Never thought I would say this…. But bring it home Louisville….. Win it for my best friend John Martin, a diehard U of L fan. John has been out of action for a while and if anything could bring him back to health, it would be U of L winning the National Title.
With our 2012 “Man of the Year” named, it’s time to start nominating our 2013 Man of the Year Candidates. Our first nominee banged a slut, paid her to keep her mouth shut and then helped send her to jail. He is future Hall of Fame coach, Rick Pitino.
Even though I’m a UK fan, we give props when props are due. They won, and they won easily.
Was I making U of L jokes before, during and after the game? Of course I was. Were friends of mine making jokes bad mouthing UK? Of course they were. You know how many people I deleted? None. You know why? It’s a fucking game. U of L is the better team. Big deal. Life goes on. I still love my friends who are U of L fans. John is still my best friend. I still love my two nieces who are U of L fans. Yet, seven losers deleted me because I hurt their feelings. Aww, so sad.
As a UK fan, I always hate seeing them lose to U of L. It happens from time to time. Even though the refs gave U of L every call with less than two minutes left, don’t blame the refs. UK shot 41% from the free throw line. UK outplayed U of L in the second half. The game of basketball is a 40 minute game. You have to show up for the entire game. U of L won fair and square. UK hits simple free throws, they easily win this game. They didn’t. End of debate.
Not the end of the world. Our boys can’t be great every year. UK had beat U of L four times during a three year span. UK is coming off back to back Final Fours and a National Title. What is there to be sad about? U of L has not won a title since 1986. I was four. Most people don’t recall this title.
2013 – U of L will not win a National Title. They are a good team but not great. They barley won today against a team that shot 41% from the free throw line.
It’s December – Unlike U of L and IU fans, UK fans don’t celebrate games in December. UK fans won’t put the game on a popcorn box or celebrate in drunken rage on malt liquor over a December game. We enjoy seeing banners hung in April.
UK Still Owns You – U of L was the better team today. Clap, clap. UK still leads the series 30-15. That gap is not going to get closer anytime soon.
In 2009, UK and U of L fans witnessed a game between two teams filled with assholes. Cousins elbowed a U of L player and Sosa trashed talked UK players during the National Anthem. 2010, the two coaches trashed each other to the media. In 2011, we saw Pitino tell the media after losing to UK that he would root for them since they were a fellow Kentucky team. This year we saw little mouthing during the game and nice comments from both coaches. It’s just a game. No need for the trash. Tonight is what sports was all about – sportsmanship.
Here is my predication for the game -
yTU,ZBQGobPZtN!~~60_35.JPG)
I am a UK fan. I feel U of L is due a win. They have lost the past three straight years and last four games against UK. U of L is playing at home this year. So far this season U of L looks like the better team. U of L has more experience and the talent level at UK is not the same as it has been the past three seasons. The drama with Pitino seems to be gone and everything seems to be in U of L’s favor.
With that said, I will not root against UK or predicate U of L wins. I believe the game will be close. UK somehow wins, 68-67. Go Big Blue!

1. Louisville Strange Brew
Fresh off the announcement that it has escaped the Big East and will head to the ACC, Louisville certainly has a lot of recruiting momentum. Playing in a major conference is an important tool in recruiting, especially when going up against schools like Ohio State, as the Cardinals are for hometown receiver James Quick.
But the news that Louisville head coach Charlie Strong, who rebuilt the program after the damage done by Steve Kragthorpe, interviewed with Tennessee over the weekend could put a damper on things.
’13 WR James Quick whipped some of the recruiting message boards out there into a frenzy when he said he “had a few times where I thought it was the place for me” when speaking about his visit to Ohio State for The Game. Quick is rated as a 4-star prospect, and mentioned that he will most likely take an official visit to Louisville in December before taking his official visit to Oregon sometime in January. It’s long been a three-legged race for the spectacular receiver from Kentucky, but the race is nearing its finish. The Buckeyes stand a good chance and would have no problem adding him to the 2013 class.
After the visit, however, he stated that Louisville still leads. He has yet to react to the news of Strong’s interview.
Quick who was recently named the player of the year in Kentucky, spent his weekend playing through an injury and helping his team to victory in the playoffs.
(You think these losers can’t sink any lower? Yes they can!)
Do you remember when U of L joined the Big East? Pitino told the world how the Big East was now the best basketball conference of all-time. U of L fans screamed how much better the Big East was than the SEC (even though the SEC has more National Titles in basketball). All UK (and SEC fans) heard was how the Big East would crush and destroy all other conferences. Good times. Good times.
Today, as we speak, the Big East is dead. Syracuse and Pittsburgh decided to leave for the ACC earlier this year. Rutgers left for the Big Ten. Last year West Virginia joined the Big 12. About half the teams that were supposed to join the Big East turned their backs and decided to stay in the MWC. The Big East is already considered a joke in college football and by the looks of things, it won’t be much better in basketball. So what did U of L do? They jumped ship also. Funny.
I understand why U of L left the Big East. They had to. I have no issue with that. I only mock what U of L fans said for years about the overrated Big East and what their own basketball coach, a has been, had stated. Let’s quote Ricky! This is exactly why I mock U of L fans daily. They are the biggest hypocrites in all of college sports.
Ricky said UConn’s interest in the ACC “the dumbest thing he’s ever heard of.”
Yet you are now joining the “dumbest thing you’ve ever heard of.”
“The ACC, namely certain basketball coaches, did not like the amount of exposure Big East basketball was getting nationally and the amount of tournament teams selected the past couple of seasons,” he wrote.
I guess Ricky likes being among the cowards of the ACC.
“Don’t run away with a girl after one date when you’ve been dating someone else for three or four years. You’ve been dating this woman for 30 years, show a little respect,” Rick said when Syracuse left the Big East.
For a man that cheats on his wife, pays her to keep quiet and then pays her to kill an unborn child, what a stupid statement.
I guess when a fanbase and a team is second fiddle in their state; you do anything to get attention. Being a UK fan, I don’t understand. I enjoy watching my team play in the best conference in all of sports. I also enjoy watching a team that can win a National Title in a major sport. Sorry a U of L fans. Most people don’t recall 1986.
