    What's your 1st memory of watching basketball on TV?

    The first game I can remember watching from beginning to end was the 1966 NCAA title game vs. Texas Western. I watched it with my father, grandfather, uncle, and cousin. The grownups in the room were not very happy with the results, and I learned several new words that I had not heard before. I...

    Anyone Remember the 1974 UK LSU Game

    I remember the game. I hope Dale Brown got his wallet out of the jacket before he threw it, because he never did get it back. Younger fans missed out on the antics that the coaches pulled before the coaches box was established. It was not unusual for some of them to be out in the middle of the...

    When did you attend your first game at Rupp?

    My first game in Rupp was Dec. 2, 1976 vs. TCU. It was the second game played in the new arena. I had gone home for the Thanksgiving holidays, and missed the opening game against Wisconsin. The Cats won 103-53 behind 21 points from Rick Robey and 20 points from Jack Givens.

    Best bars/restaurants in Boise, Idaho....

    That same little queenie that Ronnie van Zant found in 1977 is probably still working the same street corner 41 years later.

    University 6 looking at the death penalty

    They may not be now, but if they don't cooperate with the FBI, they will be. The only legal option they would have is to plead the 5th Amendment.

    University 6 looking at the death penalty

    It won't work in this case. Ignoring an NCAA request for information, or lying to an NCAA investigator = So what? The NCAA can not force anyone to cooperate Ignoring a Federal subpoena, or lying to an FBI agent = Jail Paying someone off to not cooperate with the NCAA = Illegal, but difficult...

    Adolph Rupp History Question?

    Thad Jaracz was an All-SEC and 3rd team All-American center during the 65-66 season, but his production fell way off the next year, when the defenses started paying attention to him. There was also a bit of "Team Turmoil", as starting forward Bob Tallent back-talked Coach Rupp, and was thrown...

    Who was the most physical frontcourt player to play for Kentucky..

    You are in luck regarding video of Leroy Edwards. BillionthUKFan has film of a Jan 1, 1935 game between UK and New York University on his website: http://ukbasketballlive.com/ Prepare to be a bit disappointed, though. Edwards did not have a good game (6 pts), and Rupp used a figure-eight weave...

    Refs for Game Today

    You are correct, qwesley. I see in the box score that McCarty played 24 minutes in that game, which would have been hard to do if he had been thrown out in the first 8 minutes. Thanks to Jon Scott and his wonderful website. Those of us with failing memories would be lost otherwise.

    Refs for Game Today

    Tim Higgins retired a few years ago. I believe that the ref you are thinking about is John Higgins. No idea if there is any relation. If so, then incompetence runs in the family.

    Refs for Game Today

    The 1995 Regional Final game against UNCheat ranks right up there. Kentucky came out on fire, and looked like they would roll over the Tar Holes, and into the Final Four. In order to break our momentum, Ol' Big Nose had his players to try and provoke a fight. They got what they were looking for...

    Kevin Nash on hitting his coach in Lexington

    In the Memorial Coliseum days, the student section always threw oranges during the Tennessee and Florida games. For the most part, the orange-throwing stopped when the games moved to Rupp Arena, because we were too far away from the court. I hit Tennessee Asst. Coach Stu Aberdeen right on top of...

    HELP JON SCOTT

    Thanks for the picture of Brooking's, Cawood. I lived about a block from there during my Lexington days, so it brings back lot's of memories. The brick building next door became the infamous Lynach's Irish Pub. I spent quite a bit more time in there than I did in Brooking's.

    The DDMO please explain... and my questions...

    The jab may have been directed at me as much as you. Looking at the other posts in this thread, it seems like you can not discuss the DDMO without using parentheses. (At least not intelligently).

    Cats vs Buckeyes: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    Quite surprised that the rebounding margin was only -2. It seemed like they had outrebounded us by 8-10 boards at halftime.
