It is still called that, although we have had very few since Cal arrived.
It seems like we have only had walk ons for the past few years and even with Reid this year, he is not a senior.
Maybe we should call it the "Last Game at Rupp" and invite the one and dones to walk through the ring so we can send them to the NBA with applause and cheers. What ever it is called it is not the same as when Joe B was coach. He took it to another level and it was one of the best scenes in college basketball. The networks had to stop showing it because it was seen as a recruiting advantage.
Just a thought. I have accepted times change. Even UK basketball
Cord, I agree with you, somewhat. I loved the days when you watched the players progress, before they left. However, as you say, it is just different times. I would like to see these kids as seniors, but would you want to see Zion Barrett, and Reddish as seniors? As long as Cal continues to recruit the best, you will still see them leave, at least until the NBA changes the draft rules. I would rather do it this way, than to see him get mediocre talent and suffer through a bunch of losses until they became juniors and seniors.
They could but who knows who will go and who will stay? If PJ had gone through the ceremony last year, he would look silly coming back and doing it again. Then again, if he hadn't and then stayed in the draft, he would have missed it. I agree, it is not the same. I remember when Happy would come out and sing My Old KY Home and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Nobody could beat us on those days. Just different times.
Ours is 50 this year!!!
And at least one of KJ's foul shots were the front end of the bonus. That means he left at least 5 pts on the floor. That will get you beaten in the tournament. If they took as much time to practice foul shots as they did flexing after plays, they might shoot better from the line.
It was 1.5 degrees warmer.
Ben I was talking about our players, Pukes can leave after their first year! LOL
Mine are not dry with a recording!!!
All the hype will only make their loss in the tournament that more devastating for their fans, and ESPN. They will have to put Bilas and Vitale on suicide watch.
Oh, an unlevel playing field. I like that.
Something that was and will never be again. You hate to see traditions die but that is the society we live in.
I tried to make as many of them as I could and took off vacation days to make it a long weekend. It was worth the 850 mile drive just for that one moment. Rest in Peace Happy
They wanted to throw him a bone since he will not be coaching next year.
Speaking of Joe B I can remember one call-in show where a young girl called in and asked Joe B this, Coach do you know the difference between a true KY fan and a fair weather fan? He said what's the difference? She said a fair weather fan says we won they (KY) lost, A real KY fan says we won or we lost. I never ever listen to the post game call ins any more cause I hate hearing someone (idiot trolls) ask hey coach how does it feel to get your ash kicked by two points tonight!
Good morning from Orlando. Currently 47°F. Sunny and windy. Should hit 62°F.
Happy for another road win. Cats fought hard.
I took yesterday off from social media, including this board. Just needed some time for reflection. I also tried to obtain mom's death certificate, but it's not yet ready. Florida Dept. of Health normally requires 10 days business days after death until availability. Trying again this coming Friday.
I'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Good morning D-League, been a while. Just dropping in to say hello. It's freezing in Wild West Georgia - 25 degrees - that's real cold for us.
And the rain...I can't take any more rain. The levy is about to break.

I'll stick with the original equation. Are you one of those E/m=C*2 guys?
Thanks Bert! Isn't that about how much they tell us the climate has warmed over the last 100 years? I rest my case.
Make sure you get more than one. I had to order more to resolve some insurance stuff.
Good advice. Most who require a death certificate demand an original one. Not one copied at home from your HP Printer. I found that out when my mother died.
Bert used New Spice aftershave. Came in handy when the stone lost its edge.
Ymmot looks like Bert tried it on his head first! LOL

SC think about this, when you said recruiting advantage senior night, that's a short ceremony compared to the on the ram it down our throats Puke jerseys and awe shucks royboy tarhoe mascot car commercials!!! Not fussing just saying!!

Can KY beat that son?!
Just had breakfast on top of the 32oz of coffee I've drank this morning. 3 egg, bacon, cheddar omelette. Now I'm ready to attack the afternoon. if it attacks me first
It’s right here in Yahoo’s story from the trial:
“I’ll never forget that,” Kaplan said. “They knew it was wrong and they were covering their tracks. And they were making sure they were covering Rick Pitino’s tracks. Why were they covering Rick Pitino’s tracks? Because they knew he was out if he did know.”
Pitino was fired anyway when the federal charges were first announced. He is the only head coach to lose his job thus far.
Louisville, Kansas and North Carolina State all offered victim-impact statements prior to sentencing. Louisville even claimed the case had demoralized alumni and defeated the fanbase. But as Moore noted, two of Louisville’s own assistant coaches were involved in possible NCAA violations, “yet they have not yet been prosecuted.” And if the school wasn’t willing to fire Pitino after prostitutes entertained players and recruits at parties in the dorm, then how demoralizing could this have been?
“I think the way Louisville handled ‘StripperGate’ was telling,” Moore said after the sentencing.
Haney was even more direct, mocking the entire concept that the Cardinals could be an aggrieved party, labeling it, “one of the most non-compliant and dirtiest basketball programs in the history of the NCAA.”[Yahoo.com]
HaHa! The NCAA might find some reason to overlook all this stuff kind of like they did with the Miami stuff that allowed ul to keep Bridgewater despite the fact that he was dirty and dealt with dirty people.

The only problem is, cordmaker, that the networks could not transmit Senior Night at UK because it was a recruiting ploy.
The Duke shit is ruled otherwise.
Screw the NCAA.
I think I'm caught up and likes applied. Great reading. Especially the event reaction stuff. Thanks to ymmot. Some body is gonna win 6. FCC.
Me too. The funeral home ordered them for us.
Might as well be the Cats.

Same way with Wildcat lodge, until other schools built them. Then it was ok, of course.
I thought you were a sausage guy, although I have always thought that bacon is the most perfect food.
The mascot taught the class that all the athletes took.
Hell, Ben I forgot that.
Horrible.
UK starts a lot of stuff and because of that we have to pay.
I forgot something I meant to say awhile ago. Thanks to those that mentioned Happy Chandler. I remember Kenny Walker's Senior year, happy sang our song and I tell you I cried too. I can tear up just thinking about it. Great memories. FCC.
Isn't that the truth. When I was a student, Bear Bryant had the University of Alabama football program build what was called the Taj Mahal for college football "dorms" for his players. Only football players lived in it. It was celebrated and applauded and even had a huge piece in Sports Illustrated singing it's glory. Then Joe B had one built for the basketball team and all hell broke loose. Everybody complained and the media went crazy.
For you youngsters, hating everything UK basketball didn't start yesterday. It has been with us since the very beginning. When Adolph Rupp took his teams to New York City and beat their butt the hate began. It has never stopped
