Sad to hear. I will remember his family in prayer. He was one who battled, and battled well.
RIP- Alumni Gym

Sorry for your loss. Since he has passed, is there any harm in our knowing his name? A link to his obit?
Sad. Condolences to his family and friends. Fairly sure he was around these boards for quite a while.
When I saw your title I thought you meant the actual gym. On my visit to Lexington last October Holmes Hall and the old student center were gone, but AG was still standing, likely to be renovated.

Alumni and I got into some disagreements on here, but never personal attacks, which I always enjoyed. The dude loved his Cats! RIP
I wish he could have held on long enough to see at least something happen to unc. Enjoyed his dogged determination to see them suffer. Later.
How did he pass?The biggest kentucky fan I've ever known
Was a very unique individual
Loved the cats!!
And he hated lville, iu, dUKe, & UNCaa to the core
He's in heaven w/ rupp, kieghtly, cawood, ..........
His knowledge of UK basketball history was an asset to the fans , you start losing eye witness historical information as elders pass . As for his disdain of UNC , he may not have witnessed the punishment but he knew who they really were before he left . ray:
ray:I do not believe in lying about someone just because they died. I am sure Alumni Gym the man was great, but as a poster on here I thought he was an arrogant, I know more about UK basketball than everyone, I am the world's greatest fan and if you agree with me on 99 topics but disagree with me on 1, you are my enemy....type poster, but having said all that he was a passionate UK fan and may he RIP and prayers to his family and friends in this tough time.
RIP Alumni Gym. Your posts will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends. AG please put in a good word for the rest of us UK fans who will surely follow you.
This whole thread is fishy. Op has been asked several times for details with non forth coming. I am guesssing, HOAX.
Always enjoyed his posts, folks like him add much to the board. When things like this happen it serves to remind us that there are real people behind these screens, with families, friends and lives outside the computer screens. we have a good time here talking UK basketball, poking fun at each other and other programs. RIP and as a poster here well done sir!
He posted like could imagine my Dad would if he had an account. Like a crazy old man that actually liked the Cats too much, to the point of being UK dumb and blind to everything else.
Honestly the guy couldn't stand me, but I always grinned because I could imagine my Dad arguing with me like a fool.
Prayers for the family. I will miss his posting on a humorous level.

Alumni Gym was a very good poster. Sure, he got into it with some posters on here but many of us do that without even trying sometimes. I enjoyed the information he shared and his love of the Cats. On the old board, where we were allowed to have "Friends" on our home page, he was one of mine. We were able to request "Friends" from posters that we really enjoyed. Gonna miss him around here. Sorry for your loss, catastraphic, and for his family. RIP, Alumni.
Perhaps, perhaps not...the legend of Alumni Gym will spread regardless.
Op replied twice saying that he was his best friend and even where he passed away at. Dear God, does he have to have a picture of the body?
Very sad for the loss of your friend, cat-73. Thoughts are with you. AG was a great poster and UK Blue, tried and true. very sad. I'm taking the rest of the day off from posting.
I'm aware I've been here since around 99/2,000.
How did he die? There's no info given?
It's not about lying IMO. It's about looking for the good in people when the pass. He was die hard UK. We've lost a brother regardless.
Kind of makes you wonder who the fool was... just saying imuo
I clicked on this thread thinking something had happened to the actual building on campus. Sorry to see it's about one of our own. RIP AG!

I agree, and hence me ending my post on the positives and a high note. This is all much bigger than sports anyways and we really did not even know the person, hence the "I'm sure he was a good/great man" part as well. Knowing him based on the message board, he'd respect the honesty and then come up with some creative comeback to me to own me. He was good at that, for sure.
Sad to hear...a good poster, too
Also, if you went to UK and played pick up ball, you know his poster name is just about the best one on here.
RIP Alumni Gym!

I understand and deeply sorry. I just found out a guy I was friends with took his life yesterday. He was 27, and had a lot going for him.
Some things just don't need to be made public
