While doing this project, I stumbled upon a book that I got for my birthday. It is called the University of Kentucky Basketball Vault. It is a 150-page book but it is the size of a Bible to put it into perspective; that is just the enormity of the book, literally. But it just goes to show you the importance of all the history that the program has comprised. It goes from the first men's squad assembled in 1903, to the death of Mr. Wildcat in March 2008. Inside the book, it has many memorabilias and specific dates and details of games and different important things that have occured throughout that time. It goes decade by decade and through the different coaching eras, from coaches before Rupp, all the way to Billy Gillispie. I really enjoy the book because it puts all the stories from my grandparents and my father into perspective and I can see how everything was back then.
