Kip Clark Staying with it

March 1984
Iran-Iraq war

March 5
“No one goes pro.”

March 10
“#9 seed Washington beat #8 so we’ll play them. They’re 18-11, 9-7, and we beat them by 20 three weeks ago.”

“88-70. It took awhile. We finally took charge about midway through the 2nd half. John’s 1st good game since his return but lots of guys played well. 11 TOs, +5 boards.”

“#4 seed Va Tech, 21-9, 11-5 in the semis. They won by 14 at their place.

March 11
“The UML men were humiliated 46-72 in the semis. Coach didn’t have much too say beyond, ‘We were awful.’”

“Now we’ll see how much this hurt us in seedings for the NCAA tourney.

March 12
“Va. Tech won the title.

“UML is Ranked #8, RPI #4. A 2 seed?

“Not in the East.

“4 in the Midwest. Insultingly low. We play Washington, 16-12, again.

March 16
“61-51.
Coach said the guys played like they were bored. 13 TOs, 36 RBs.

#5 seed, #21 ranked UConn, 20-10, 10-6 in the round of 32.

March 18
“59-41.
We never trailed, mostly due to excellent D. They shot 30.2%, 1-19 behind the arc. It was a terribly sloppy game, we had 21 TOS, they had 23. But we’re in the Sweet Sixteen.

“#1 seed, #2 ranked, #3 RPI Kansas, 27-6. We will need to do just about everything right to beat this team.”

March 23
47-68. We were over matched but there is no excuse for 28 TOs. Coach says that next year he will actually have some natural PGs. He’s been playing with Shooting Guards at Pg for the past couple of years.”

April 1984
AIDS virus identified

April 4
“#5 Georgia Tech beat #1 Virginia, 75-73 for the national title.

“Awards: Jed Henk got conf. D freshman of the year. Rudy Betts made 1st team, Jed made 2nd.

April 23
“Coach asked for a budget increase. Got $10,000. Coach got a raise. Finally making $100,000.

“26-8, 12-4, got to the Sweet Sixteen, will go to conf. C next season. Team Prestige is up to 52. After 21 seasons Coach is at 534-163, .766.”


“There were rumors regarding both coaching positions and University President positions for Grace Clark. Coach told us these things never get beyond the first call since neither he nor his wife is interested in moving. Great news for UML on both counts.

“This is Betty Winns signing off. Since I’ll be graduating soon this is my last broadcast. Next year it will be sophomore Joe Butts at the mic.”

“Jabberin’ Joe Butts here and UML got that 2nd PG. Coach said the first day of practice went well. There are a lot of new faces and he will give everyone a good luck before coming up with a lineup.

“UML is picked 4th in C conf.”


November 1984
Man with no brain re-elected POTUS

November 6
“Jazzy Joe Butts here with the Coach on the line. Coach, you got your recruits and you have a lineup. Tell us about the lineup.”

“Sure. Freshman Clif Proe and soph Seb Frak will start at guard with soph Phil Barr backing them up. Our only senior, Rudy Betts is at SF. Juniors Marq Stak, John Monk and Del Over will split up the inside minutes. I think it’s a strong team and there are a couple of guys behind these 7 who may also get minutes.”

“We start with 2 at home.”

“Pepperdine from I conf., then UNLV from B.”

“We end pre-conf. play at 9-3.


“This week we start conf. C play against 2-9 UConn here, then it’s 6-6 Dayton there.

January 8
“Joe Butts with the Sunday UML hoops wrap. A great start to conf. play. 80-59 UConn. 19 each for Betts and Proe. 11 each for Frak and Stak. 11 TOs. Sub Phil Barr strained abdominals. Out about 10 days.

“Then it was 58-49 at Dayton. Great D held them to 21.6%. Clif Proe had 21, and we had 43 RBs. TOs continue to be a problem, 18.

“We’re at 10-4 BC, then home with 8-5 Oregon.”

January 15
“A tough 66-68 loss at BC. This one turned on a bad call. Clif Proe drove to the hoop on our final possession and was called for a charge. The replay made it obvious that it was a terrible call; he was literally grabbed by the defender who stepped right into his path. Tough way to lose. 19, 6 for Rudy, 11, 13, 4 for Del. 46 RBs but 20 TOs.

“Then it was 87-65 over Oregon here. 24, 7, 4 for Rudy, 16 for Marq, 12 each for Del and Clif. 6 TOs.

January 22
“Joe Butts here. Another 1-1 week for UML. 59-66 at Memphis in a game where we simply fell apart in the 2nd half. We blew a 19 point lead by shooting 4-20 in the 2nd, and letting them shoot 12-24. 17 TOs, -13 RBs.

“69-52 over New Mexico here. 22, 5 for Rudy, 9 TOs, +6 RBs.

“We’re in a 3 way tie for 3rd, 1 back of 1st.

“This week we’re on the road, 1st with 10-9 Michigan, then at 8-9 West VA.”

January 29
“Still another 1-1 week for UML. 62-60 at Michigan. 27, 5 for Rudy, 12, 6, 3 for Marq. We led most of the way but it got tense at the end. 19 TOs.

61-68 at West VA. We shot 29.7%, under 25% in the 2nd half.

“We’re still one back of 1st but 3 teams ahead of us, 3 more tied with us.

February 12
57-60 at home to Miami. This one hurt. We took 14 more shots and didn’t make them count, especially from long range, 4-19.

67-59 over Alabama. We played better, 4 in doubles, 13 TOs, +5 RBs.

“We’re in a 4 way tie for 3rd, 1 back of Memphis and W VA.

“This week it’s 2 on the road, 14-9, 8-4 Missouri, and then 8-15, 6-6 UConn.”

February 19

“63-77 at Missouri. The D was awful and we had 19 TOs.

73-71 at UConn. We barely got this one. 20 for Rudy, 8, 12, 4, 2, 2 for Del. The D was not good again, but +12 RBs helped.

We’re alone in 6th, 1 back of 5 teams.

“We end the regular season at home, first with 11-15, 5-9 Dayton, then with 16-10, 7-7 BC. We desperately need 2 wins.”

February 26
“86-77 over Dayton which put us in a 6 way tie going to our last game. 25, 4, 1, 3 for Rudy, 17, 7, 2, 4 for Del, 18 for Clif. +13 TOs (9).

“68-58 over BC
. We won when we had to win. 23, 7 for Rudy, 8 TOs, 36 RBs.

We end up in a 4 way tie for 1st, #3 seed. 20-8, 11-5. Ranked #19, RPI #22.

We play #6 seed Miami, 19-11, 10-6, in the quarter final round. They beat us by 3 at our place.

“61-58

“West VA in the semis. 17-11, 11-5, they won by 7 there.

March 11
And the tourney ends in the semis, 66-74 to West VA. We let them shoot 52.9% and 11-24 on threes and that was that.”

March 12
“Coach says since we’re #19, RPI 19, he thinks a #5 or #6 seed. Let’s see what happens.

“Not in the East.

“Not in the Midwest.

“#4 in the South. We play #13 Pitt, 17-11, from D conf."


March 17

Thanks. I think "The Blade," my other dynasty, is better. I sort of lost Kip in the last few seasons. I need to get him to Conf. A, and hopefully to a Final Four before I retire him though. I'll try to revive his personality and his wife's- heck if I'm going to do it I should do it right.
