Saturday: Lexington
Mayhem in the Street.
UK fans ignite furniture in the streets of Lexington in celebration of their Final Four victory over Louisville.
Pandemonium! Following the win against in-state rival UL, the streets ran blue. Amid the; screaming, slinging,stumbling, swearing, there we were desperately trying to make photos that were readable and ones that showed the magnitude of what was unfolding.
After we left a car was turned over and set ablaze! We thought we'd seen the worst of it. Cal was right, these fans are crazy.

Lexington prepares for the 2012 Final Four Game against Louisville on Saturday. A felled tree from a spring storm was partially removed to the chagrin of the tenants.
Less than a week ago the burning desire of Wildcat fans was more than evident on streets surrounding the largest land grant university in the state. Scores of revelers made a zombie-like frenzy around flaming furniture, in a rite of passage that has boggled local columnists all week.
Today we obtained a spot on the roof of a local business to watch the mayhem unfold in a famous intersection, given the Cats pull off the win against arch rival Cardinals. I toured the streets today looking for school spirit and am anxious to watch them live up to the hype in front of millions tomorrow.
Major Robinson of Harrodsburg secures a decorated sheet on his State Street abode. The message professed that, the head of the - Ugandan guerilla group - Lord's Resistence Army, Joseph Kony is a Cardinal fan.

Students living on the streets surrounding UK's campus love to do two things. Drink and burn - this activity was evident Sunday after UK defeated Baylor, 82-70 to earn a spot in this years' Final Four.
Students swarmed the streets chanting C-A-T-S and anxiously waiting for the first piece of furniture to be offered up as sacrifice to the basketball gods.
