Would you believe BOTH of my beloved alma maters are celebrating big anniversaries? 150th for UK, 1

I just thought I'd give a very happy 150th birthday to my beloved alma matter the University of Kentucky (1865) and would you believe on the same year, my HS is celebrating its 100th birthday this academic year as well (the current building was built in 1959 though)? Neat coincidence, no?

And I don't know about the rest of you but I can think of no better birthday present for UK than to bring home another shiny gold trophy this year! We did just barely miss last year and with the guys coming back along with our diaper dandies (as Dickie V likes to call them) we should be among the top contenders! And I'm not entirely sure how our HS b-ball team is looking this year but we have been to Rupp Arena (State Tournament) a couple times the last 10 years or so and I think it'd be kinda neat for us to go again. image

    Go Cubbies and a happy 100th birthday to your glorious and historical Wrigley Field! image If it hadn't been for Jerry Reinsdorf throwing his little temper tantrum threatening to move the 'Sox to St. Pete if he didn't get his new ballpark in 1991, maybe classic old Comiskey could've had a nice 100th birthday celebration in 2010 as well. image
