As I've told fans here that trash Andy Kennedy, you don't know how bad the ole miss facilities are. It's absolutely pathetic. he's done great recruiting to the tad pad.

Very happy for them. It's going to help.

That looks pretty nice. I think the SEC network is putting a little bit of pressure on the schools to put more time/money into hoops.

I hope it has good lighting. The old one seemed like you were watching the game under a 40 watt bulb.

Only 9500 seating capacity?!?!? Don't they know about all that revenue they will lose when Kentucky comes into town?

 

[GOING FOR #9]

Happy for my alma matter. They are taking everything to next level

I'm kinda upset it didn't open sooner. Was our year to play at ole miss. Always get great seats from a buddy

Ole Miss had their shot at glory when they had their mascot election a few years back. They blew it big time.

Looks like there's not a bad seat in the house.

That would be great

 

[RKulmer]

Past time for UK to build an on campus arena and quit letting the city suck off of the basketball team. Could you imagine what we could have if they started from the ground up?

Dan Issel set the scoring record of 53 points in the Tad Pad on Feb 20th,1970..He was unstoppable and Coach Rupp left him in til he eclipsed Cliff Hagan's record of 51 points..on a drive to the rim and an old fashioned 3 point play.He charged but the referee,Lou Bello,called blocking on Ole Miss and winked at Adolph.The Free Throw set the record and Issel got a nice ovation from the crowd and his Father who made the trip.Then Rupp took The Horse out and congratulated him..It stood til Jodie Meeks hit 54 against UT..

I do too man. Love going. We will have to meet up and graph on the next go. Great seats actually the best a UK fan can get on the road. Empty team hotel as well for dads and sons it's just a great thing.

Btw, I was able to get close to boogie a few months ago. something you might like I remember you asking. Hit me an email.

They should at least put up a plaque for Cal, he said on National TV that there were squirrels in the UK locker room. Said he told Kennedy, " Do you want me to help you get a new building ".
