The tournament begins today.  Yes that is right....it is time for the first matchup of the Greatest UK player tournament of all time as Anthony Epps....former Marion County superstar who helped lead the greatest assemblage of talent in the history of the Kentucky program to a national championship versus Richie Farmer....he of the Clay County legend, blessed with a moustache by age 12, a jumper that was sweet as candy, and a hairy belly that can only be topped by yours truly.  It is a matchup for the ages and a perfect first step towards our goal of crowning a champion.

The seven voters are still being finally assembled, but I hope that you will comment on here on who you think would win this matchup....and check in tomorrow for the winner and the next game on our journey.
