Sorry, I posted wrong quote above.  I wanted to reference the Singletary punch:

 

The entire sequence of what happened before and after "the punch" is still on youtube today.  I actually tend to look for it to get fired up before some Ken+ games.

 

It's still just as hilarious today, the way that he pleaded with his coaches and the referees that he just waved at Nate with an open hand.  And their coach G. Ford gets a look on his face after the ejection like the referees just robbed him.  I think it typifies Ken+'s tolerance over the years with those kinds of classless thugs.

This talk about Jimmy Hall has got me thinking about some of my least favorite Kent players. I'll offer up Chris Singletary, Al Fisher, and Rodriguez Sherman.

 

The rivalry just felt nastier then, roughly 07-12. Maybe it's just me but i feel like it hasn't really had the same "zest" to it since Senderoff took over (though it is by no means tame). That being said I still absolutely love putting the wood to them like we did last night.

 

 

I was actually telling my buddy is is a kent grad. I remember when these two teams despised each other. One game for instance id say late 90s probably,we were at kent, came out at the half with a big lead. Kent always seemed to come storming out at the half amd took the lead. Something happened and there was a brawl between ryan andrick and some of the kent players. I loved those teams and those days, even if it was hipsher ball. Jimmal ball, andrick, bosley, bruuuuuuuuce, etc etc etc. The rivalry was at its peak then when kent ran the mac. Now that we are on top, they just cry and cry and we stomp them into the ground. I love it

I remember those years with Jimmal Ball, Bosley, Andrick, Kwanza, George Phillips, etc.  Those were some of my favorite teams. Ever.  Our starting five were better than K.e.n.t's, but Kent ran 10-deep swapping out two complete rotations at a time.  I remember with about 10-minutes to go in one of those games, during a timeout huddle, Jimmal Ball was clearly gassed (but simply couldn't come out of the game) & K.e.n.t rotated in a fresh 5 players.  You could tell Jimmal was worried.  Dramatic stuff!

Ball used to wear an armband on his bicep. After the Zips beat K.e.n.t. for the first time @ K.e.n.t. in something like 31 years, Ball threw the band into the crowd and I caught it. It's somewhere in a closet in my house. I'll donate it to the Zips Hall of Legends that gets built inside our our new basketball arena in 2029.

 

Back then you could sit on the floor with GA tickets, immediately to the right of the Zips bench. The place had more Zips fans than K.e.n.t. fans.

 

On an unrelated note - Last Friday night it was funny to hear the "Boooo's" for Scarborough that increased in volume each time his name was announced. They should flash his face on the Jumbotron when opposing teams shoot free throws.
