Followed UK basketball since Rupp was still around. Went to UK in the 70'ies but didn't like the fall from grace in the 80'ies and held my head in shame because those days were about character and pride in who you were. Loved the hire of Ricky P, but had to scratch my head with Gillispie. Wasn't a big fan of Cal but was happy a new coach was in town, with recruiting skills. i dropped out of the 'Rafters' with Gillespie and lost my account (citydifferentcat). For all you old cats, do you remember the '96 game (I think it was 96) at LSU, with UK down by (something like 30+ points in the 1st half? Only to have Ricky P go crazy with having everyone shooting 3'ies. Final score was a second half blowout and a Uk win by ten +/-. Brown was the LSU coach and wouldn't shank hands with Ricky.
So, this is my first new post, as an old cat, I'll keep it clean. I enjoy reading your comments, although some are a bit knee-jerk type, many are very good from posters that know the game and love the cats. thank you for reading, enjoy the new coach (whom I really like and believe to be a great hire!), and have a remarkable season. Go cats.
