Texas Western- Kentucky

[gnofg]

How amny remember Texas Western beating Kentucky in '66. The game that changed college basketball. To this day Pat Riley said that was his hardest defeat. It was sweet

1. I was a senior in High School..in Kentucky. and I LOVED IT

Adolph Rupp, the racist arrogant legendary coach at UK had said that UK would integrate its teams over his dead body.

UK was I think the last SEC team to integrate.

But I loved it when Texas Western (now known as UTEP) won that game.

I am not a fan of the Blue and White, never have been.

The only time I can even get remotely interested in a Div I championship for UK is if Kentucky Wesleyan has just won the Div II, and UK is still in the running. I can then think it could be OK if both championships were in the same state in the same year. Even then, I would prefer the Div I to be won by Louisville.

Let's keep that tradition alive

3. Since you are now in Texas, I suggest you concentrate on

Texas basketball and let us Kentucky fans alone. If you don.t like UK, fine. Just don't gloat when we lose. In the first place we now have a black coach so your jeering remarks about Rupp are over the hill. Secondly UK has some very outstanding young men who work very hard every day to try to be a top team. With Tubby UK basketball is a team sport.
