In Eddie Sutton's last years at Arkansas it was becoming more apparent that he had a drinking problem.There was alot of talk about his actions while drinking.

When Kentucky hired Eddie away from us they actually did Broyles a favor so he wouldn't have to make a decision to fire him.

When Eddie said he would crawl to Kentucky,I just figured that's the only way he could get there....

I was a student at UK during Sutton's tenure. It wasn't that long before rumors of his drinking issues were spreading around the student body. There were stories of being picked up by Lexington police and driven home with no charges or media attention.

But pre-internet and the grown ups didn't believe or denied. I remember telling my mom and dad and they told me it was just "kids making up rumors to get attention."

When the truth came out I might've said I told you so
