    Keion Brooks asking to change Rupp

    I can prove otherwise, but I doubt if Hoosier fans want me to post a treatise on Adolph Rupp on your site. Or if you choose, I can post a (necessarily) long video. When Kentucky played Texas Western in that infamous 1966 title game, neither the SEC nor ACC had ever had an African-American...

    Keion Brooks asking to change Rupp

    Following is the quote by Keion: "Being honest, I haven't educated myself well enough on Adolph Rupp or just the whole situation at hand to really give you my thoughts on it," said Brooks, who is also a member of the SEC Council on Racial Equality and Social Justice. "From what I do know, I...

    University of Kentucky Basketball Team-Really??

    You are correct. I made a similar thread about this subject recently on the Kentucky board. Kentucky used to produce several great players: NBA all-stars, MVP's, Hall of Famers. Not any more. I can post the list or copy the actual post here. But I do not want to interfere with the...

    "Coach Knight" (actor)...RIP

    I was looking forward to "Season on the Brink." I didn't think it was well done. I wanted to see more of what made RMK a great coach and the explosiveness. But rather they just made him out to be a grumpy old turd.

    No, they didn't. They played that game in Louisville for the benefit of all the UK fans in Louisville.

    Ia Adolph Rupp burning in hell....

    It was so bad then that in 1963, Mississippi State won the SEC championship but refused to participate in the NCAA tournament. The unwritten law in Mississippi back then was Mississippi athletic teams were not to play against integrated teams. That meant Babe McCarthy’s best team ever — Bailey...

    Ia Adolph Rupp burning in hell....

    In 1966, the year of "Glory Road" Kentucky beat Duke in the Final Four. Neither Duke nor Saint Dean Smith at North Carolina had ever had an African-American scholarship player. At that time in the Deep South (e.g. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, et al), black players would not have been...

    Ia Adolph Rupp burning in hell....

    Wall2Boogie's auto-correct feature apparently overwhelmed him. I am guessing that in part of his post, he posted: "Rupp tried to recruit guys like unselfish and Ralph beard" I am confident that he/she meant: "Rupp tried to recruit Wes Unseld and Butch Beard." (Unseld, who would become an...

    Glass still optimistic about IU-Kentucky series revival

    Calipari prefers to play games on neutral courts because post-season games are played on neutral courts -- typically big arenas. I enjoyed when the Indiana - Kentucky games were played on neutral courts (Indianapolis and Louisville). I enjoyed seeing the camera pan over the "50-yard line"...

    Glass still optimistic about IU-Kentucky series revival

    Why do you refer to Calipari as "Chicken John"? It's clear (to the unbiased) that UK plays a challenging schedule every year. From the article linked above: Last June, when asked what it would take to revive the Indiana-Kentucky series, Calipari said it would be difficult based on the number...
