Historic UK-Vanderbilt Photos

[JPS]

A Vandy fan pointed me to a series of slideshows from past UK-Vanderbilt games. Some pretty interesting photos.

Go to this link (http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=SPORTS0602) at the Tennessean and click on Historic Slideshows.

Great pictures. Thanks for the link. Larry Pursiful was a student teacher at Morton Junior High School when I went there.

One thing I liked about these photos is not only that they have some great action photos from the games but it also contains some good photos from off the court.

FWIW, I was thinking when looking at the 1966 photos that I wish Coach Rupp had spent less time hobnobbing with the staff at the Nashville hotel and instead had gone off to speak with Nashville's Perry Wallace. From the recent interview with him on the WKYT special, it sounded like Wallace would have seriously considered Kentucky. Except the fact that Rupp never personally came to see him and talk with him looked to be a major mark against UK's recruitment efforts.
