oh mostly we watch college basketball
oh do you
yeah and uh you know we're from uh originally from Louisville Kentucky and they've got a fairly decent ball club down there
uh-huh
yeah
it's been around for a long time hadn't it
uh as long as i can remember
yeah who's the coach's name
Denny Crum
yeah that sounds familiar
yeah Denny Crum's pretty good
yeah
he uh
i don't know he's got a million dollar contract when he quits
and with pro ball you mean
uh no with uh uh when he quits they'll give him a million dollars
who will the opponents
Denny Crum uh uh Louisville University
the university gives him a million dollars when he quits
well why that doesn't make sense does it
because
because he's good
and it's giving him an incentitive to stay around and
uh he's been there for something twenty something years
uh-huh
and uh
i really don't know the uh full reason why they're doing it but they've got confidence in the man
yeah
yeah
well to me i'd want to quit
oh he gets too much he gets you know he
oh that just shows how much he gets paid anyway
yeah
huh
he's got a TV show down there and everything
really
where are y'all living now
in Denison
Denison
Texas
yeah do you ever watch the Mavericks
sometimes
yeah
not a lot uh i i don't really care for pro basketball i like college basketball and pro football
hm
but i do watch some uh pro football basketball mostly it's uh
i watch certain players
yeah like who
oh Magic Johnson uh
uh-huh
Larry Bird
yeah
uh
Michael Jordan
yeah he's good too
and i can name a few more i just can't think of their names right off hand
uh
i used to watch basketball in fact of of the pro sports i guess it's my favorite it's just that i haven't watched many sports this year or in the past several years
yeah well the uh NC double A tournament's going on right now
and uh
i haven't watched it this year because Louisville's out of it this year
how come
oh they just uh
they had three
tall guys who had uh didn't meet the requirements you know uh
the uh academic requirements uh-huh
yeah yeah academically they didn't meet the requirements so they couldn't play this year so four of them they had four people
huh
my husband's sitting here putting four fingers in my face four uh
but they weren't very good but they was uh
four out of five hurts
huh
four out of five hurt
yeah well
i think they got
i think that was almost everyone of them that he recruited uh recruited for this year
huh
he didn't and none of them got to play
yeah well no wonder they're out of it
uh sorry
i said no wonder they're out of it
yeah well they put up a good show they did pretty good for uh
yes
you know having all short people and uh we only had
uh-huh
one we only had one senior on the team
so they'll be back
so next year they'll be back and back with a vengeance
uh-huh
well do you agree with that requirement that they meet those uh academic
in some states yeah because it's reasonable now uh you know me with me being from Louisville i'm going to say at Louisville is unfair because Louisville's got the highest uh
uh
the line the line the line drawn i don't know the correct word for it but Louisville's is higher than most other universities and
uh-huh
well i didn't realize it could vary from state to state or university
yeah
yeah they they vary from university not just state to state university
huh
if they'd been anywhere else i don't you know i don't care where it was anywhere in the United States they could have played but beings they was in Louisville they couldn't play
how does that coach feel about that
oh he's highly upset he uh went on uh
he was on uh Twenty Twenty or Sixty Minutes i can't remember which one and got blasted uh you know they uh that's where it all came about because he said a few remarks of uh on that uh talk show or
uh-huh
news show and then they uh next thing you know well they're in violation if they don't uh if they stop if they keep playing they're in violation
hm
so but uh Denny Crum ran his mouth a little bit too much
him
on national TV
on national TV he messed up but uh
yeah it's all politics
probably that's probably what it mostly is i i can't say say that for sure but you know uh right now though Kentucky's just now getting off of a uh their
yeah
suspension from playing on uh TV and then games
um-hum
next year they'll be uh playing and i know Memphis State was even in a few of them where they got uh couldn't play
huh
in uh games and stuff because of uh
uh Dana Kirk that was their coach down there uh or over there
uh he
he was uh we was living in Memphis for a while that's why i know about Memphis State
uh-huh
uh he was
selling soda machines at the uh selling like Coca-Cola had given him
uh-huh
uh for this little
uh this little uh
kid's a a basketball camp that's what it is these little kids would come here and uh Coca-Cola
had sponsored the uh sodas you know just give them to him told him to give them to the boys well he sold them for something like fifty seventy five cents to these boys when he's supposed to given them to them
uh-huh uh-huh
oh for heaven's sake what a cheapskate
and uh
yeah he was a he's uh we call him Dana Jerk
yeah
oh
yeah and he blames all of his uh tax problems on his elementary school wife
his elementary school wife
yeah
yeah she she never even got out of elementary school
oh really
um
well she might have been the cause of it
well no he was just a jerk he put uh he put the blame on everyone but himself he went out and you know bought uh bought recruits
yeah
yeah
no i'm sure you know that's one thing you don't do
uh
yeah
he went out and did that and he got caught and then he got caught with the taxes and then he got caught with the sodas and that soda really went over on the people in Memphis they really got hot about that
yeah i can imagine especially the kids that were buying them
yeah these were young kids too they couldn't have been out of middle school
yeah
huh
well that almighty dollar
yeah well that's uh yeah i'll agree there
um-hum
more powerful than you think
yeah it is
well i think we met our time limit
yeah i think guess we did too all right well well you have a good day
so
uh-huh thank you very much
bye-bye
bye-bye
