Now we know the Boogie Man at Rupp
Great artcicle from Mark Story on Darren Moscoe who dances at Rupp Arena during the basketball games.
His story in his childhood years is very sad, but thanks to the dear Lord, he can now do what he loves.
One of the commenters says he coached him in LL baseball.
I love this story and video of him dancing. Enjoy everyone.

Good Article
I think its great that they did an article on this. I think its good to give some insight on Darren for those that arent aware of his condition or situation in life. People can be cruel and I have personally heard people make some pretty cruel comments about Darren at the games though I felt maybe they would not be so quick to do so if they knew a little about the man. I think Darren is a joy to watch and a very proud Kentucky fan. I hope he keeps dancing for years to come.
I believe in Billy G.

Yes...people can be cruel
I think this article is way past due and I am glad that Story finally did this.
I first saw our Boogie Man on KSR and there was a commenter who pointed out that he is indeed a member of the Special Olympics and a long time UK fan.
But kudos for Mark for getting the story of this guy back to his childhood years and beyond. Sometimes the HL does have stories that are excellent and this is one of them.

I was upset that he wasn't at the Tennesee game
I went to the Auburn game and sat just a few seats away from where he was dancing. At the UT game, I was just one section further over and I watched eagerly for him… but no such luck!
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

Didn't Mark mention...
That he could not attend the game until late because he was playing in a Special Olympics game the same day? I read that somewhere.
