-Memorial Coliseum is dated but beautiful. Things are considered "classic" for a reason.

Ernst Johnson, architect of Memorial and Funkhouser, was a Lexingtonian Yalie who was a contemporary to Saarinen... quite the modernist.

so what you call “classic” is indeed, modernism done correctly.

I just hope once the redesign and renovation is complete we can do better than the piece of **** looking vinyl banner hanging from the High Street side when it comes to paying homage to the man who built the program. Thing looks like it belongs on the side of a bar promoting $2.50 domestics during Happy Hour.


At Alabama they have monuments and real life statues honoring Bear Bryant and we’ve got something that looks like Beavis put together in the 11th hour before one of the old school tailgates.

Adolph Rupp deserves better.

Tacky styling agreed but pretty sure that column in the lower photo is necessary to keep the portico from falling down...

I hope we, meaning UK, add unnecessary columns wherever possible.

I literally listened to the game on 630am while stumbling around in the dark during a 100 mile race in Scottsdale, Arizona on Saturday night.

I DNF’d, but I still knew he called the proverbial audible. Get pumped, in other words.

I don’t follow Rex on Twitter but I’m constantly seeing people unrelated to Kentucky or even sports retweeting and quote tweeting him. And every single time it’s him taking someone else’s content and saying “This is what I’m here for” or something similar.

BretB would be so proud or extremely envious.

Me personally I'd like to see more vinyl faux-brick wall covering at Rupp.

Really nice and on brand IMO.
Believe the UKADept is more into reclaimed wood. It's all over everything new around campus. If anyone has rotten pallets or barn wood this is a great opportunity.
