[Moderated by Matt Jones]

Today is May 1. When you think of May 1, what do you think of? The beginning of Spring? Derby week? The official elimination of the Kansas City Royals from the playoffs? I actually had no real thoughts about May 1, until recently. But from now on, May 1 will always be a day of new beginnings to me.
You see beginning today, Matt Jones and Kentucky Sports Radio, are about to undertake the start of two large productions. First, I Matt Jones, am beginning a 15 week training session to build up to run a half-marathon in New Brunswick, Canada in August. Now you may read that sentence and think there are lots of oddities held within it. And you would be correct. If you know me, you know that running a half-marathon is not something that you would likely have forseen me doing. I dont like to run and am not in great shape, thanks to a couple of years of having DVR digital recording on my cable. But, I have decided it is time to change that, and training for a half- marathon will do it. Those who know me well insist I wont complete it. The best percentage chance of any of my friends that i will complete it is 30%. But I insist it will happen and May 1 begins the journey.
And as for Canada….well why not make it ridiculous in the process?
Here on KSR Radio, May will bring about the begining votes of the greatest UK player of all time tournament. I have started this on various occasions on KentuckySports Report, but message boards arent the best forum. However this is…..and this week a bracket will be unveiled and you, the readers will be able to participate. Look forward to this as it will help pass the summer months until my marathon….I mean UK football season.

That would have to be Ralph Beard or Alex Groza (best in NCAA tournament).

30%—you’re welcome. Oh yeah, and has to be Allen Edwards.

My vote goes to shagari

Walter McCarty. And 11% was not the lowest percentage estimate. So
I believe more than others, well at least one anyway.

Will you have to wear the goggles during the marathon? Just think
if you did, and sometime during the process, perhaps when taking
a drink of Canadian-provided Gatorade, your goggles were knocked off and fell to the ground. Exactly who do you know in Canada that can comprise a peanut gallery to hoot and holler about your eyewear becoming dislodged from your face?
By the way, any reasonable discussion of the best UK player ever has to begin with Dan Issel. Any unreasonable discussion, however, should have Rob Lock at its genesis.

I guess I misunderstood - I thought you meant best UK player in an NCAA tournament.
Issel was 3-3 in NCAA tournament play. Beard and Groza were 6-0 in the NCAA and 5-2 in the NIT (both were equivalent in the 1940’s).
But Issel would be UK’s best ever player - he is only of only 4 UK players in basketball HOF.

Can’t disagree with the choice of Issel, but I still maintain the player with the most physical talent I ever saw at UK was Dwight Anderson. Real shame he had the drug problem.

I just did a full marathon on Saturday. You can totally do a mini. I think you should plan to do the full derby marathon next year. I’ll run it with you (and carry you across the line, if necessary).

Rugby players spend a lot of time physical training Compared to other form of sports.I have read the
Rugby laws mentioned on this site. It’s a gripping sport which targets the grip strength and the active mindedness of a player. American football and rugby league are also primarily collision sports, but their tackles tend to terminate much more quickly. For professional rugby, players are often chosen on the basis of their size and apparent strength and they develop the skill and power over the passage of time. In modern rugby considerable attention is given to fitness and aerobic conditioning as well as basic weight training.
