The man was a class act. I certainly won't make light of his match-ups with the Pitino led Cats, in a negative tone after the man passes away. I actually respected the man and the way he represented his team and his school during his match-ups when the Cats and Utes had a few year rivalry. He took a lot of kids who no one wanted at the big schools and turned them into extremely talented teams. He battled his weight for as long as we ever saw him, which ultimately broke down his body. May he rest in peace.

Y'know Stardust I went back and read some more about Majerus to try and find some quotes that I remember him making about the UK games. One really stood out. When asked in 1999 about how his seasons kept ending with losses to UK in the NCAA tournament (Majerus finished his career 0-6 against UK under Pitino and Tubby--5 of those losses came in the tourney) this is how Majerus responded:

"When I die they may as well bury me at the finish line at Churchill Downs so they can run over me one more time..."

Now, do you think he'd take my post all that serious? I really liked the guy too..especially his sense of humor.
