“Mr. Wildcat”, Bill Keightley has passed away at age 81, according to a friend. Terrible news for Kentucky fans, and certainly a story we will continue to follow for you.
He fell off of a bus at the Reds game today.

Man What a drag
One of the finest guys I have ever known !
This is a sad day for the entire basketball world. Mr. Wildcat, will certainly be missed. UK games will never be the same without seeing him sitting on the bench rooting on our Cats. I am sure he is up in Heaven making sure things are in order and catching up with old “Big Blue” friends.
This old Kentucky home says “goodnight” one last time…
I got your message. How sad. Unbelieveable. Who falls off a bus? At a Reds game? At least he went doing what he loves, supporting his favorite teams. I concede…he was Kentucky’s number one fan. May he rest in peace.
