Before Big Blue
Author: Gregory Kent Stanley
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813158613
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In the heart of the Bluegrass, basketball is king of collegiate athletics. But it wasn't always so. Before Big Blue chronicles the early history of organized sports at the University of Kentucky, from the tenuous beginnings under student leadership, through the early scandals, financial instability, and clashes with administration, to the Purge of 1938 that paved the way for basketball's ascendancy. Once upon a time in Lexington, football ruled the athletic department. In the 1890s and 1900s the most intense competition was with crosstown rival Transylvania University. The annual Thanksgiving Day game was the biggest event of the season, and its gate receipts essentially funded the entire department. Among other highlights, Gregory Kent Stanley reveals the story behind the Wildcats' nickname, reports on the "greased pants game" against Mississippi State in 1914, and divulges the origins of the post-victory nightshirt parades through downtown. When basketball finally arrived on campus, it was the women's team that was organized first. Its transfer out of the women's physical education department in 1903 led to a twenty-year turf war that was one of the period's most intense. Whether played by men or by women, however, basketball during the early years of the century was of minor consequence. The men's team played in a gym without facilities for spectators, most players were from the football team, and all the early coaches—including Adolph Rupp—assisted with the football program. Nevertheless, the early years showed signs of the success to come: the 9-0 team of 1912, which never trailed an opponent; the 1921 squad, losers of only one game and winners of the school's first tournament; and Rupp's winning percentage of.820 during the 1930s that saved his job during President McVey's massive reorganization of the athletic department. Before Big Blue tells a story both unique and universal. As the first comprehensive history of the rise of intercollegiate athletics at UK, it makes a valuable contribution to the growing literature of sports history.

Mike Marcus thinks life is great now that he's retired from the private investigation business.

But when he and his wife Annie take a moonlight stroll along the riverbank, they find the body of a fourteen-year-old girl. The next day, another teen girl is slashed. Somebody is bathing in the blood of virgins. Mike's former flame, Lisa Werner, is charged with murder and he gives up the quiet life to clear her name. The only clues are a bloody article of clothing found in his client's basement and a red hair, and Lisa Werner's alibi seems to incriminate her even more. While Mike sorts through the evidence and the lies, the answer to the puzzle resides in his wife's mind. He doesn't take time to listen and Annie's feelings are hurt. Their lives take separate paths and both lead to Erzebet.
