It wasn't SMU, it was Maryland which was ranked #3. SMU had one of the best players that year named Max who was an All American Guard and I got the two mixed.I'm 77 and I have been an avid fan since 1957. I was a freshman in 1958-59 and I remember both Slusher and Pursifal. Ky beat SMU that year after being behind 3 points with 3 seconds to go. [There was no 3 point shot then.] Rupp called a timeout and told Benny Kaufman to drive for a layup and get fouled which he did! Game went to overtime and KY won a game that they should have lost. Great memories!
I am also 72 and my Mom is 98 and still watches "her boys"! GO CATS!!72 here and can still whip half of you all. Just kidding I feel great. Have been taking care of my Mom for last 8 years. She will be 96 next month & she is the biggest UK fan you have ever seen.
Welp! My birth certificate tells I'm 63, my eyes tell me I'm 73, my ears tell me I'm 83, and my knees tell me I'm 93. So, I'm not exactly sure!
I am also 72 and my Mom is 98 and still watches "her boys"! GO CATS!!
That is awesome!I'm 75. How many of you can say they've listened to or watched all of UK's championships as I have?
Thanks for asking. She's struggling a bit these days. However, she loves to wear her UK sweatshirts and watch the games. She don't yell at the refs as much as she once did. The big 1-0-0 is going to be tough, but she can do it. GO CATS!!Back in y'all's days men in their early 20s were typically known as boys...like "college boys", "soldier boys" (Tex Ritter's Deck of Cards).
How does your mom feel about nearing the big 1-0-0?
70. Been following the Cats since I was 10. Went to the same school as Bobby Slusher (Lone Jack, I was in 6th grade when he was a senior) and Larry Pursiful was playing at Bell County High.
So, I guess the next time a certain radio host says that this message board is full of old people, he's right.
You mean like how on Johnny Cash's Cadillac the transmission was a '53 and motor turned out to be a '73? And what model year was it? Well, It was a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58' 59' automobile! It was a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65...
Ok let's do this,how many on RR are 55 and over?I am in at 62+

65 and have been watching and listening to the cats since 1964. I still remember before playing LSU coach Rupp said I don't think anyone is capable of scoring 45 against our boys. After the game in which Maravich scored I think 62 coach just said damn that boy can play
Depending on where he lived he may have listened to JB Faulconer,who was also a play by play man for a number of years. I believe he was on the Ashland-Aetna oil network.Did you listen to Claude Sullivan or Cawood or both?
I remember seeing Austin Carr light up Kentucky every time they played them in Freedom Hall, though Notre Dame seldom won the game.
I`m hanging on to 59 for 1 more week !!
Let it go.......the 60's are not terrible........
Awesome,Is this the oldest cat poster on RR?
I know one that is 83 but he may not want me to disclose who he is, but he still post some, not as much as he used to.
