Troy McKinley

[Gromcat]

Thought some olds would like to see this. I usually have all of my UK game used J’s in frames but honestly forgot about a few stuffed in the closet. Moving to the gulf and came across it. I never hear much of anything about this guy, but this is one Joe Hall gave to us years ago. Excuse the guns I am limited on room because of the move and just wanted to share. Figured we could discuss a player rarely mentioned.

Troy McKinley was UK’s victory cigar. Hoping he is doing well after his time at UK.

Big guy from Independence I think? 6-6 looked athletic. Surprised he didn’t put up more.

 

[CELTICAT]

I don’t have an opinion on Troy, but damn that’s a nice looking uniform

 

[SosaUK87]

Damn you got a lot of guns @Gromcat. What all you got? I got a 9 and a AR.

 

[Gromcat]

Also can we just go back to the retro UK ASICS jersey?

Think he led Simon Kenton to the Ky. State championship around 1981. Tremendous long range shooter.

Is that an M1 Carbine?

Gotta be ready for battle when you drive on 240 in M-town

Have too many to name honestly. Glocks AR’s different stuff. I drive a Corolla and buy guns. Right now going heavy in surplus rifles. They’re about to be tough to get CMP running out of Garands and prices are getting crazy. Just got in a very nice Arasaka T/99 yesterday. All original and complete (except for dust cover) with mum and anti-aircraft sights. Has the old original Japanese family tag of the soldier who carried it. attached too. Hard to believe the Japanese thought you could shoot at planes with a rifle.

probably should have put the jersey on the floor.

 

[Uncle Adolph]

Where is Troy now ?

looks like a mosin

Very nice looking jersey!

Very nice looking jersey!

Wish Nike would cut it out and go back to UK. ID Take this all day. Sometime between 80-83.

Corolla's are the shit just saying 🤣

 

[Gromcat]

1941 M1 Garand.

my friends laughed for years at my corollas. I pass’m now riding on 5 bucks in the tank. How ya like me now?

 

[phyrekat]

looks like a mosin

The second one from the top?

 

[RunninRichie]

The second one from the top?

that’s definitely a carbine or a repeater

 

[phyrekat]

1941 M1 Garand.

Cool. Looked like a shorter barrel. I'm still kicking myself for not snatching up a few carbines when they were about $100 each. I didn't want to have to add another caliber to the ammo fort

 

[Gromcat]

Depends on what you’re looking at. Far left is an year 1893 Mosin, next in line I believe is a 1923 91/30 Mosin dragoon. I think phy is talking about the 41 Garand.

yea you guys should have been buying those things by the truck load. I’m too young to have been able to pay that. Still can’t believe these war relics went so cheep. I know there were plenty but still.

I'm just happy that I was able to load up on that .50/round .30-06. Even got a few cans of the Berdan-primed steel core WWII vintage.

those are some nice cans. Looking to sell? Jersey trade?

 

[Kybluedude]

Troy was a shooter! I took the Empire Builder to Seattle for the 1984 Final Four.

UK could not make a shot vs Gtown and I kept thinking/ wishing for Joe to call time out and let Troy get a chance to fire a couple up. Try something different.

I believe Troy was in law enforcement and retired and is a teacher. . He had a legendary Sweet 16. Cinderella story run by little Simon Kenton. A Ky Hoosiers.

I own one and my 2 daughters each own one so we love our Corolla's too lol! I'd never own anything bigger with the way gas goes up and down so damn much!

Nope.

 

[jedwar]

That is a great uniform design. Better than the bad design the last decade plus except for 2014 year.

Looks to me more like you're saying "You might want to think twice if you try to steal my Troy McKinley Jersey" LOL.
Just kidding, Congrats on the move. You heading to the friendly confines of Florida? If so I envy you. If something ever happened with my job, I'd be down there in a heartbeat. Will be in Clearwater next week for vacation visiting my Brother-in-Law.

 

[Askew2boston]

“Excuse the guns” and then proceed to discuss every one pictured LMAO. Nice jersey though.

Every single time he shot it, I thought it was going in.

Probably my all time favorite UK player who didn't get much run on the court.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Can’t have too many shooters!

Next time I want to talk about, or brag about, my collection of music I’m going to place a UK Jersey on my mountain of CDs and post a pic.

Actually moving near Gulfport around Bay St. Louis, but I’ll be close to Gulf Shores and not far at all from Destin. With New Orleans 50 miles west on top of it, I’m as excited as can be honestly. Taking forever because of my properties but trying to wrap it up this year.

I have no room with all of my sht all over the place. It was either that table or the floor.

Troy used to go to Southern Acres back when it was a real normal church. Not a lot of 6'6-6'7 guys. He was a police officer at the time. Pulled me over when I was 16 or 17 and seeing that frame walk up is just terrifying. He started laughing, let me off and told me that he was gonna call my parents.

I didn’t realize people would be more interested in the guns I probably should have. When you own a lot of them it’s not a huge deal after time.

Cool story. Nice to hear about the older players living normal lives. Just so happened to play basketball at Kentucky.
