How would I characterize the Kentucky basketball fans I've met? Hmm. How to be diplomatic here. They're ... intense. Especially when it comes to showing you their fandom. I don't know if I've ever met a group of fans so willing to bathe themselves -- and all of their possessions -- in the deep blue hues of their favorite team. But hey, that's what makes them great, right? Um, right?

I'm betting that if you know a Kentucky basketball fan, he or she has just about every piece of memorabilia you can think of. I'm also betting you did not, in a million years, think of this:

You read right. That is a stuffed wildcat, wearing a Kentucky shirt, dunking on a basketball hoop. I append no comment.
