Best Kentucky Football wins: 2014-2019
Greetings, BBN! Let's take a trip down memory lane. It's not much longer till kickoff, and now's a great opportunity to enjoy the highlights, game-winning plays, and trophies that UK has cashed in on fall after fall. One of my favorite things about UK's football seasons this past decade has been that, regardless of the final record or bowl or other results of the season, there's always been one game…on one Saturday…against one team…that I remember. One game I can't forget because that September afternoon or that November night, the Cats scored something really awesome that's gotta go in the record books and hype videos for years to come. Every year has had a 'best game'. Let's have some fun and scroll through them: Best UK Football Wins: 2014-2019 2014: South Carolina What made it the best: Bud Dupree's pick-six Still my favorite pick-six. An absolutely classic moment at the end of a thrilling comeback. Tied at 17 at halftime, then trailing 31-24 at the end of the 3rd, then turning a 14-point deficit into a tie game with less than three minutes to go, UK was giving Kroger Field its best game in years under the bright lights of an October night game. Then Bud Dupree broke it all wide open with a pick-six, he only needed to run back six yards to score the Cats an UPSET!! = 2015: South Carolina What made it the best: First major road win under Stoops How do you top that 45-38 win over South Carolina the next season? Do it again on the road! This one wasn't as dramatic, and the story this time was not blowing a 24-7 halftime lead, but it certainly was impressive and celebration-worthy as the Cats landed their first road win under Stoops in the Sandstorm-blaring Williams-Brice Stadium. 2016: #11 Louisville What made it the best: Besting Lamar Jackson as three-touchdown underdogs In 2023 the Cats beat a top ten Louisville team on the road, but unless Louisville is undefeated or ranked #1 or something I don't think there'll be any topping this game given how great Lamar Jackson has been at the pro level ever since his college career at U of L. Stephen Johnson, Austin MacGinnis, and BBN beat the Heisman winner 40-38 in Cardinal Stadium. Nothing quite like it before or since. 2017: Tennessee What made it the best: Extremely rare series win (and in thrilling fashion) Victory over Tennessee! Only twice since the '80s has UK beaten the Vols in Lexington, and this one, with the Stephen Johnson TD hurdle in the final minute, was one of them. Wins over Tennessee make a season, and they've gotta be savored because you never know how long you'll be waiting for the next one. 2018: #25 Florida and #12 Penn State and Missouri What made (it and it and it) the best: Snapping The Streak and winning a major bowl against a very elite team. And winning a game with literally 0:00 on the clock! Ok, I cheated here a bit. This one had so many greats I couldn't pick just one. First in Week 2 they snapped the notorious Streak at 31 in Gainesville against a really good Florida team, then to end the season they scored their biggest bowl victory since the '70s with an epic Citrus Bowl triumph over #12 Penn State to finish with a 10-win season. And I will never forget the untimed down with 0:00 on the clock at Mizzou's 2-yard line. One play to win or lose…and they won! Terry Wilson to CJ Conrad. 2019: Virginia Tech What made it the best: Beating a formidable team in the final seconds Winning a game with a TD pass with 14 seconds left isn't the most unheard of thing in the world. But when your QB is a wide receiver? The 2019 Belk Bowl was an impressive piece of work by the Cats and a thrilling final drive to get back-to-back bowl wins.

BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (BBN) Announces Distribution Dates and an Increase to the Monthly Distribution Rate
NEW YORK, July 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (the "Fund") announced today an increase to its monthly distribution rate, driven by higher Fund earnings. The new annualized distribution rate is approximately 7% on BBN's NAV. Shareholders will receive the higher distribution rate starting with the August 2025 distribution. Details are highlighted in the table below: Fund Name Ticker August 29, 2025 Distribution Change From Prior Distribution Percent Increase BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust* BBN $0.09860 +$0.00570 +6.14% Key dates:Declaration- 7/11/2025 Ex-Date- 8/15/2025 Record- 8/15/2025 Payable- 8/29/2025 *In order to comply with the requirements of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Fund noted above posted to the DTC bulletin board and sent to its shareholders of record as of the applicable record date a Section 19 notice with the previous distribution payment. The Section 19 notice was provided for informational purposes only and not for tax reporting purposes. This information can be found in the "Closed-End Funds" section of As applicable, the final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions in 2025 will be made after the end of the year. The Fund's ability to maintain its declared distribution amount will depend on a number of factors, such as the amount and stability of investment income earned by the Fund, its asset mix, portfolio turnover, performance of its investments, level of retained earnings, the amount of leverage utilized by the Fund and the effects thereof, the costs of such leverage, the movement of interest rates for municipal bonds and general market conditions. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Fund's investment performance from the amount of the Fund's current distribution or from the terms of the Fund's dividend policy. A portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder's investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.' When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Fund's net asset value.

Braydon Hawthorne has been a lifelong Kentucky fan: 'When childhood dreams become REALITY'
Mark Pope and his staff pulled off a really impressive recruiting win on Tuesday night as they landed the commitment of 4-star wing Braydon Hawthorne. A top-40 player in the class of 2025 by several recruiting sites, Hawthorne chose the Kentucky Wildcats over Duke, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Advertisement What makes it so impressive is that Kentucky was able to land a major prospect while already having crazy roster depth. This shows just how much Hawthorne wanted to be a Cat, and a quote put out by Paul Biancardi of ESPN helps shed some light on how Coach Pope and the UK brand helped land the talented wing. 'I have a great relationship with Coach Pope and the staff. We have had many conversations about basketball and life. I have been a lifelong Kentucky fan. This means everything to me,' said Hawthorne. In addition, Hawthorne shared an Instagram story post with a photo he took next to the Joe B. Hall statue as a child. 'When childhood dreams become REALITY,' he wrote. You gotta love to hear that, BBN. A great addition and a solid player for hopefully years to come. Advertisement More from
