Before I go to bed, let me just say this: I’m coaching at the Univ. of Kentucky. In my opinion, there is no better job in the world to coach basketball. My plan and my desire is to retire at Kentucky. I think the university feels the same as I do and we’ve talked openly about it.

I am not surprised by this. The rumor was baseless and just something the media does when we are in the NCAA tournament. I wish next year the local media would pass on this junk and focus on our games.
Again THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!!!My bonafides:
Can't believe ya'll missed this one
Prank caller, Do you have pigs feet?

D-League,
Has Willy been freed?

My bride and I were married on April 7th. We picked that date because the basketball season was over by then (when we got married) We haven't changed too much since somebody took this picture.

Not yet. We are still negotiating his release. However, he is scheduled to appear in Las Vegas next month.
That's the same reason we chose April 8th but obviously that doesn't apply anymore. This is the latest they've ever played the NC game. Of course when we got married in 1989 it didn't matter anyway because the team was in turmoil and finished the season at 13-19. One month later they were put on probation for 3 years.My bride and I were married on April 7th.

thanks for the update. Let him know we are pulling for him and if there is anything we can do to help. The old Sharps is loaded

I was married in 1967 and by April 7 basketball was in the rear view mirror. But they play about 10 more games a year now than back then so the season expands. In those days the NBA was coming to a close about now. When baseball started basketball was history and some of the players actually played both sports. Cotton Nash of UK was one that did.
Yeah I remember those days. Sports didn't have as much of an overlap like they do now. The NC game used to be played on the last Monday in March. Then they changed it to the first Monday in April. So now is it going to be the 2nd Monday in April?
Cotton Nash was a great baseball player and even made MLB for a time in the late 60s.
Good morning D-League, beautiful this morning but cool! Tournament time is here! RR has gone bananas, with PJ'S broken ankle, Cal leaving what a mess!!! Wonder how many people are changing their picks this morning after Syracuse player was suspended? I hope everyone has a great day including the CATS!!!!
I have his rookie baseball card. Minnesota Twins. 1971 first base.
Rob and me now
Still a good looking couple.
I probably had his and Mantle's to, but they were also probably stuck in the spokes of my bicycle!!!!!!

Don't get me started on what happened to my baseball card collection. I collected from 1950 to about 1961 when I started college. I had all of the Topps and most of the Bowman. I got them one at a time, trading and buying bubble gum. I still have one Mickey Mantle left as well as a few other good ones. My prize is the Babe Ruth card my daddy gave me. It is a 1927
When I was a kid we used to have a family named Sears that lived up the street. We would call and ask, "Is this Sears?" Naturally they would say yes it is, and we would say something like, " Well where is our swing set, it was supposed to have been delivered this past Monday?" They would try to explain they were not the store and we would say, "Well, then transfer me to the catalogue dept, that is where it was ordered." This would go on for 5 minutes with us telling them we had our credit card receipt, and someone had called for delivery instructions. Another one we used to do was to call a basement waterproofing company. We would ask if they waterproofed basements and of course they said yes. We would say that they needed to come out and look at our basement, that we needed their help. They would ask if it was leaking and we would say yes, and it was costing us a fortune in water bills. They would say they didn't understand and we would tell them that we had to keep adding water to it, daily, that the water kept leaking out and that is why we needed it waterproofed. This would go on for awhile and we finally told them that we promised the kids a pool and since we couldn't afford to build one, we had just been filling the basement with water and letting them swim down there.
My Mom tossed mine, along with all my first edition comic books, when they moved, while I was in college. I had the first of almost all the Marvel comics.
My mom told me several times that her dad my grandfather had a Ty Cobb card that came from a cigarette package. Never saw it, anybody know of a card like that?
Yes, they were very common back them. Lots of cigarette brands had them. Example below. There was also a Home Run cigarette brand. When I was a youngun they were 15 cents a pack but my daddy said they paid five cents a pack when he was a boy.
This brand had baseball cards. There were others
I only have one of my high school yearbooks because they moved while I was away. Heaven knows where they ended up. My arrow head collection gone.
My gosh RR still in meltdown!!! Gotta stay away from there, first 6 topics about PJ being hurt.
I sold a Nolan Ryan rookie card for 600 bucks back in the 90's. How nice would it have been to own that Honus Wagner card that sold for over 3 million. Wayne Gretzky actually owned it at one point.
So if you put your baseball cards on your bicycle does that mean they went
UP IN SPOKES! Asking for a friend!

I never bought a high school yearbook. They never took my picture all through high school. There is only one picture of me in a yearbook and that is on the football team photo when I was a junior. For some reason I thought it was a sissy thing to do.
Twenty two years ago today, I was in a hospital in Alexandria, Virginia awaiting the birth of my second daughter. We had a private room with a TV and I watched the entire Kentucky NCAA tournament game versus St. Joseph's -- a win, of course, on the path to the Final Game that year.
My daughter was born deep in the night, and after my wife fell into a sound sleep I walked outside. The Hale-Bopp comet was at its absolute peak that night and was blazing in the sky. And I knew my daughter was going to be very special, which has turned out to be true.

Warm birthday wishes to your daughter! I have no doubt that you were excited. Being a UK fan you didn't do something foolish after that game and name her Nazr as a tribute did you?
As I recall 82, that game was dominated by Ron Mercer. But no, she's not VeRONica...The nurses were bewildered between my wife's yelps of labor pain and my whoops of basketball joy. I guess not too many Kentucky natives passed through that ward during hoops season.
U6 goes out 86-76 See ya next season Cards practice hard over the summer.
I was at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, CA, on this date 22 years ago.
Auburn damn near lost, probably should have.
Won by the skin of their teeth. New Mexico State had their chances. Welcome to March Madness.
Over the years, I have yelped a few times, myself, watching some UK tournament games. HB to your daughter.
You might not see them next season. I think the chances are good that they get the death penalty, and don't play at all.
