I went to very few WKU games because UK usually played on the same night and I would stay in my dorm and watch UK. I commuted my last 2 years so I was usually home by 1:00 and working and never hung around campus late enough for games.
Actual UK grads

- Start date
I hate everyone in this thread lucky enough to get to go to UK.
I'd slap everyone of you out of sheer anger.
Will trade Memphis diploma for 60 hours of UK credits....

So did MJ have a scholly to Transy? Are you upset he went to Transy over UK? Compare their academic standings. Transy much more respected academically
I went to more Women's games than Men's games. (probably 4-5 women's games a year & 1-2 men's)
1) they were a much better team (National runner-up the year after I grad)
2) you could get slightly closer seats
3) a few weren't so bad to look at
4) I knew one of the starters (my best friend's girlfriend was her roommate),
Info for you UK grads living out of state. Your kids can get in-state tuition if they have a parent that is a UK grad and is a member of the UKAA for the 4 years prior. I joined the UKAA 3-4 years ago, just in case my oldest goes to UK.
Not even close. College of Central Florida in Ocala, Florida. I didn't take high school seriously and couldn't afford a real college. Had dreams of being a UK student. Got denied when I applied and it crushed me, even though it was my fault for sleeping through all my classes.
4th grade at the Tates Creek campus. We've got a ways to go before making college decisions!
Why would I be upset if he went to Transy? Why would I be upset if he went to Pikeville College? Why would I be upset if he went to Centre? Why would I be upset no matter where he went ? Why is that an issue?
The bottom line Matt Jones is running for political office and bringing in as many UK fans to vote for him can't do anything but help. You and I both know that.
In hindsight; yes; pretty dumb. The hardest part behind me; two years of Engineering and Geology at Vandy; then back to KY to take over the family farm; degree in Agriculture. WTH was I thinking? Worked out OK, however. I'm now retired in FL, coming back to KY to visit during the "good weather months".
Just another dumb farmer I guess. Seriously though Enjoy they retirement, I’m sure you earned it and I hope to someday say the same for me
I was right there. We poured out the doors of CSF at the buzzer and found the whole rest of the world standing there. Lost most of the skin off my hands giving high-fives. In '96 I mean. Then rinse and repeat.

Started 1990–91. BA English 2003 long story.
Started grad school 2011. If I could read Attic Greek real fast I'd have an MA in Classics already. But I read Attic Greek real slow.
If Duke had offered me a full ride I'd have said Seriously? **** Duke.
Can I say that here? Just the **** Duke part I mean. Can I say **** Duke here? Coz I'm pretty sure I can say the Seriously part. Seriously though. **** Duke.

By the way how many realize UK is the premier Latin-teaching institution in the entire world?
I’m a MSD which most school systems call FMD. Not a very common certificate so hopefully I won’t be unemployed anytime soon. Plan on furthering and getting my Lbd cert too
Yes. School of Education (Secondary). Political Science major, History minor....

My UK experience was much different than my children. I was a freshman during Sutton's last year. Our football team has been pretty irrelevant except for the periods when we were cheating, so I didn't sweat our football team sucking. But as a huge UK fan, I was really disappointed that our basketball team was not good for the majority of my 4 years there. Unfortunately, I was a senior when Christian Laettner made "the shot." The good thing is that while I was there, students got lower level mid court seats. Sections 31 and 32 if I remember correctly. I do think actually being on campus makes your fandom greater, at least during the period that you are there.
My two cents.....for what it is worth. MSD is the most Christ-like calling/profession of any I know. I think it is even more so than even a priest or nun. You will be dealing with many children that are non verbal, verbal only while screaming/crying, wear diapers, are incapable of movement, only able to move via wheelchair, only able to move with walkers, have major aggressive/violent behaviors due to their low IQ (So it is not like a smart BD kid that knows what they are doing completely), will not progress academically no matter how hard you work with them (Not saying they will not make any progress in any areas but the trajectory will often be very low) and sometimes die due to medical issues like grand mal seizures under your care. The reward is seeing the little glimpses of progress they make and feeling the reward from every bit of kindness/patience you bestow on them every day. It can be a thankless.frustrating job sometimes even if it is a calling from a higher power. The burnout rate is very high so prepare yourself with another degree in case you want to make a change down the road.
On the other hand, our wonderful Governor Bevin would say you are ignorant, ill-informed, selfish, a hoarder of sick days, and a thug. But what do I know after teaching special ed for 28 years?? Politicians that have never spent a day in one of my classrooms always know best.
You’ll be fossilized poop by then. I have one more payment to LCA! Then 15 years of payments will be over. :smiley:
Wow. Idek how to reply but that’s some good stuff. I love my job more than anything though. And sometimes in my field it is the smallest steps that mean the most to the parents of my students. My dream is to do more collaborative work between fmd and Lbd students.

B.S. Civil Engineering; Class of 1981. Had to study so much that time pretty much flew by and there was little opportunity to party like a lot of students. No regrets as I've been gainfully employed since I graduated.
No dorm "living" but lots of Kirwin nights. Apparently they (towers) are coming down soon too. Way overdue. 6 pack was the only worse accommodations on campus unless you count Two Keys bathroom floor.
You know what's stupid? Thinking Duke gives free rides to people who don't also have free rides from other comparatively esteemed institutions that don't cost them their souls.
There's a word for people who sell their souls to get what they could also get without selling their souls. Can't remember what it is. Adjective or something. Got a feeling it rhymes with Cupid....
Anyone?
