The Dime Drop: Recent Episodes
James Mann
We got a miserable love for a glorious game. Kentucky fans that love the NBA, college, AAU, FIBA, in the driveway, sneakers, movies -- it's all in play. Ball in.
We discuss our rebrand from Bogans Heroes to The Dime Drop, Louisville's 2013 banner coming down due to NCAA ruling, the current Kentucky season, and 2019 high school prospect James Wiseman.
You can read the companion piece for Wiseman's profile here: jkylemann.wordpress.com/2018/02/21/ho…ames-wiseman/
It's a pretty enormously huge week in college sports, and we are here to help you sift through the noise. Strap in securely as we discuss the brutal heartbreak of the Kentucky/Florida football game and the bizarre nature of the FBI investigation that has Louisville reeling and facing severe punishment (again).
Episode 10 of Bogan's Heroes was a personal treat. Mike Pratt, color commentator for Kentucky Basketball and longtime fixture in around the game, joins us to talk a wiiiiiide variety of topics. Mike is just one of those guys that can riff on stories for hours. Definitely want to try and have him back. Some topics we hit:
- The music that Mike grew up enjoying.
- Style during the ABA era.
- How Mike ended up at UK.
- Some great anecdotes about Coach Rupp.
- Playing against Pistol Pete.
- Mike thinks he was statistically cheated at UK.
- Mike's time as a scout in the NBA and that lifestyle.
- Building the Charlotte Hornets from scratch.
