As you all know, Mr. Wildcat has passed away, and was paid tribute to last night in a very well put together ceremony that I thought did the ol sport well. Below, are a few notes on the man, and other things that this situation brought to my mind, as a fan of the University of Kentucky and as a UK LIBRE.
- You really couln't have asked Bill to sit through much more of Gillipsie's Garbage anyhow, that would have been more stupid than the doctor that misdiagnosed him.
- Don't blame Tubby for not being there, his plane was delayed...
- Please pray (or do whatever the equivelant in your particular religion or practice) for the family of Mr. Wildcat, they need it just a little more than we do.
- If you are going to donate money, The Keightley family requests memorial donations be made to The Bill Keightley "Mr. Wildcat" Basketball Managers Scholarship Fund, UK Office of Development, 100 Sturgill Development Buildings, Lexington, KY 40506-0015.
- Remember him for who he was AND what he did, and that is change the lives and spirits of tens of thousands, if not MILLIONS of lives, just by smiling and wearing the K with pride.
