The name keeps escaping me. What was the name of the player that transferred to Florida State after leaving KY in that era. I had a Psychology class with him.

It was Irving Thomas. I had to look him up. I ran into him a couple of years later he was traveling with the Ball team and we flew with them to Florida. Back when Fla St. was playing againt UL in the metro conference!

He worked in the athletic department for a couple of years and did odd jobs for them at all the home games and got to watch the games courtside.

It doesn't hurt to get your foot in the door at a Program like KY. Even if it is just assisting the equipment manager

My grandson has been fortunate and will be working in Cincinnati for a company named Deloitte and then goes back to Kentucky to finish his final semester next year. He is majoring in accounting and Deloitte I understand is a world wide Company.

Kentucky is great with all their students and the advice and help he has received has been fantastic. I get to pick him up tonight in Orlando airport and spend some time with him and his twin brother. Life is good!

Way to raise them up right. I had a Salvation Army bell Ringer ask me today if my entire family were KY fans. I said, no other color belongs in my house!
My future son in law is a Georgia fan. He doesn't even care for basketball!

I guess it's only in Kentucky that basketball is king. Living down here in Florida football is all they talk about. It's funny because their basketball gym only holds around 12,000 fans and they rarely fill it. When I first moved down here we always got tickets to the Kentucky game and we had more fans there than they did, that's a fact. Now however they have changed the rules that makes it harder for UK fans to get tickets.
