Both a hero and a villain.

I always think of "Welcome to the Machine" hearing his name. RIP

I had the privilege of meeting Lew several times during his tenure at UConn.
I have no knowledge of what happened to cause him to retire from KU but I will always remember him as a good guy.

Say what you will about Lew Perkins but the man did a lot of good things for the University of Kansas and during his tenure KU's sports teams had some very successful seasons.

Same words I shared yesterday with a former KU Basketball player (who played for Larry Brown) and I think I have already shared on here - but will share again.....

2006 Auburn Hills...... Lew and I waiting for an elevator at the team hotel after the game. We just look at each other and shake our heads. Lew says to me - "It's a cruel tournament". Hard not to agree but my guess is he wasn't thinking that way in 2008 in San Antonio.

May he Rest In Peace.

Was that before or after you had dinner with Tubby in the lobby?

Vestibule.

yea...I had told Feral sometime before about a superintendent I had that for some reason couldn't get it through his head that it was a vestibule, so he repeatedly (and not as a joke) pronounced it as vegetable.
