Sure, and I can name a bunch of players on the New Orleans Saintsā€™ first division-winning team, but I donā€™t know that it would make a good trivia question for anyone else.

I actually did remember one name from that team, but he was not a senior that year, only a freshman. Aminu Timberlake

20. I want to say Eddie Van Halen, just because he died recently. I actually have no idea. Sounds like something Hendrix might do but I donā€™t recognize the album name.

Oh I agree. (stupid Laettner stomping on Aminu) (But if you were going to come up with one UK player from that team, Aminu wouldnā€™t have been what I expected, would have been the NBA all-star junior). Hey Iā€™m not writing these questions. Just copy and pasting from local trivia guy. Iā€™ll write more about the unforgettables tomorrow. There is an interesting politics thread to them.

(and yes thought about you when I saw Q2 :) )

Iā€™m sure there were good players Iā€™m just not remembering when they were at Kentucky-- is the guy you just mentioned the one who went #3 in the draft the next year?

And yeah I donā€™t know why I remember certain things sometimes-- Timberlakeā€™s name just popped into my head when I thought about that game and that moment in time, lol.

Ramble about The Unforgettablesā€¦

So the four of them were freshman when Sutton got in trouble and UK was put on probation. UK was banned from postseason play for the 1990 and 1991 seasons, but they stayed with the team. Thus helping UK come out of probation and start the Pitino era. So the 92 season was their senior season, and they get to play in the tournament for the first time in their careersā€¦just to lose like that. They were so loved and UK was crushed that they lost, that they instantly hung their jerseys in the banners, even though stats for any of them donā€™t call for it. Anthony Davis is still waiting for his jersey to be hung (will happen, these things usually take time). Also doesnā€™t hurt that 3 of them were white boys from KY.

Woods and Pelphrey went on coaching. Pelphrey most notably with Arkansas. Richie Farmer is the most interesting story though. Dude was being groomed for the governor spot. He was the agriculture commissioner from 2004-2012. He was the LT governor nominee in a failed run against Beshear Sr. But really that run was just to groom him to run after Beshear Sr. was done. Oh and you better believe The Unforgettables were being used in commercials all the time. I am convinced he would currently be in his second term as governor right now, except he was completely corrupt. Standard jobs and favors for friends and family. Ended up spending 20 months in prison and had to file for bankruptcy.

How fucking corrupt of a politician to you have to be to serve jail time in Kentucky when you are a basketball legend??

(and yes Jamal Mashburn was the actual star of the team, he has his jersey hanging in the rafters as well)
