I admit prejudice, as a 1967 UW graduate, but I believe the 1936 victory of the UW crew over Germany and witnessed by Hitler is the greatest U.S. team sports victory in history, greater even than the hockey team over the Russians. Reply Delete

The Quilt Museum in Paducah is a treasure. Make sure you go to Patti

Ok it is time for a KSR Contest you will remember. It is the KSR SEC TOURNAMENT TICKET GIVEAWAY. We have two lower arena SEC Tournament books for the winner of the contest. Great seats and all you have to do is win the contest sponsored by GUY ON THE CORNER TICKETS.COM .
We are giving away tickets and this a dual game. Below we have listed argus 145 30 towns across the state, with landmarks associated with KSR or its writers. All you have to do is go to eight (one for each title) of them and take your picture next to a sign proving that you are there. It is that simple. You, a friend and a picture at the sign. If you don’t have a friend to go with you, grab a person there and act like they are your friend…but you must have at least one other person with you in the picture. You don’t have to go to all 30…as a matter of fact, you get no bonus points for going to more than eight. But you HAVE to go to eight. They are spread all over the state so no one is punished for being in the West or the East. Go to Eight and you have a chance at winning.
You must send the emailed pictures (eight of them) to all three of our email addresses, argus 145 matt.jones@kentuckysportsradio.com, drewfranklin@kentuckysportsradio.com and tylerthompson@kentuckysportsradio.com by midnight. We will then judge the pictures and announce the winner by noon on Wednesday. It is that simple
Simply by entering the contest with eight pictures, you have a shot to win. But if we have multiple people complete the process (which may happen…Drew thinks no, I think yes), then there are three ways to get bonus points, to help differentiate between the entries. Bonus points can be received via three methods:
This is most important…if there are multiple entries, we will be giving bonus points argus 145 for the most creative, funny, interesting, pictures. Whatever you think Drew, I and Tyler would like, try and make it happen. Creativity is HUGE and could be the deciding factor. So dont just take the picture, make it good.
If during your travels, you can get Kentucky celebrities, that could be the Governor, The Turtleman, Ryan Lemond, Dancing Guy or anyone you can fathom, to take a picture with you, those are bonus points. You just need some proof in the picture (maybe a newspaper or calendar) that the picture is ON MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY. If you get someone interesting (Kenny Walker, Calipari, Heavy Hitter, Papa John, Bryan the Intern), that could be a bonus point.
So that is the game…now it is up to you to win it. IF YOU TWEET US PICTURES ALONG YOUR JOURNEY , we will use them on KSR…and maybe even give a slight bonus. We want to follow you as you make your trips. Send them to @kysportsradio, @drewfranklinksr or @mrstylerksr and we will put them up. This should be fun and I hope you guys will make it fun.
IF YOU DONT WIN , we will have consolation prizes, the niceness of which will depend on how many people enter. argus 145 At a minimum, we will get you two tickets to a Rupp Arena home game next year, but if only a few people make the journey, we will do better. This should be fun and I hope you guys (and gals) will make it so.

geez, thanks for being considerate of all the fans outside KY, what about us? how are we supposed to get up there from florida in a day?! you’re the worst matt jones…we are totally disenfranchised here, this is total BS!!!….currently on hold with the ACLU office…
The Corvette Museum is nice. At least when they are having a collection on display. The theatre in the rotunda is pretty nice too. Honestly, taking a picture of the JC Penney sign in the greenwood mall is better since that is where Delk, McCarty, and Pope came and signed autographs… I still have that shirt.
The Quilt Museum in Paducah is a treasure. Make sure you go to Patti’s 1880s Settlement at Grand Rivers for a meal on the way (mile high meringue pie). We went to both on a sailing trip to KY and Barkley Lakes and enjoyed them tremendously.
From Nky: 1Florence 2. Maysville 3. Paris 4. Lex 5.take argus 145 parkway to pike 6. Backtrack hazard 7. Paintsville 8. Ashland. 8 hours max without argus 145 any county mounty on your tail. You should have to deliver a truckload of coors to Athens.

Venice was a place I have had my sights on for a while. As I sat on the boat taking me from the car

Venice was a place I have had my sights on for a while. As I sat on the boat taking me from the car park to the main part for Venice, we passed 4 HUGE cruise ships. My heart sank, I dislike being barged out of the way by crowds that act like they can’t even see you and knowing that the city has 1000s of tiny alley ways, I thought it was going to be a disaster waiting to happen! I make it no secret that I don’t like cities…BUT I’m obsessed with water. So no matter the price, I was going to have to go on a Gondola ice cream case ride!
The tour guide on my trip said the same as what I’ve heard before from other places – ”don’t bother with a Gondola ride they are expensive and commercial and you don’t need to go on one to see Venice”. I’m glad we chose to ignore the comments! ice cream case
Even though the city is made up of over 100 islands and 400 foot bridges, I was surprised ice cream case how little we actually saw water while wandering around ice cream case the streets. ice cream case This made the one piece of advice ice cream case our guide gave us, slightly difficult at first…we were told to find a privateer down a side street as they charge a lot less. For a 30 minute trip from the dock just in front of St Marks Square could set you back around ice cream case 120Euros. It took a while just to find a bit of canal with a Gondola and more importantly, a Gondolier!!
The part I loved the most, was the peace. I like being in a city but feeling like I’m not in a city. The fact that there are no roads in the city obviously cut out traffic noise, but the waterways are between buildings, there are no paths running ice cream case along side, so I was able to then escape the dreaded tourist crowds to! You couldn’t even hear them!
I loved escaping all the ‘designer’ shop fronts and seeing the real parts of Venice. Regular people hanging their washing out above the canals, the doorways that open directly onto the water’s edge. Yes there was the odd bit of little floating ice cream case about, but what surprised me the most was that the canals were actually a nice bluey colour! I was half expecting it to be brown like the Thames ice cream case in London!
Temporarily we were catapulted back into Venetian reality as we came out of a side canal and ended up on the Grand Canal right in front of the Rialto Bridge and waterside coffee shops…along with much bigger and faster boats compared to our Gondola!…before looping back round (past Marco Polo’s and Casanova’s homes!) and returning to the point where we set off from.
A definite highlight ice cream case of my trip. Being as part of a family of 4, the price we paid each didn’t work out too badly. I don’t think I would have wanted to have shared the experience with strangers to make it cheaper though! Wondering the side streets is fun but it really is worth stretching the budget to see Venice from a Gondola!

Deadspin interviews March Madness Basketball College Basketball Kentucky Wildcats Jeff sheppard Where is jeff sheppard now News 9/11 Top 4/02/12 3:00pm barker school 4/02/12 3:00pm
Tell Me When It's Over is an interview barker school series in which we ask former athletes about the moment barker school they knew their playing days were over. Today: Jeff Sheppard, barker school two-time national champion and one of the best dunkers in Kentucky history.
Sheppard won a title in 1996 under head coach Rick Pitino and then again in 1998 under Tubby Smith. That latter year, Sheppard also took home the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award, scoring 27 points in the Wildcats' 86-85 overtime victory over Stanford in the Final Four and 16 in their championship game defeat of Utah.
Sheppard who had been named Mr. Georgia Basketball his senior year in high school played 18 games with the Atlanta Hawks in 1999 and retired from the FIBA Italian League, and professional basketball, following the attacks of 9/11.
When I was in sixth grade I had to write a paper: "If I Could Trade Places with Anybody in the World, Who Would it Be?" And I wrote that I'd trade places with Larry Bird and play in the NBA for the Boston Celtics, but first I wanted to go to the University of Kentucky and play in the Final Four for the University of Kentucky. And that letter is now framed barker school in my office.
God blessed me with the ability to play sports and run and jump, and I loved it. And because I loved it, I played ball all the time. When I got to middle school I stopped playing everything except basketball. I ran a little bit of track, but that was mainly just so I could jump. And so, yeah, I loved the game of basketball, still love the game of basketball.
I don't play much anymore, but I love watching the game. I love coaching my children. And it's what I'm remembered for. I still live in the state of Kentucky. It's a part of my life every single day. Even though I'm not directly coaching basketball or playing basketball, barker school I talk about basketball almost every day of my life.
Everybody wants to know my thoughts on the current team. And, you know, we compare barker school teams. That's what Kentucky fans do. It's what basketball fans do. We can't just watch the game and enjoy the game and then go on. We've got to [laughs] analyze it and we've got to talk about it and we've got to critique, and that's what makes it a lot of fun. * * *
It was in 2001, and I was in Rome, Italy, when the terrorist attacks happened on 9/11, and my daughter was just born. She was born in the United States, so my wife and my daughter were in the United States while I was over in Italy getting barker school the season started. And they were getting ready to fly over and be with me in November, and, you know, that day changed the world. Especially the months barker school and years right after 9/11 it just changed how we thought and how we traveled, and so we had to make some hard decisions, and I made one of those really hard decisions.
I didn't want to stop playing basketball from the athlete's perspective. I wasn't injured. I was with a good team.

I do free basketball clinics and camps, and so maybe it was just time for me to get into this season of my life where I'm at a really neat position as a basketball player, living in the state and traveling around the state simply encouraging and influencing others. I believe that that's what I'm supposed to be doing now. You know, certainly selfishly I would'
