Cal. BCG tried to burn this place to the ground. Cal got fat and lazy but he never embarrassed us like BCG did.
I decided long ago to block off that fact from the way I choose to feel about my (3x) alma mater.
I either ignore it or tell myself that it's just the current group of bureaucrats, not UK itself.
But the way they treat Kentucky kids is about downright insulting - has been that way for quite a while. 🤷♂️
OK, back to UK sports now.
Double OT action Baha Mar, Baylor/St John’s on CBSSN. K Macy on the call

Pretty much my hometown - Central City. Anyway, I've got some great aunts and cousins there. My dad still lives in Graham and my uncle in CC. That said, each year my ties to the area die off. Gonna be weird when I'm the oldest and we realize none of us live there now.
I've been really nostalgic since my grandfather died a few years back and it really hit when my grandmother died this year. Dad's side. Their farm in Muhlenberg was the thread that bound 4 generations together. Now we're contemplating selling it. I nearly took a slight downgrade job in the 'ville to move back to KY just to try to buy that damn thing. I don't know how I'll feel if/when we do sell it.
Anyway....I wish my grandparents had lived to see Pope. I still remember one year getting just blasted with snow and it cutting the power. We huddled in the den by the fireplace with a damn AM battery powered radio and listened to the Cats game. I remember watching '96 with my grandfather in the same den and listening to him talk about '77. I remember my grandmother saying the only two men who could probably get her out on the town besides my grandfather were Bill Clinton and Rick Pitino. Freshman year at UK, I got her tickets to see us play several games as a thank you for all they did for us.
We've had 4 games this year and its the best season I've felt since maybe 2016?
Back to lurking since 2007.
Ah, yes he did. Evansville, St. Peter’s, Oakland….shall I go on
Do / did you know the Eades and /or Gilleses?
Penrod Eades (rip) and Paul Gilles are my fraternity brothers. John Shaver too.
Was that game you listened to in the snowy weather against UF? I remember having to listen to a game against Dan Cross(?) DaMeat Hook and Declerq where I swear it felt like we lost by 1-2 pts before UF became anything.
Could be way off but it rings a bell.

I knew Mark Eades. My cousin is friends with some of the Eades’. Don’t know the Gilles, but is that the same John Shaver who’s family ran the body shop?
Would also like to join in on the “cot damn UK is stingy AF when it comes to in state kids” talk.
Well Calipari is currently blaming God for Arkansas' attendance problems. Seems to be going well.

Calipari Faces at Arkansas He Must Learn He Will Never Defeat
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A lot has been made of the poor a attendance at Arkansas Razorbacks basketball games this season. However, while it's been...
I think UK, like most research schools, don't offer much unless for need and demographics.
Nephew was Ivy league material, UK offered nothing. Still went to UK.
Brother-in-law was recruited by Ivies for mere fact he's from KY, as they want kids from all over. And this was from early 90's.
Buddy visited X a week ago and said they bragged about having kids from every state but N Dakota.
Is it as simple as out of state kids = more revenue?
My ex wife came to UK as out of state bc it was cheaper than in state at OSU.

My child is also going to college. Although he apparently makes so much money at his after school job that he can live like a Kardashian, so I’m not sure I see the point.
