The Bahamas trip was just a tease and BBM will tease a little bit more but when we cut the nets down in the NCAA tournament is when the excitement will reach fever pitch.
As one of the primary charms of Big Blue Madness, Kentucky introduces its freshman players to fans. But the August trip to the Bahamas served as an extended how-do-you-do this year.
So is the 2014 Madness diminished?
Some fans who camped out for tickets last week acknowledged that the love-at-first-sight element might be missing at Big Blue Madness on Oct. 17. But the infatuation hasn't cooled.
"It's kind of better," Louisville native Kim Bauder said. "We've already been introduced."
The first date is out of the way. Now, the partners in an annual marriage made in Big Blue Heaven can get to better know each other.
"We've seen them," fan Jason Stanifer of Berea said. "We want to see more. If there's any year where we have the chance to take off and play well (at the start of a season), it's this year."
Fans cited the anticipation of a dominating season more than made up for the missing thrill of a first-night premier. The customary collection of tents circling Memorial Coliseum (a record number, UK claimed) bolstered that argument.
"Normally, I'd agree," fan John Riley said of the suggestion of Madness diminished, if only slightly. "But this is such a special team."
