If you attended UK

[WeWant9]

How did the team do when you were a student?

I transferred to UK in 2011 and graduated in 2013. So I had some amazing times with the 2011 FF, followed by the 2012 title. 2013 was rough, but still had the highs of the two years prior.

A lot of hazy memories from the 11 and 12 NCAATs.

93-98. Yeah. By the way, haven’t been around for a bit, hope everyone doing well.

Grad school at UK, following probation just in time for the Unforgettables season and the Mashburn F4 season. If can’t witness a national title, those 2 years were about the next best thing.

My freshmen year was 38-1. Campus was electric that season. Had a Com-101 class with the four freshmen (KAT, Book, Lyles and Ulis). All cool dudes who always seemed to be around campus enjoying the student life. My junior year was Fox, Monk and Bam, also a super fun time on campus, didn’t see them as much but probably because I was in my college taking special courses. I was on campus during an interesting time because by the time I graduated football and basketball had almost switched in popularity.

1988-1992. it was magical when Pitino came on campus and started turning things around. I remember the “3” signs in the dorm windows whenever I walked to class. It was pretty incredible.

95-99. Not too shabby.

[UK67KU59]

2005-2009. Not good 😔

Did another stint from 2011-2014. Much better 😎

 

[Rockford]

At UK 1975-1979

Cats kicked a lot of ass.

 

[YardCat]

Toured campus, wasn’t going to have a car. Ended up at EKU from 86-91, drank so much (CRS) Got to meet most of UK every Thursday night.

 

[know1]

My first year was Pitino's first year. Obviously they were on probation, but that team was just flat out fun to watch live. The rest of the years just kept getting better.

 

[HagginHall1999]

I graduated HS in 1998 so had a helluva run in HS. Went to NKU my Freshman year.

As for college...some good moments full of disappointment...

Transferred to UK in '99.

'00- lost 2nd round to Syracuse
'01- lost Swt 16 to USC
'02- lost Swt 16 to Maryland
'03- lost EE to Marquette (graduated Dec '02)

Had some great times though....

Did you have DeSantis? Guy was a riot...

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Living on campus during some of these runs must have been wild.

In contrast, I was with a lot of Syracuse grads this weekend for a wedding. They were nice and all, but Syracuse fans love to pretend their program is at this same elite level as Kentucky and Duke are. These guys still talk about their "glory days", which really was a single title in 2003, Melo, and almost nothing else. So I can't imagine what it must have been like to be on campus for an actual LEGIT basketball program.

We mighta found our guy to blame… 🤔

Pre Cal so not good.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I only attended 5 semesters, sometime apart. Freshman year lost in Sweet 16. Sophmore year lost in Elite 8. I was in school for BCGs first semester.

I corrupted devin askew and that group? And it’s been downhill since then.

 

[drew0422]

2005-2009. Rough basketball years but a few fun football memories with the 2007 team. MBA in 2009-2010 during Cal’s first year and and that made up for all of it. What a blast.

That’s brutal.

Being in Lexington for a deep tourney run is hard to beat.

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

84-86

Final 4 twin towers in '84 and Elite 8 (f-ing ricky blanton!) in '86. That '86 team was my favorite non-titleists for a couple of years...until the '92 team (f-ing christian laetner)

 

[Wonky]

2004-2008.

Lost to UAB as #1 overall seed
Lost to Michigan State in Elite 8 double OT
Lost to UConn
Lost to Kansas
Lost to Marquette

Still had a ball.

1996 through 2000 (Graduate School). Indeed. One helluva good ride. Lots of fun nights on Euclid!

 

[playmorezeppelin]

My freshman year was 2011-2012 season. Senior year was 2014-2015. Maybe the best stretch of time ever to be on campus I would imagine. Witnessed a championship and three F4s in total.

No it was the Indian professor. Raj I believe? Nice man who understood the assignment with the players in the class lol he was not going to fail them.

DeSantis taught 101 back in my day....will never forget walking in on first day of class in massive auditorium and he was blasting Blink 182.

 

[TCurtis75]

1996-1999, so I had one helluva run!

My time there as well...Went to each Final Four in New York, San Antonio, and Indy...It was a helluva time to be a student there.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

GUILTY!!!

I told askew he was him, and could beat his man off the dribble, I should of just shut up

 

[TCurtis75]

My freshman year was 2011-2012 season. Senior year was 2014-2015. Maybe the best stretch of time ever to be on campus I would imagine. Witnessed a championship and three F4s in total.

I would argue my stretch of 95-99 was the best. 3 championship games in a row plus a title. Either have a claim.

Was he the guy that taught barefoot? I had whoever that guy was.
