Rupp Arena might give you a clue if you looked at the pic.
Well good thing it's not at IU. About 10 people died that faithful evening in Bloomington at the game. This game has been known for over a year now. I knew when it was announced that both Calipari and Woodson wouldnt be at either school.
That poor playboy playmate who got trampled to death in the melee is likely the saddest story in the history of sports anywhere.
My apologies. I thought it was new info. I guess zi should have known better because of the timing.
You knew Cal would be gone? I hoped but certainly didn’t know a year ago.
A UK fan who was an ex-stripper fell to her knees after the Wat shot and accused the crowd of abusing her. Someone should have thrown her a dollar bill ..
I remember a story about the twin blondes that were in Wrigleys Doublemint Gum commercials in the 80’s. There was a fire alarm late at night at the UK men’s athletic dorm and apparently the twins stumbled out of the dorm not fully attired. Big news in the 80’s.

Here is a recap of the horrors of that game per KY and PU posters and Cal's uncontrolled sobbing....
Appartently of the 35 KY fans in attendance:
37 were pushed down the stairs
17 were set on fire and thrown to their death from the balcony
368 were knocked down by the kids that stormed the court
130 were pushed down the stairs then trampled
4,987 were sworn at
1,764 were spat on
9,457 had beers (that were not yet sold in TAH) poured over their heads
1 team stripper got a titty twister
Then the game started.
Kentucky fans are the most insecure people you’ll ever meet..
The amazing this is all of the 17 who were set on fire also had their couches set on fire too. Who brings a couch to a basketball game?
Why would you say that? You know how insecure I am about my insecurity.
I was there and somehow missed all this, but apparently it was a horrific blood-soaked scene
Well I give you credit for not participating. That mob mentality can be very alluring for even good people.
You guys should read Lord of the Flies. It was probabably something like that. They weren’t bad kids per se.
Kentucky fans are cool most of the time. They just have a larger percentage of less educated people who are not used to niceties. And I'm sure even that subset is civil enough unless they're feudin' with you .
I lol’d at titty twister,took me back to my middle school days.
I was just joking around.
I thought that was clear when I said I thought even the subset was civil.
I personally know of 2 people who received titty twisters. One was a friend of my cousin.

Rupp is in a strip mall so I think there is running water at the adjacent Dollar Tree.
I remember going to the state tournament every year as a kid and staying at the connected Hyatt and running around th Galleria (mall) all night with friends and going to the games all day in Rupp. Awesome times.
