[Hoot Gibson]

Growing up UK  basketball was extremely important to me. I watched every game I could. The 92 team was the peak of my fandom.  Once I got married and started having kids UK basketball became less important to me. As my kids got older and my life got busier, watching UK became less of a priority.  When Calipari was hired in 2009 started falling out of love with UK. I  absolutely did not want Calipari to come to Kentucky (my dislike for Calipari goes back to his days at UMASS). The Providence game was the first game this season that watched more than a couple of minutes this year. Many times I never knew they had a game until someone posted it on Facebook.  Maybe this will change when Calipari leaves Kentucky.

This exactly how I feel about UK basketball. I remember listening to UK games as a little boy with my dad on WHAS when we lived near Columbus, Ohio. I have fond memories of listening to games featuring Issel, Pratt, Parker, Jimmy Dan Conner, and many others. UK basketball just isn't what it used to be.
