Black dude in the white shirt ftw. He gets it.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Mark Bell graduated in 89.

 

[wcc31]

Mark Bell wasn't ish without Darnell Mee.

 

[_Chase_]

I like how Old Man River stands up and says "Wontcha shake it now"

You can debate whether he actually says that, but you'd be wrong.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Naturally, the floppy-banged ******** are being floppy-banged ********.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Wheat & Lee were West End. Beard was an East End dude... His dad is was Butch Beard.

 

[UK_Dallas]

So many great things happening in that gif. The security guy in the white shirt smiling kills me.

 

[SAECATFAN]

It really is the greatest gif in the storied history of SEC basketball.

Pretty sure Davenport also hated Harris, but probably need to have that verified.

 

[buckethead1978]

I liked Ellis Myles. Dude hustled.

Loved Taylor Coppenrath despite only knowing him for one game

In the same vein, Ali Faroukmanesh.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Harris could ball in high school. Deadeye shooter. Davenport liked him.

My sophomore year at Ballard in 95 Ballard played Oak Hill in Broadbent Arena. Ron Mercer's senior year. Tons of Billy Joe Wildcats came to see Mercer and the entire UK team rolled in to see him as well. Was really cool.

Harris checked Mercer for a bit.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Harris checked Mercer for a bit.

False.

 

[BBdK]

Wonder if Harris introduced Davenport to Rick Pitino?

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

False.

He did. Not all game. But there were a few possessions. He also injured his knee that game. ACL or MCL. Out for the year.

 

[SAECATFAN]

So there were a few possessions where Mercer didn't score on Harris before Harris blew his knee out guarding him?

K.

"Checked."

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Checked meaning guarded, SAE. Never said he stopped Mercer. **********.

 

[UKRob 73]

Ballard Bruin Dejaun Wheat, folks. He started over 73 because Davenport hated Jeremy iirc.

If I was the coach, I would have started 73, just so I wouldn't have to listen to his dumbass next to me on the bench

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Kinda an unnecessary escalation there, Richie

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

"I got Mercer."

(Knee explodes)

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

K-Gars band of misfits and hooligans in rural southwest podunk Virginia also played Oak Hill. Same with Thomas and Julius Jones in football.

Now that would have been a sight.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Kinda an unnecessary escalation there, Richie

Seriously. The guy's on edge these days.

I need to update my Cherokee Park jive, I guess.

 

[BBdK]

We played UHA when they were Top 5 in the nation (Barnes, Victor, Swanigan frontcourt)...and lost by a bucket.


I didn't check anyone.

 

[Century Cat]

Need Willy to photoshop Harris checking Mercer.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Don't think Pitino was too fond of Davenport back
then. There was some shady **** with the recruitment of Wheat. Billy Donovan was UK's lead recruiter for Wheat and Davenport kept intercepting the letters from Donovan and not giving them to Wheat. Not that Wheat would've gone to UK as a black kid growing up in the West End with his dream was to play for UL and UK wasn't cool to black kids in Louisville in the early 90's. Plus, the whole Rupp stigma was real whether it was fair or not.

You see, Davenport would do everything he could to steer Wheat towards UL. He mirrored his program around UL. Ran Denny's UCLA high post offense to a tee. His lifetime goal was to get back on Denny's staff, which happened in 96.

 

[catholic_back]

Checked Lonnel Dewalt 7th and 8th grade as we beat them for the southern KY middle school ship.

I did not, however, check him when he hit his growth spurt and was literally dunking all over us as freshmen. Stuff of nightmares, there.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

I checked Merced in a summer game (when he was still at Goodpasture) until he drove baseline and reverse-crammed on me for the And-1. I believe that was the 3rd possession of the game so I totally shut him down for a bit.

 

[Century Cat]

Checked Darryl Isaacs in 3rd grade YMCA, and shut him down cold.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Dewalt is probably one of the most talented athletes I've seen in Kentucky in terms of raw ability. Gracious. Sad he never really made it.

 

[TheShowKiller]

We played UHA when they were Top 5 in the nation (Barnes, Victor, Swanigan frontcourt)...and lost by a bucket.


I didn't check anyone.

South Hopkins HS (RIP), way ahead of the analytics curve. Basically, only shot threes or layups.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Need Willy to photoshop Harris checking Mercer.

This

 

[wcc31]

- I checked Eugene Land and by checked, I mean got swatted by him 107x.

- I like that Richie's on edge. It's March- time for some of you jokers and F-ups to get serious .

 

[SAECATFAN]

Nothing really to be stressed about. Rupp won 4 titles in 42 years. Cal's currently on pace to match, or better that. Chill.

 

[Wodie sloot]

-I think Richie must be on edge b/c the infant lack of sleep may be starting to catch up.

I've heard several people from GYERO mention they "liked" Ron Slay. I guess I missed the memo, because I f*cking despised that guy.

-Somehow PTI was buddies with Ron Slay when he lived in Knoxville. We had a fun night hanging out with him and gave him lots of ****.

-ukguy, I am very sorry about your dog. That stuff is hard to take and sucks a lot.

-It is March, so that's good. Is the forecast gonna clear up for the whole weekend in Nashville? That would be helpful with my packing adventures. It doesn't look too bad, just may be a little cool on Saturday (and rainy that night).

-BBdK back in for Nashville? I guess Anth shamed him into it?

 

[wcc31]

BBdK bitches out on the SEC Tournament every year at tge first sign of adversity only to come back a week before with his tail between his legs.

ABH and I were talking about it this weekend- UK would be better off if he wasn't a fan. JOO

 

[TriangleUKCat]

I watched the second half of that game with my grandfather in the hospital. He was silent during most of it but after UK won, he said with a smile, "I'll rest easier now." He passed the next day. Can never watch that half enough.

 

[BBdK]

Only adversity this year is the new house/bank account & upcoming butthole sympathy vacation I schemed my wife while I was holed up in bed -- which we used our Nashville points for. Nashville or Barcelona? (tough one) Had nothing to do with the actual team other than not trusting them with non-refundable rooms at the juncture I would have had to book them.

However, BitchyJoeWildcat seems to have helped with Award Cert Availability, so pending. :eyes:



Btw, Chad bitches on the SEC Tournament EVERY year, period. [laughing] Who TF you talking to?

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Dewalt had one of the best dunks I've ever seen live during the state championship game against Mason County. It was a chase down, grab the missed shot, and throw it violently through the rim at a "Grant Hill outside the backboard" type of angle. That's the only time Rupp has ever looked like one of those mixtape community centers after a big play. People covering their mouth with a closed fist, holding others back in the aisles, making "who farted" faces, scooting off the edge of seats with both feet in the air. What a scene.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

I'm not going to the SEC Tournament this year. Just an FYI. Plan accordingly.

 

[Wodie sloot]

PTI, I am hoping 2018 will be your triumphant return to the SEC Tourney. (though I guess you did show up in 2015)

 

[BKH34]

Shout out to Randolph Childress.

Still the most emasculating play in the history of basketball.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

butthole sympathy vacation

sources say that this is 2017's hot new trend, the new "babymoon" or whatever
