This vibrant tribute to the 2012 NCAA men's basketball champions provides a visual feast for fans who want to relive the Kentucky Wildcats' road to championship glory. It features an introduction and several articles by Larry Vaught, a Kentucky sports institution and six-time recipient of Kentucky's National Sportswriter of the Year title. This celebratory book takes readers from the season's opening tip in November, through the exciting regular season and SEC Tournament, and on to the final seconds in New Orleans. Also included are features on the team's key figures, including head coach John Calipari.

Miss Kentucky USA 2009 Maria Montgomery, currently modeling for Ford Models of Chicago, is a frequent contributor to vaughtsviews.com as an interviewer. She recently showed her love for UK with a photo shoot, and we’re trying to decide which photo to blend into the front page of vaughtsviews. Help us choose with your comments!
The first round of voting has narrowed the list down to 12 photos – but we can’t decide, so we need your help. The photos are numbered, and you can comment below. Let Larry know which picture – or pictures – you like best either with a comment or email, so we can incorporate Maria into the design of this web site.
Maria has her own website as well – www.modeledbymaria.com – and a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/modeledbymaria.

I really like number 6!
Great choice PJ. We will have the final selections for you to vote on posted Friday
I agree #6 is the photo.
While it may be an unlucky number for some, it certainly isn’t for Maria—put my vote down for #13 here during the final vote round.
#8, w/ #10 being a close runner up, but I don’t think you can go wrong w/ any of them Larry.
i like #4 she has a beautiful smile.
Ol number 18 never looked so good.
Amen to that KatDaddy
#8 Best Smile!
Best of the best Mike
I reckon I’ll go with #6.
# 8,5,then 3 would be my preference
Why the heck would you interview her on a sports site. She’s no different than any other good looking girl. You all act like she’s something special
She is special – She has represented Kentucky very well.
We are very proud of her & glad that she has an interest in sports!
Amen to that LoveSECFootball
#8 is the best.
#8 please
#4…what a smile!
Amen to that Vinnie. Gary soon will have the fan favorite photo included in the header as promised
Any of the ones where she is smiling. She just doesn’t do that mad, pouting look well in UK garb. I’d pick number 11
#8
5, 8, no 8, 5, no 5,8, okay 5 and 8
that’s the best looking play that has taken place on that field this year. she is a honey!!!
Indeed she is Steve. Her Big Blue Madness column will be a keeper too
#10 – because it is the overall best not just of Maria, but also green field, showing SEC, and also shows last part of “CATS” and the contrast of all those with Maria make this photo a winner.
#8 – overall 2nd best of Maria and the background of the stadium
Thanks Theresa. Myself, I love them all but like your reasoning on No. 10
GD! thats a beautiful woman. #8 is appropriate
Looks like #8 is the winner but #9 is my favorite. Like someone said – you can’t go wrong with any of them. She is the most beautiful Ms Ky I’ve ever seen and its not even close.
Mark and Tim, all I can say is a Big Blue Amen
I can see why #8 is the most popular. I also like the fact that you can see Commonwealth Stadium and CM Newton Field in the background. But if you are just incorporating her into your collage at the top of the page, the background won’t be used, will it Larry? I’ll have to respectfully disagree with the gentleman that said the pouting look doesn’t work, Maria looks good in them all. Way to represent our town girl!
Agree 100 percent JC
WOW is all that I can say! I love all of them and can’t just vote for one!!!
How in the heck can we get our hands on these pictures? I would love to use them as my Desktop backgrounds constantly updating with a new picture hourly. 
Thanks for continuing to vote for Maria’s pictures. Gary just can’t decide which one to put up. And Wildcat69, let me work on your request for you
Okay, if I have to pick one #13 is my favorite!!!! She looks stunning in this picture!
Love her smile in picture #4.. That’s my choice.
Wildcat69, great idea ! Make that a priority Larry!
I like #8 the best, followed by #2. But as said above, there isn’t a bad one in the lot.
Amen to that Ben. Maria is one gorgeous young UK fan
# 8 , don’t hesitate, it’s Great….
I vote for #8, then #4, then #10
Number 8, please. . . just perfect!
I love No. 8 as well
# 8
I like number 8 the best. Maria has a great smile!
it is a million dollar smile. why her modeling is going so well
10
13
Either 12 or 13 — gotta have that ‘tude when you are posing with a football!
Love #12. That girl looks serious about her football.
wait until you see the picture coming Sunday of Maria
I like 8.
I’ll cast a vote for number 8.
TEN TIMES hotter than M. Dills
Unfortunately you need a better photographer who knows about fill lighting. If you eliminate the images with “raccoon eyes” there are only 3 images left to choose from and this beauty deserves better than that!
Number 10
#5
#4 or #13
#15, most definitely. All are good, though, but #15 stands out.
7 is good, 11 is great but 12 might be the best for the job.
#5
#8, Full length shot and bare feet, there all beautiful but #8 has it all, smile, bare feet, background. None of them are bad. I like #8 best.
#5 is unbelievable
Please! # 8,8,5,8,5…whatever
#8 is definitely best!!!
# 8 !!
photo #8 is GR8!!
After long and serious consideration, I think # 8 is the best.
5/13 Her smile lights up her face and anyone’s heart.
All of them are Great!! But I have to vote for #5
After 2 hours of concentrated observation and optical analysis, I prefer #8 because it best projects her as an especially intelligent young woman.
James, appreciate you putting your heart and soul into the Maria pictures and being so thorough. Of course, there were no bad pictures in the group, so that made it even harder to pick just one — or it did for me
#8 says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!Holy Moly!
5/13 sweet, sexy, and confident… this girl knows the game
Larry these need to be made into wallpaper or a screensaver. See what you can do.
I am with you KatDaddy
Gotta be #8 !
Like your thinking JJ
I’ll go with number 8 as well — Wish she had a smile in number 7 then it would win hands down IMO
I’m thinking her #8 matches UKs #8…BEAUTIFUL!
#5 is the BEST!
Mark, after all this time, I still can’t pick a favorite
Larry i’m going with the flo and vote #8
I think they all are good.
nm
iT HAS TO BE #8 Go Cats and Maria!
Does it really matter? The girl is just beautiful. I want her to marry my son so I can have beautiful grandchildren. Larry, can you hook them up?
You have to wait in a long line for a hook up with Maria but don’t blame anyone for asking
12
No. 13 what a beautiful young woman. 13 is my vote, but any of them is a ok.
#8 photo beautiful smile.
12 has to be the winner.
CC. they are all winners
#8? End zone with ball on hip. A UK jersey in the end zone always looks good!
#8 is #1
8,9,10 are very special. She was Miss Kentucky, interview her all day long, Larry.
Eight is great.
LORDY LORDY
LORDY LORDY
AAUGHT TO BE A LAW……………………….

Number 5 it is. Great pic.
My vote is for #4.
