A very blue day indeed for Big Blue Nation   You know, I remember years ago I was listening to one of Joe's interviews on YouTube and my wife (I kid you not!) thought he was a preacher man!    I said this before a few years ago but they ought to rename Rupp Arena to Rupp Hall as a tribute to both of our legendary coaches.

As that Curtis Blow/Lil Bow Wow "Basketball" song would say, tell me were you in the joint, the night the Goose scored 41 points?  

So long, Joe.
