When I subscribed to the hard copy of The Cat's Pause years ago, I always enjoyed learning about UK sports history in Russell Rice's weekly columns. He was truly a living link to Rupp, the Bear, and all those special teams that were before my time.

RIP. Mr Rice, you will be missed. Thanks for your service to our nation and to the UK community.
 
I too enjoyed reading his column in the Cats Pause. He was a walking encyclopedia of UK athletics and will be missed by so many. My condolences to his friends and family.
 
Mr Rice was a huge part of the UK athletic family for decades. He will be missed. He had a life well spent.
 
Bought just about every book that he wrote on Kentucky sports, he was always a good read. I had wondered how he was doing, he will be missed.
 
I enjoyed his cats'pause articles about the older players.He also wrote a few books about kentucky basketball that were excellent reads.
