Last night's game between the Pros and the Dominican team was filled many highlights and exciting plays. Something happened off the court that was just as interesting to me, in which only a few people saw and even fewer paid any attention to.
Richie Farmer, former Kentucky Wildcat and member of the Unforgettable s, who now is on the lower half of the Republican ticket in the next Governors race, had a very interesting exchange with a Rupp Arena usher and security last night. Richie was simply walking the baseline trying to get to the back during the game when a usher stopped him. I was too far away to read lips or hear the conversation, but the look on Richie's face told the tale. Apparently, that particular usher has been under a rock for the last 30 something years and didn't know who he was addressing. The usher refused to let Richie pass. Finally, after a few seconds and a couple of exchanges, a security guard came over, and let Manchester Kentucky's favorite son, Richie go by. Richie was laughing by the end, but I'm sure that usher will be hearing it from his boss. How do you work for Rupp Arena and not know who Richie Farmer is. I mean, come on ! He's an unforgettable. That means he can't be forgotten ! Well, for a few moments last night, by a Rupp usher, he was forgotten ! This struck me as funny and odd at the same time !
