    Your 1st remembrance of a wildcat player

    Mine was Wah Wah Jones in Basketball. HE was from Harlan as I was also.

    In football, it was Babe Parilli. He and a couple of UK coaches visited our high school the year before his senior season.

    My first was the 1958 championship game and, for some reason, Billy Ray Lickert stood out to me.

            Remember watching Macy wipe his hands on his socks.

            But what really got me excited about Kentucky Basketball was the Twin Towers. Watching Bowie and Skywalker hooked me on Kentucky.

                The first year I watched was 1985-1986. So, I guess my first rememberences were probably Kenny Walker and Ed Davender, James Blackmon, etc.

                          Ive always thought if a healthy casey had played his senior year with issel and pratt they would have won it all.
