Was the premier matchup of the decade IMO. At least until 98ish
A few years in a row it was played on Super Bowl Sunday and i was just as excited about that game as my Cowboys playing in the Super Bowl.
Rick vs. Nolan. I'll never forget the SEC Tourney the year we won it all. We were up 9 with around 90 seconds to play and Antoine Walker caught fire and y'all got us.
I had just moved to Louisville from Little Rock the year before we joined the SEC. Got a job bartending at TGI Fridays and met lifelong UK friends there. There was no internet yet but those old Blue Haired UK Fans could talk just as much shihtt in person as anyone on the internet. It was great banter back and forth leading up to that first SEC Matchup at RUPP Arena.
I have some favorite UK players from my last thirty years plus here. Tony Delk and Monster Mash are probably at the top. Delk was just an assassin and Mashburn could do it all.
I sat through this website during the Cal hire and watched the "Door" live.
This whole Cal to Arkansas thing is still weird for me but no question it's re-energized a once great rivalry.
