Eddie Sutton passes away


Recommended Posts

One of the great 'spoof' tunes of all time was created by a radio station in Louisville and involved Eddie.  It was titled 'Season with my Son' and set to the Terry Jacks tune 'Seasons in the Sun'.  The Sutton version touched on Eddie's time at UK where he coached his son Sean.  For years I've tried to find the lyrics online, but have not been able to do so.  Probably because some of the lyrics would not be considered politically correct these days.  But, what I do remember is laughing my butt off every time the song was played on the radio.

My friend and I got tickets a few rows behind the Kentucky bench for an IU game. Best seats I've ever had. Throughout the first half we yelled "Cheater! Cheater!" and variations of that until our throats were raw. Beginning of the second half and in about 10 seconds security came and said Coach Sutton had complained and they escorted us out. 

That's my Eddie Sutton story.

RIP.

A decade or better back, you got banned from John Decker's Hoosier Nation, by his friend, and mod at the time...."The Fourth Estate"..... after your FIRST post there.

Now... you are telling us that Coach Sutton had you removed from the game.

I tell ya.   People just don't understand your humor !  LOL

Was he the coach at Kentucky during the Chris Mills the money fell out of the envelope deal?..which basically ended IU chances of landing him

Are you implying UK has a history of paying players?  I would be totally shocked if they actually did that.

By all accounts Eddie seemed a guy who people liked. Sometimes universities and their fans take over and do things without the coach knowing. I don't know if that's the case with Eddie. He seemed pretty knee deep in it. It's something to keep an eye on when Coach Knight passes. How quickly does mainstream say wow he passed away and start to list off everything he did wrong. So far.....Eddie is getting a pass on his cash/UK/envelopes.

Note to you up and coming coaching types. ALWAYS get in good with the media.
