OP, this is not a forum for the University of Jodie Meeks. It is a forum for the University of Kentucky basketball program.
A night I will never forget. Having that moment in that season — it was like a diamond landing in your pocket in the middle of a dung storm
Watching Meeks that season was highly addicting... just wondering how many points he'd put up.
That was a legendary game just wish it was at Rupp that orange is hard on the eyes.

For personal reasons, this was my favorite game of all time.
All while wearing capris. Watched it with some friends and every shot was a celebration.
it was indeed. That's one of those moments in life where you don't forget where you were. I was at a hoops alone drinking a pitcher of amber bach taking in the misery of being a UK fan at the time, but that night was awesome.
I said it before, this season has been the worst ever for me IMO, hopefully it gets turned around and we make the dance... I think if we play Mo less and Kam at the 4 a whole lot more, along with JJ running point well we can salvage somewhat. Otherwise this season has been Worse than Gillespie era for me because we had Meeks and it was entertaining as hell... The covid year was just blah what it was, canceled games and stupid crap.
This is why that game was so special to me. Watched it with a terminally ill family member. He celebrated every shot. He almost forgot he was sick for one night.
Man I feel old.17 years. Wow.
I was skinny, had hair and my beard was the same color in those days. Lol

At my mom’s house. For some reason that I can’t remember I had a flat screen tv set up in her kitchen and watched it there. Back then both parents still alive, now neither. Was a really rough year basketball wise but I’d go back to it and relive it in a heartbeat.Where were you in that storm, sounds like a s.hitty deal
I had the displeasure of living in Clarksville, TN at that time. At least for that moment it sure was fun to be a Cats fan in Tennessee after Meeks torched them for 54. Pulled off the sweep of the Vols too in the regular season. BCG was 3-1 against Pearl. The only loss by 3 at Tennessee in '08. Cats played tough in that game. Perry Stevenson had 13 points and 14 boards.
before that teams hit the skids halfway through conference play, Meeks was on pace to exceed 1,000 points in a season. Ended up with 854 which is 2nd only to Dan Issel.
It's hard for me to think about Meeks and not think about the following year.
I attended the game after that when BillyG benched Jodie vs South Cackalacky. I sat near Jodie's dad and wondered aloud, "why is Jodie still on the bench?". His dad and the other players' parents were equally baffled. One of the parents said, "none of us know what this joker is doing" and a few of them said that if BillyG came back, their sons would transfer. That's when I knew something was wrong with BillyG.
