    What year did you become a UK fan, & who was your 1st favorite UK player?

    My first heroes were Billy Ray Lickert, then Cotton Nash. First game I attended at Memorial was the UK-WVA UKIT game in 1959...Jerry West killed us, but what a thrill to be there! I had been hooked on our heroes by radio several years prior to that first game!

    Rupp's retirement

    I was class of 1970, as were Issel and Pratt. Went to every home game for the four years of undergraduate school. Many of us felt that the Cats would take it all in '70, after pretty darned good years the previous two seasons. Coach Rupp was clearly on the decline as a coach, recruiter and...

    Any idea why we seem to not go after international players that much?

    Too many Wildcats?

    Herein lies the ridiculous posting that is a result of a open forum allowing anyone who wants to join and post. Here's is a guy who is not mostly illiterate, but also has no take. Maybe our board should have more standards when allowing bozos to just come on here and post.

    The NBA always seems to love Ky players. Everyone thinking I should be OAD attitude is getting old!

    You have three guys "like" your post and I don't even understand what the hell you wrote. Totally incoherent. Maybe it had something to do with criticizing Tubby?

    How much better will Richards be next year?

    If you have read the Charles Matthews article about leaving UK, you know that controlling the ball and passing will be key to Nick's improvement in catching and passing the ball. The message is, "make sure you have a grip on the ball before you pass it." Surely Cal can teach this. If a guy who...

    Charles Matthews discusses time with Kentucky

    Conspiracists seem to forget that if anyone ever wanted to find a continuous stream of negative coverage of our program and our coach, there's no better place to find it than right here on Rupp Rafters.

    A great pathway to retirement for Tubby! Good luck, coach!

    Is anyone ever happy here?

    There's another dynamic going on here, too. Unhappiness feeds on itself. Veteran posters know the history of other veteran posters with whom they disagree and they load up the ammo for further arguments against those they don't like. Happens ALL THE TIME. Flammable discussions catch fire...

    The Kentucky Wildcats of this decade are the 1990s Atlanta Braves

    A great observation, though we've NEVER been as bad as the Braves were in the late '80s and 1990. :)
