UK v WKU FB:
in 3 months,12 days,20 hours,14 minutes
This vibrant tribute to the 2012 NCAA men's basketball champions provides a visual feast for fans who want to relive the Kentucky Wildcats' road to championship glory. It features an introduction and several articles by Larry Vaught, a Kentucky sports institution and six-time recipient of Kentucky's National Sportswriter of the Year title. This celebratory book takes readers from the season's opening tip in November, through the exciting regular season and SEC Tournament, and on to the final seconds in New Orleans. Also included are features on the team's key figures, including head coach John Calipari.
Watch the :05-:07 second mark. He swipes Teague in the back of his head with a cheap punch causing Marquis to fall down and he gets a wide-open shot. Everyone missed it last night, even me, until today. The SEC needs to be aware of this!
I am so tired of seeing all these Duke highlights of beating UK. Does anyone at CBS or ESPN remember who we beat to get one of our NCAA Titles? UK 94 Duke 88. Show that in your highlights. (Duke is 0-1 vs. UK in Championship games.)
Hey Larry, hopefully in the near future you can get a interview with Jamal Adams. I’m sure you saw that George’s son got an scholarship offer from UK. We need to know all about this young man. GBB!!!
Larry – thanks for the stories re: Fran Curci. Brings back fond memories of great teams. Even with the ineligibility/recruiting issues, Curci still was a great coach. Some of the players he brought in were some of the best in UK history, they played well together as a team, and were fun to watch.
Larry what has happened to WLAP 630? I live in Murfreesboro, TN and count on being able to listen to the Cats on WLAP on line. The station no longer works.
Great Article and yes it is with sadness Joker needs to be replaced. the fault ifs twofold. Barnhart won’t spend the money to bring in top assistants and joker picked some really bad ones. the only good one he had was Tee Martin and he left for USC. can’t say i blame him.. Petrino is the most logical choice but I don’t think barnhart will spend the money to bring him here. He would LOVE to stick it to Louisville every year and I can’t believe Arkansas let him go , I wouldn’t have dats fo sho…lol that should have been between him and his wife, not him his wife and his employer. so he put that girl on payroll. so what. did she do her job? if she did it don’t matter. Barnhart put his daughter on the payroll too. sh what. did she do her job ? if she did it don’t matter, also he is such a genius he can make ordinary players extra ordinary. he takes average talent and turns them into a top 20 team. great site keep writing such great articles.

I am leaving this here bc it said invalid address when i tried to email you
at the end of the day it’s Mitch Barnharts fault anyway. Each year he gets 18.5 million from the SEC for the football program that he promptly funnels into the basket ball program. I am not sure this is legal and I know it’s immoral. He feels like his job is safe as long as we win in basketball. The sad truth is he may be right but at the end of the day it is because he will not spend the money on football he needs to. he will not pay top assistants to come here. so if we get rid of anybody lets get rid of Mitch he can only manage one big program at a time,, it’s not his fault however this is all his intellect can deal with. Trying to run two revenue producing programs is beyond his mental capacity but at the end of the day it’s because of Mitch and no one else.
LARRY..WHAT ARE YOU HEARING AS FAR AS MARK STOOPS NEW COACHING STAFF IS CONCERNED..ANY CHANCE THAT NEAL BROWN WILL JUMP ON BOARD?…WHAT ABOUT TIM COUCH?..THE GUY KNOWS THE QB POSITION..AS I REMEMBER HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST QB”S WE EVER HAD AT UK…DO YOU SEE MARK STOOPS LOOKING IN HIS DIRECTION AT ALL AS FAR AS A OFFENSIVE MIND FOR HIS STAFF?
