Ground breaking for practice courts Dec.8

Postby Buckethead » Wed Nov 15, 2006 6:44 pm

I got an invitation in the mail today for the ground breaking ceremony. It is going to be named Crum Basketball Center. Named after Sylvie P. and Gary T. Crum. Doesn't say when it will be open. Thanks to the Crum's and all the others that donated.

I also got mine. I wonder if it was for Mustang Club members and/or those who specifically contributed to the construction of the center.

Can't find any mention of a basketball practice facility on their facilities list...Trager Center is the "practice" center but it houses essentially every sport but basketball.

Since the practice facility is named Crum.... does that mean when Doh dies he has to go to the practice facility and tell it the Riddle of Steel?

No, he has to go find the wizard to help him fight Thulsa Doom and then and only then can he go to Crom and give him the riddle of steel.

Had no idea Yum was HQ'd in Louisville. I suppose they've probably given more to Lville than Denny Crum.

Thought you guys would like to see where else Crum gives his money...Take a look at the banner in the University of Texas' Basketball Practice Facility...

Crum is a Texas alum, but his daughter went to SMU.

I believe when the Grizzlies were moving from Vancouver and Louisville was considered one of the potential sites, I think YUM(or triconglobal as it was known back then) wanted to buy the Griz,rename them to the Colonels and put them in a new arena and call it the KFC Bucket. I guess UofL wouldn't let them do that. :D
