The Original Dream Game -- Need a Little Help
Guys,
I was at the original Dream Game, and I'm putting together some pics, videos, memorabilia, etc. for an article I'm writing.
If you've got something you're willing to share--please post it or let me know.
Also, for those few, like me, who were actually part of the maybe 7000 U of L fans that got into that crackerbox of an arena
if you want to share some memories...i'm all ears (because my memory is fading fast!)
Thanks,
Frank

I am so glad..
you are doing that Frank. That was the ONLY Dream Game as far as I’m concerned. It rankles me when anyone refers to any recent game between U of L and UK as a dream game. The circumstances and the 25 year span between the contests made it the REAL Dream Game. It will be nice to relive that. It was sweet.

I was there as a 14 year old
sitting up in the corner behind the UofL bench. We were very lucky to squeek out a win and avoid overtimet on Scooters tip-in at the buzzer against Sutton’s Arkansas team (they had knocked us out 2 of the previous 4 tourney’s). They had Alvin Robertson, Darrell Walker, & Joe Kliene, all longtime NBA players. Against uk I seem to remenber we had a tough time stopping Turpin. After being down about 2/3 of the game, we grabbed a lead. Of course, everyone knows Master hit the shot to send it to OT before we blew it out.
I also remember as we walked in about 30 minutes before tip, scalpers outside the arena suprisingly had alot of tickets still to get rid of. And as the original post says, it was a very strange old arena with small balconies over each end zone

what on earth is Kragthorpe doing....
to these guys….Kragthorpe – you remember him don’t you. Tall guy, stupid looking goatee, big belly, expression like a deer in the headlights??? This is really freakin’ me out. Why would a kid with all that talent (enough to be heavily recruited by so many premium schools) just quit football. I don’t get it.
