Today, we're watching Mark Stoops' reaction to the season ticket sellout.

🔵 The Official Daily Newsletter For Kentucky Athletics

Good morning. Kentucky is a school where every sport has a crowd. So far, two coaches have really lived up to making that happen— Nick Mingione and Mark Stoops and the baseball team has reeled in the top-15 crowds in Kentucky history under Coach Mingione. As for Stoops, scroll down to see what crowd he is bringing in.

What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 A New Era. In his 11th year at Kentucky, this season is already his best one yet. This year marks the most season ticket packages sold in his time at Kentucky. Because of this, he got up close and personal with fans to thank them for their support of the team.

🔼 Giving Back. It’s so nice to see our Kentucky athletes give back to kids in the local area. This time, it was Tre Mitchell who went over to Franklin County High School for a youth basketball camp. He spoke to the campers and got celebrity treatment when all of the kids wanted his autograph. He even let the kids sign his shirt too.

🤔 BIG BLUE TRIVIA

Governors Cup. Even though our game against Louisville is three months away, we had to see what Stoops had to say about new head coach Jeff Brohm. Kentucky has been on a winning streak, but can they pull off another win this year?

Today’s question—how long is Kentucky’s current Governors Cup win streak?
