| Grunfeld ceremony fantastic
It is always a thrill to see Ernie G and Bernard King on the same floor. What great players! It was also a fitting tribute to one of the greatest eras in the SEC. Interesting that Grunfeld mentioned how they hated to lose. That seems to be missing in sports in general, but I hope it will be an attitude this basketball team will adopt in the tournament. John Ward looked great and got a wonderful ovation. Great day for the Big Orange. |

| It was a very cool moment. I especially enjoyed watching the camaraderie between Ernie and Bernie. A good time to have the best center court seats I've ever had!

It looked like they left after the half. Did they go to a box for the rest of the game or bounce?
I could be wrong though, maybe I was looking at the wrong seats. |

| Kesling's critics got some ammunition today when he was stumbling reading over Grunfeld's introduction.  | |

Or have they? | |

I could be wrong though, maybe I was looking at the wrong seats. | I know Ernie didn't leave. I could see his wife and daughter standing with their hands clinched together while Ramar bricked that free throw at the end of the game. Ernie was sitting next to them. His daughter was pretty hot!  | |

Or have they? | It's not really a hatred for me. He's like a splinter buried under your skin, and just when you think it can't go any deeper and irritate you further, it does.
Fundamentally I hate incompetence in all areas of life. Bob is incompetent at his craft. | |

I don't know why they didn't let John Ward just do the honors. Maybe Kesling then could have taken notes. | |
