Those who don a Kentucky Wildcats jersey don’t just inherit the enormous expectations and microscope of “Big Blue Nation.” They also find themselves joined by level of support and adoration that starts right away and never leaves.
“Best fan base ever, to me,” said Suns rookie and one-year Wildcat Devin Booker. “It’s unbelievable. Kentucky fans follow you wherever you go. Not just when you’re at Kentucky. Even right when I committed there, it started then and ever since, it just expanded.”
Social media has given fans another outlet through which they can talk about – and even to – their favorite athletes.
