@mikie_v @tarkaniang More than likely it’s from one of the old alumni games. Rogers sometimes would assist Odis Allison or Flintie Rae Williams who was serving as head coach. Jerry didn’t coach but would often sit on the stands and watch

@tarkaniang When Jerry cancelled bread alley that caused issues with some of the returning players, particularly Baker. There were issues between some of the returning players and the great recruiting class brought in. Sobers and your dad had a rocky first season and J.Kelly underperformed

@gumba69 @tarkaniang Bayer was a very good recruiter; Baker was a big time recruit. Unfortunately the players ran over him, lack of discipline, bread alley as a prime example

@gumba69 @tarkaniang Vegas has always been a tough crowd, similar to the Eagles. One of the 1st games at the Convention Center I went to was in early 73, after a loss to LMU when then coach John Beyer was walking off the court fans were pelting him with ice and debris. One even dumped a drink on him

@tarkaniang Yeah, remember your mom saying how he drove her crazy nitpicking everything when they would go out to eat

@tarkaniang 85, after the loss to UK on the tourney

@MedcalfByESPN @jeffborzello Lefty hiring George Raveling at Maryland a few seasons earlier also was very important, opened a lot of doors.

@tarkaniang Arkansas did it shortly thereafter with an international player, I believe Rimac was their last name

@REBEL66696669 @tarkaniang Primary violations were they cited gifts given by Mark Warkentien to Lloyd Daniels as NCAA violations despite Mark following all the steps to becoming Lloyd's legal guardian

@tarkaniang Your dad was involved in some interesting recruitments but John Williams to me was the wildest

@tarkaniang Believe Mabel Marie wanted $25,000 for John

@tarkaniang Fred Miller!

@RobertR75630696 @tarkaniang Yes

@tarkaniang Unless the rules change Jay isn't coming back

@tarkaniang Never heard Thompson was a serious candidate for the job but he had property in Vegas, an affinity for gambling. Things were going well with Pitino until the admin/certain regents screwed it up

@chase10796 @Ua20Matt @ClassicsCFB Arrangement/contract was actually through Prime Network for which channels like HSE and the Sunshine Network and a couple of other RSNs at the time had a working relationship with

@tarkaniang Have to wonder if the heat on Kruger has played a role in the improved play. Intensity level has picked up

@BetsLVRdh Playing like his shorts are on fire
