The photo above is of me and Kendall Smith. Kendall is an Ohio County legend, also known as Classic Git, Gelt Pendley, Sky, and to those lucky enough to have been in attendance for that special game, Diarrhea. He was one of my best friends until he moved to Tennessee and became a Volunteer. Actually he still is one of my best friends but the only time I have seen him in several years was last fall in the back of Rupp Arena. However, hopefully we will have a chance to hang out very soon. In a little less than 2 weeks "The Git" will be invading Muhlenberg County for the first time in a long while. Hopefully all of our old crew can get together so that everyone can get that tingly feeling that you can only get in the presence of "The Git". For those of you who don't know Kendall, let me give you a brief explanation of his greatness. He is a Rockport, Kentucky native who now lives in UT Vol land. He is single. He has 2 boys, Joakim Noah and The Fresh Prince. Actually their names are Noah and Will Smith. He is a die hard Kentucky Wildcats fan. He is also a die hard Reds fan. He is best known for shooting it from the garage at the KBA. He is also known for his spin move into the KBA tree. He has developed his own language and taught it to many of his lucky friends. He has a Roger Clemens like ability to woo the ladies, despite having defacated into his basketball uniform in high school. He once puked in the Wildcat Lodge parking lot upon seeing Mark Pope. Mark and his parents were perplexed, but enjoyed a good laugh with all of us after realizing he was alright. Mark even signed a Double Cola bottle for Kendall's longtime nemesis, Bunch. Mark also dedicated the 1996 season to our friend Bunch after we told him Bunch was at home on his death bed. The Cats went on to win the title that year. I like to think that if Kendall hadn't puked and gotten the Pope's attention that Mark wouldn't have gotten that fake story about Bunch and the Cats would have had nothing to play for, resulting in no NCAA championship. Cat fans, there is no need to thank us. We do what we can for the team, even if it means telling a little fib. Have a nice day!
