Rupp Arena

As most of you know, I am am enormous UK Wildcats fan. However, I have always been bothered by the legacy of racism by Coach Adolph Rupp. It is difficult for me to be a “Deadhead” who embraces and loves all, and continue to attend games at an arena named after such a racist man.

Last night I told my wife that I had learned on Sports Journalists that Yale University was considering changing its name. After we joked that Yale is the WKU of the East, I said that I thought Rupp Arena must pick a new name.

I am wondering what my friends at this forum think. If Yale and possibly Harvard can consider a name change, so can UK!

 

Duke's fucked.

I do not understand this joke but I bet it is a hoot!
