Not saying you’re wrong but they are in a good bracket for them and they certainly have the talent.
That’s what we did. Even when we could actually get the game on TV (we had an antenna on the ridge). Continued to do that when mom and dad bought a satellite. That was like 82 or 83. Talk about culture shock. Went from usually no TV to 100s of channels. It was one of the big satellites not the small dish stuff.
Oh I know the dishes u speak of. Great livestock watering trough laid down lol
It was unreal. I remember that the remote was a metal box that had a long cord attached. On a basketball related note, I was watching a UK game on ESPN and John Pelphrey was playing. I went to high school with him at Paintsville High School. In those days, satellite had no commercials, so when there was a break, you could still see the arena and hear the announcers talking. Dick Vitale was talking about the high school rivalry between Paintsville and Johnson Central. I thought that was pretty cool.
They were big, like something you would see at NASA or in an old James Bond movie.
I can’t remember if they played against each other in the Sweet 16 or not. I’d have to look it up. It’s about 2 hours from Paintsville to Maysville.
I’ve got a wild Maysville story when I drove across the entire state from Mayfield to Maysville to deliver a part to a big electric plant there 30 years ago when I have time to type a few paragraphs. Let’s just say we stopped off at a bar downtown on way back that looked fairly empty, we didn’t see all of the Harley’s out back lol.
