This morning, for whatever reason, I thought it’d be a good idea to get up at 4:30 am and head out to Memorial Coliseum. So I did. I hopped up, threw on my best rain jacket and joined the crazies along Avenue of Champions.
The scene was nuts, per usual. I believe this year was the best turnout for the early morning rush, and outside of a few minor scuffles over tent space, it was done in an orderly fashion. The mayhem will never be perfect, but the folks at UK have done a good job of controlling the crowd as best as they can.
