Probably before you younguns' time, but those Mullin vs Ewing Big East battles were must see tv back when the Wildcat Willy's first got ESPN. Lou Carnesecca vs John Thompson. Oh my.

The St. John's Redmen were fantastic. The St. John's Red Storm suck ass.

 

[PTI (pti)]

That was pretty badass. Thirty five years ago.

 

[VernHatton52]

The '99 squad was solid: Eric Barkley, Ron Attest, Lavar Postell, Bootsy Thornton. They lost to Ohio St in the Sweet 16 in Knoxville.

Sergio Luyk was UHA's first legit star, remember it being a huge deal when he was balling up there from the 2nd Region.

Lol. Dude is actually pretty brilliant w/ his crossover attempt -- the beat on that song is exactly the same as Sam Hunt's entire album, and 80% of songs on country radio right now.

Instant Multi-Millionaire.

 

[PTI (pti)]

I’m not sure why “artists” even bother trying to make quality music anymore. Joke’s on them, as they’re mostly wasting their time.

Krazy Kat’s breaking into the crossover game or nah?

I enjoy Old Town Road, but it does mildly remind me of something from The Oogieloves movie.

 

[wcc31]

Willy is always eager to let us know what an oldass sonofabitch he is.

Thanks, I guess.

Joe Hall lost to St. John's (led by Mullin, Walter Berry, Mark Jackson, and Bill Wennington...kind of a ridiculous team looking back) in his final game at UK.*

* Richard "Master Blaster" Madison went 2-9 in that game fwiw. Loved me some Master Blaster. And BretB (RIP) fouled out.

 

[Brandon Stroud]

We don't make enough Bootsys anymore tbh

 

[UKRob 73]

Whichever one is most expensive should get the nod. Easy decision.

Whichever is more expensive AND has the best chance of getting their picture in TOPS.

Was the game Kenny Walker got poked in the eye, as a result of which he wore goggles the entire next season. As a 16 year old, I don't think I ever liked a player more than Sky Walker circa 1985.

What is a crossover game?

[wildcat1973]

Man, I miss those days.

Kenny Sky Walker
Winston Bennett
Smooth Ed Davender

13 yo 73 nirvana. And you got to watch the players for 4 years!!!!

 

[Booker Noe]

Upset of the decade is that I still haven't seen Pope listed on the Dr. page of those. Must be waiting for the flash sale.

Of course he would be the one wearing a lab quote. I mean you have to know he is a doctor.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Read The Athletic article about the hustle involved at the Final Four every year with college coaches trying to land gigs, networking, backdoor deals. Low level assistants sleeping on floors, grinding, hustling. Chris Beard not too long ago.

Got me thinking to Justus. He should’ve been there and gone that route. Here ya go, slapdick. Go find a gig and earn your stripes.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

I fully understand why people wouldn't want to pay for stuff like that in 2019, but The Athletic consistently produces incredible content - nothing else even comes close. It's my one 'Magazine' subscription, and worth every penny imo.

 

[wildcat1973]

You know what was awesome in the 80s? Print ads. I mean, who didn't rip this out of SI and throw it up on their bedroom wall? I didn't need a fat head or shit like that. Just ripped it right out of the magazine, and used some scotch tape.

Or this one?

Great ****ing time to be alive.

I’ve never worn a lab quote.

Have another Booker.

 

[Wildcat Willy]

Jeez, Geese. What in the hell are you putting in Booker's coffee?

When you have s on here taking about Malik Sealy as "Classic St. John's" it was obvious that some old school knowledge needed to be dropped.

But if you wanna , we can . My Arctic Foxes have a huge soccer match against the red team tonight. I'm in the mood to scrap.

 

[Century Cat]

Go Oldballs!

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Aggie Sale was so dope back in the day, I miss that era.

 

[wildcat1973]

Chris Mullin was in NBA Jam, and EVERYONE on here played that, so we're not THAT old.

Just sayin'...

Sorry lab coat. Been working on quotes today.

-vendor treated lunch at keeneland. +$150 and a free Reuben...nice lil afternoon.

-eating at ruby's Saturday...the Interiors are opulent, indeed.

-ushering maundy Thursday service tonight which consists of a performance of the rutter requiem. Music feeds the soul, gang.

 

[Brandon Stroud]

Music feeds the soul, gang.

Come on over to the light side, Rudd

One of the worst beats of my childhood came on Holy Thursday. Buddy invited me over to spend the night (STRAIGHT from school ) as we were off for Good Friday. Pumped, of course. That's a good look.

Get to his crib, hoops all afternoon, then around dinner (Papa John’s? Gatti’s?) his mom comes out and tells us it’s time for church.



Your boy spends the next few hours sitting in silence at the Holy Thursday service. I could have killed him. Dude denies he knew about it to this day. I've never accepted that. 2nd biggest betrayal in Holy Week history IMO.

At least it was Mass. A lapsed Catholic now, I was invited by a neighborhood kid to go bowling with him and his family on a Saturday when I was in 5th grade. Should have been tipped off when I was told we were leaving at 8am sharp but 11-year old me just wanted to bowl. We proceed to leave Crestwood to some Pentecostal church that was being housed in a rundown house on Lyndon Lane. Two hours of prayer meeting followed by a prayer once we got to the alley,(in a junked out school bus). A prayer before we played, A prayer as we were leaving and then 2 hours of service when we returned to the house of worship. My weekend was shot and I don't think I talked to him again.

Ended up playing “NBA Hangtime” more in aggregate, TBH.

We can all use Google, dumbass. Now GTFO and STFO.

I normally don’t watch CNN, but this is fun. Sour grapes galore.

22 months, 25 million dollars, all the resources in the world...all based off a hoax.

Can’t wait to see the investigation into those who launched the witch hunt. Somebody ain’t been telling the truth to get the FISA warrants, and that’s a crime.

 

[VernHatton52]

When witches are about, you hunt them.

I some how forgot Keion Brooks committed to us so I was surprised when he signed today.
