BIG BLUE NATION HAS ARRIVED AT APPALACHIA INSIDER! Five days ago, we asked our readers whether Appalachia Insider should expand its sports coverage to include University of Kentucky athletics. The response was overwhelming, with a strong majority voting YES! And we listened. 🔵 We’ve officially added UK Athletics to our sports coverage, and our first Wildcats basketball recap is already published! Our coverage kicked off with Kentucky’s 89–80 victory over James Madison, featuring game statistics, standout performances, and our new APPALACHIA INSIDER PLAYS OF THE GAME. This expansion doesn’t mean we’re stepping away from the high school athletics and local communities that matter to Eastern Kentucky. It means we’re growing to bring our readers even more of the sports they love. Thank you to everyone who voted and shared their thoughts. Your feedback helped shape this decision. You spoke. We listened. And we’re just getting started! 💙🏀 #AppalachiaInsider #BBN #UKBasketball #GoBigBlue #KentuckyWildcats #EasternKentucky
