Favorite Starting Five

[teamchemistry15]

I was only being half serious, but seems like there were some disputes, such as the time I very obviously to anyone with eyeballs and a working memory of UK history had what was easily the best team and should’ve been the clear winner without any argument.

Just stuff like that.

But jokes aside, if you want to do it, I’m game. I’m sure we’d have more than enough to get it going. We can nail down the particulars later.

I didn't realize it was that personal for you. Message me your address and I'll send you the trophy.

We would either have to cap it at 10-12 teams or go more teams and only draft six players. I don't remember how many players we drafted.

Reminds me of a good Rick and Morty line: "Your medal's in the mail."

Yeah, I can't remember much about our process, either, but even at six players the squads would start getting thin pretty quickly if we had more than 12 teams.

Would two groups of 10 or 12 work? They'd run their own thing, then there could be a winner's bracket out of the two? Just spit ballin'.

Same! I changed mine multiple times. I oddly found it very hard to not put in Jarrod Polson. I don't know why, but I loved that guy when he played for us.

I understand that completely. My favorite all time wildcat is Patrick Sparks, not a popular name but I absolutely loved him. I also loved Tayshaun Prince, Delk and Mashburn an awful lot. If I was asked this same question tomorrow, I’d have a different answer.. 😂

Not really on topic, but adjacent anyway. A friend gave this to me and I finally got around to hanging it on the wall today. This first seven accomplished a helluva lot. Thought it was appropriate for this thread.

Two groups of eight with seven players? I think we could easily come up with that many quality players in our history.

Randomly set the match ups for each group for one round, getting it down to eight. Then, randomly set those match ups to get it down to four, then two.

If we go ten or 12 teams we would have to figure out who gets a bye.

Put me down for any all-time fantasy draft... I'm game for it.

Very nice!

I had this exact same photo from back in the day when I was a little kid. If memory serves me correctly they gave (or you had to buy) these out when the Wildcats used to "tour the state" and play like a blue-white scrimmage game. I got one when they came to Owensboro and played the SportsCenter. Again, my memory could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember.

PG - Brandon Knight/Anthony Epps
SG - Derek Anderson/Tony Delk

Try putting together a team that could compete against that monster! LOL.
