate is it that the game takes place on the eight-year anniversary of #OccupyMemorial, the day 500 brave members of the Big Blue Nation crashed College Gameday and the No. 1 Wildcats beat Vanderbilt 69-63 en route to the program’s eighth national title?
#OccupyMemorial is an event most remembered for Digger Phelps’ lecture, which I filmed from the third level of Memorial Gym. That video quickly went viral, appearing on Deadspin and ensuring that the phrase “Listen to Me!” will forever be in the Kentucky Basketball lexicon.
