Were you crushed when the Dominicans, although led by Coach Cal, dismantled our heroes in blue in 2 consecutive games, and putting the final nail in the coffin of an 'all UK alum' NBA team dominating the league? Remember that Judas Ricky P. tried it once.
Did you want to see those guys suit up again and redeem the former glory that we held them to?
Well, if you fall into those categories, you are in luck.
It seems as if the NBA Lockout has given us another gift in the form of former players coming back to the Commonwealth.
The Kentucky Pros, who will have some new members suiting up along with some of the originals, have been slated to go on a tour of Kentucky, playing in the month of October 5 different times, against The University of Pikeville (defending NAIA National Champions), Alice Lloyd, Georgetown College, Union College, and Mid-Continent University(coached by Cat great Winston Bennett).
Rondo, Meeks, Bledsoe(Gettin' shit right), Knight, Jorts and Liggins have all committed to the games/tour. Wall, Hayes, and Bogans have all expressed an interest in playing in the games, but have not finalized plans to do so as of yet.
And, then we have the potential main event. To a Kentucky fan, you might as well be combining Starrcade with Big Blue Madness, mixed in with a list of people you would want to sniper-riffle into the here-after, adding a touch of March Madness, and give away free funnel cakes... The Pros are going to battle a collective of UK Villains. In Rupp.
A date has not been set for such a game yet, but organizers have gotten commitments from Rondo, Nazr, Tay Daddy, Chucky Ballgame, Meeks, Liggins, Jorts, Bledsoe, Black Kool-Aid himself Patrick Patterson, and Azubuike.
The short list of the team who will be playing the role of bad guys and targets for various swear words and projectiles include Kemba Walker, Rudy Gay, Tyler Hansbrough, Nolan Smith, Eric Gordon, Terrence Williams, Joakim Noah, Kenneth Faried and Shelvin Mack.
I say, they up the stakes here, and we get Timberlake and Laetner in a steel cage. Also, let's put Wojo, with his manager Billy Packer, against Magloire.
I for one find this news to be very intriguing, and would more than likely pay to see such contests. the only thing missing is a 8 year old girl kicking Dwayne Wade in the sack, and Joe B. Hall getting a free shot at Bobby Knight.
