Cord -- He has the network feed of that 1975 UK-IU game? If so, that is a game changer. As I say, I've tried to find that game for years. If there is any way he could get that in teh hands of Ritchie Curtis, who Bert knows, that'd be huge.

get that to BWO or me so I can upload it to YT for all UK fans’ viewing pleasure

Sorry guys, just talked to him on the phone and he does not have it. He said he thinks his dad had it but after his dad passed don't know what happened to it. Will self ban because of false alarm
you get his dad on the phone then, dying can wait damn it! We have a UK game to watch!
I said I was sorry RR, don't know what else I can do
just busting your chops, cord. That game will go down in infamy as a game that only exists in pictures. Like UK’s first FF in 1942.
Is this the way y'all do it up yonder. I like this idea and I will take mine extra rare. I want blood to run when I cut into it

Ha..No need for a ban Cord. Thanks for following up. It's one of those elusive things like spotting Bigfoot or a UFO...I've heard several times through the years that someone had it, but every time I run it down, it vaporizes. The clue was ESPN Classic -- I knew a producer from there and he checked their library, all their sources. They never had it. Now that was 15-20 years ago, so it might have turned up.
Anyway, again, thanks for running down the lead.
just wait, we’ll find a copy and as soon as we are about to watch it the earth will explode or some shit.
55, my B-I-L had two boys and they were taught how to talk by saying KY basketball players names. He passed away doing what he loved to do best, play basketball. He was playing a pick up game at the Madisonville YMCA, he was running down the court, tripped and fell, he got up took one more step and was gone,50years old!!
Holy cow. I'm sorry to hear he went so young, Cord. My condolences to your family, his boys and you. As someone who loved playing ball until my knees wouldn't take it, I'll say this: He went in my second favorite way I can imagine, after Nelson Rockefeller...
One of my trailers is just like that. Might have to try this sometime. Got plenty of firewood with all the trees on the property.Is the way y'all do it up yonder. I like this idea and I will take mine extra rare. I want blood to run when I cut into it
I have one more question about this 75 game. In the early 70's, I know 72, 73 HBO carried some Kentucky games, you don't think HBO would have this buried in their archives?
RR let me ask you this, do you know any IU grads from back around that time that could dig into Indiana sports archives?
i don’t associate with those pond scum
Ok this, would you for a copy of that game!!!!!!!! One time!!!!
like @Sawnee Cat said, you couldn’t get me to talk to those “people” with a .44 pistol
Would a local affliate have a copy of the game? If anyone would you'd think the NBC (if that's the network that had the game) station in Lexington would have a copy if any of them do.
Maybe someone at the station made/kept a copy for their personal use.
LOL ..... @jameslee32 started a thread in General Discussion titled 'Political Thread vs. D-League' and had this....
He does. It is an old game film (16mm) with Cawood's call. Apparently NBC got rid of all the old tapes.
Year before last Ritchie was visiting and we called Joe B. and asked if he wanted a copy. Joe B. said that if he had that he would watch it ten time. Two weeks later I called him and he said he lied. He only watched it 6 time.
Ritchie has a vast list of UK game and I help him accumulate them.
Sherry and Bert were in his wedding in Smiths Grove, KY.
Ritchie is my second son. I talked to him for two hours night before last. My wife made me hang up as she wanted to watch TV instead of listening to me and Ritchie.
Such is life.
NBC owned the rights.
Awesome gent. He still live in San Antonio area?
In 1975 there were no video tape recorders available to the general public.
I bought an RCA vhs recorder in November 1977 (I still have it upstairs and it weighs a ton), I paid $1,300 in 1977 dollars. Sony had one a few months earlier and it would only record for 90 minutes; but in 1975 you would have had to pay a fortune for a commercial recorder and additionally you would have had to pay a fortune for the tape. When I first got my RCA VHS a two hour tape was $29.00 each.
You would have had to have a commercial video tape recorder in 1975 to capture it and only TV stations had them and a guy who worked at a TV station did not make enough money to buy one.
I have did my part too!He does. It is an old game film (16mm) with Cawood's call. Apparently NBC got rid of all the old tapes.

That's great to know Bert. I only know Ritchie through our emails and correspondence but he certainly seems like a great guy, and he has helped me put together a collection of game videos that gets me through the long summer months. Next time you chat tell him "Mike From Maryland" says hello if you think of it.
I will mention you and if he charges you too much just call me! 🤣
I probably should not let this out, but he is an ordained Baptist minister. He is not pushy but he is a fine minister. He is not full time, but he has some of his sermons on UTube for his church in San Antonio.
Spell out his name completely.
He is not hell fire and brimestone but a reasoned man. I love him.
Here is a picture of Ritchie, me, Ymmot, BKO, and Austin in my den on December 1, 2016. They got uglier and I got prettier.
Man, that’s a Hall of Fame collection of worthy gentlemen and lady. Thanks for sharing Bert.I will mention you and if he charges you too much just call me! 🤣

Did you notice how ugly they are compared to me?

Wow! I'd forgotten all about this photo. What a true honor, privilege and pleasure meeting up with everybody. Unreal.
I did, but want to stay on good terms around here so thought I wouldn’t call attention to that Bert.
I meant that maybe someone at a local station would have a copy that was made at the station. And you're right, someone who just worked at a station wouldn't have been able to afford one at the house.
My dad had one of these. It was in either an Admiral or Curtis Mathis, but that wasn't the name of the recorder. Looked it up and it was called Cartrivision. Only lasted a couple of years. He bought it in about '73 or '74 and as I recall it was a bear to operate. Quality wasn't very good and the recording time for a tape was only maybe an hour (or less). I think he only used it a few times. But that was my dad...he had a very high end movie camera and to my knowledge never got the film developed 😊
Donfather, how's that son of yours, who gave me and my backpack, a ride to the MARTA station been doing these days? Hope y'all are well.
Anybody know how @Bkocats is doing? Haven't seen her posting, unless I missed it, for about 3 months. Know that she had some tough times.I will mention you and if he charges you too much just call me! 🤣

My wife has a Dr. appointment in mid September, in Philly, and we are going to head up to Boston, and go up the coast to Maine, maybe onto Halifax, before returning home. When we go to Philly, we stay over by the convention center, and walk over to Macy's. I really enjoy hearing the Wannamaker Organ.
