Rupp is Loud, The Training Room is Louder By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - I know it's tempting. Kentucky wins a game, Rupp gets loud, social media starts cooking up March pathways, and suddenly we're acting like this roster is exactly what it was supposed to be back in October. Newsflash, It's not. It's not even close. This team is injured. Not "day-to-day banged up." Actually injured. Rotations are razor thin. Minutes are exceedingly heavy. Practice reps are obviously limited. Other guys are playing through things they normally wouldn't until February desperation time.

Remembering the snow storm of 1977 By Phyllis Curry I have seen several posts today about the winter of 1977 and people walking on the Ohio River. I can recall January 24, 1977 very vividly. It was my 25th birthday and I was scheduled for a C-section that morning in Somerset. I was to be admitted Sunday afternoon. It was spitting snow as we drove to the hospital. By Monday morning, there was lots of snow. My parents loaded their pickup truck with wood and made their way to the hospital. This was before the days of finding out the gender of the baby before it was born. Thankfully, we did have disposable diapers in 1977.

European Snow Skiing with Harry Beard By Doug Beard Every winter season when we have our first snowfall, I reflect on the passion that my father (Harry Beard) had for snow skiing. He skied throughout Europe in the 1940's and 1950's including the Olympic sites in Innsbruck, Austria; Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany; and Lillehammer, Norway. While skiing in Lillehammer one winter season, he finished 2nd place in the downhill slalom competition. I treasure the stories of his adventures on the slopes and his ski jacket is proudly displayed in my office. 2026-01-24 17:09:13 | Comments | Printable version
