A Twelve-Year-Old and Ramon Harris

I just heard the good news that Ramon is doing well since his return to Lexington. What a tough year for him, and we appreciate all the heart that he shows in every game. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.
I watched the game with my cousin Dylan yesterday. I'm sure all of you were taken aback as we were when you heard the news that a Kentucky player had collapsed at halftime. I doubt many people outside the program took the news as hard as Dylan.
A synopsis:
  • "Who? Who is it? It's Patrick Patterson. I don't see him." (We found Patterson.)
  • "Where's Gillispie? We can't play without Gillispie. A team cannot take the floor without the head coach unless he's been ejected. It's in the rules." (Pretty sure that's not a rule.)
  • "Who's that guy? Does he know how to coach?" (Jeremy Cox)
  • "What's that guy saying? I don't know him." (Glenn Cyprien)
  • "Oh, we'll lose now. We'll lose to Alabama. Noooo." (1st minute)
  • "There's Gillispie. Who's going to the hospital with Ramon? Is his mama there? What hospital is he going to?" (I just don't know. Probably not--she lives in Alaska. University?)
  • "That referee cheats! Just like the referee in my game!" (True.)
  • "I walked like that, and they didn't call it." (Good work, D. Very Sneaky)
  • "What's Josh's last name? What's Josh's last name? What's Josh's last name?" (Always Harrellson)
  • "When I tackled James like that it was a foul." (Well, yes, you shouldn't tackle in basketball.)
  • "I thought Ronald Steele was out." (rinse, repeat. That's his brother.)
  • "Eww, he threw up." (Poor Ramon)
