So good at what he does. Really enjoy listening to him talk basketball.

The Goose was Golden v Duke in the 1978 Final with 41 big uns.
Jack Givens would score 41 on this team.
I really enjoy hearing the Goose do pregame as well. He was before my time so I really enjoy hearing legends like him, Kyle Macy, Kenny Walker all talk ball on the radio.
Sincere and knows the game. Gentleman. You pick up the former players he interviews love and respect the guy.
Haven’t been around him much but when I have he’s the same nice person with everyone

I still have that Sports Illustrated
Lol yes, by quite a bit. No singing or liberal nonsense from the Goose. All ball and all business
Rex was my hero as a kid but I don’t agree with his instigating all the time so I tuned him out years ago. And the singing was annoying. I can’t sing worth a dang either so ya know what? I don’t sing.
Me too!
Lol.
I have SIs from most recent 4 titles.
I wonder if UK was on SI cover for any of their 1st 4 titles?
The time the guy called and his dog barked, then Rex said I hear your wife calling you, he should have been canned on the spot. Givens is one million times better than the thief.
Not sure. About the other titles. But I have the last 4 as well. I turned 11 the night Goose poured in 41 on Puke.
I would love to meet him. I've met a few cats and all were super nice except Jodie Meeks. I wish I could meet the Goose. A walking legend in my mind
And he's a really nice guy in person based on the few times I've met him.
Cool story, about the Goose. My dad played in a golf outing with him and Jeff Sheppard about fifteen years ago. In 2016, I ran into to him at the SEC tourney, and introduced myself. He remembered my dad and his name. Said he was one hell of a golfer. I’ll never forget that moment. Pretty cool. Great dude.
I'll take the Goose all day, everyday and twice on Sunday on the pregame show than having to hear 'DJ PM Pretty Man Joel Justus of the Justus Files and be the hammer, not the nail and the singing of the past from Chapman on the broadcasts.
SI did not exist for the first 3 titles. SI as we know it today started in ‘54.
It existed in ‘58 but the UK championship team was not featured on the cover.
