Anyone an "old" fan of u.kentucky basketball ?
Are there many die-hard Kentucky Basketball fans still out there that remember the "golden-years" when you had star basketball players playing for UK that were "actually" , born Kentuckians ?
Well,I was one ,but not anymore .
It's just not that interesting when you have "star" players coming from all over the nation representing Kentucky Basketball ?
And this year's team will probably win a ton of games,but do the old-diehard fan's have the same proudful feelings when an out of state player,or players, are consistently dominating their wins ?
No more catchy Kentucky names like Cliff Hagan,Jack Givens,Wah Wah Jones,Frank Ramsey,Dicky Lyons,Johnny Cox,Ralph Beard are around ?
Now it's names like DeMarcus Cousins, DeAndre Liggins,big stars,guy's born in some other foreign region of the USA ,putting on that Ol' Traditional, Kentucky Blue and White .
It's like KENTUCKY is buying a National Championship ,right ?
Okay,I'll let the young Kentucy fans enjoy their "bought" season, and like their "Golden Basketball Tradition" ,I will have to fade away like the long-gone fan's of,now ghosts, " Rupp's Runts", and "The Fiddlin Five " !
