I AM A UK FAN

I recognize no other program superior to UK’s. We founded the SEC and we’ll close it down whenever we want. We won’t though because we dominate it.

I recognize no other program in the state but UK. Those dirty Birds over in Loserville are “little brother” and inferior. Any time they’ve beat us, they cheated.

I recognize nothing that UK has ever done wrong. The death penalty was not our fault. Adolph Rupp’s racism was not his fault. Ediie Sutton and Billy Gillespie’s alcoholism not our or their fault. We’re victims of circumstance because the rest of the nation is jealous of us.

I realize that I am a part of the best fan base in college sports. All my UK peers tell me so, therefore I know it is true.

Doesn’t matter how many times Florida or Tennessee beats us in football. Doesn’t matter that we ran off the last coach to take us to the NCAA Basketball title or that Rich Brooks left because we wouldn’t give his assistants a salary raise. WE are UK. WE are superior. We know this and we’ll invade any website, blog, forum or chat room to bleat it incessantly like sheep in a pen. GO KATS. You wish you were us, right? Right?

I have no problem giving credit where it’s due and I think this game proved Louisville is for real (when focused) and will be a contender for the Big East title. Losing to Kentucky at Rupp in a year where Kentucky has arguably the most talented team in the nation is nothing to be ashamed of.

But all the whining here is just pathetic. It is well established the Louisville players were chanting ‘We’re bad M’F'ers ‘ in the tunnel before the game and were baiting the ‘Cats, particularly Cousins. Its well known Pitino tries to play head games with opposing players and has done so for years. It was a good game plan and it was an equalizer which helped Louisville. It was a great coaching move. But as I said, you can’t cry about Cousins not being ejected when Louisville wanted the game to be played that way and set that kind of tone. They have a much more experienced and mature team than KY and knew what they were doing.

Give credit where it’s due, don’t be blind to the actions of the Cards when judging the actions of the Cats. The game was being played that way, the refs knew it, the coaches knew it and the refs made the right call to let the players decide the game.

I’ll be cheering for the Cards and Pitino every game from here on out. Good luck.

In the last 3 years, Louisville’s won twice. Was the overall #1 seed in the tourney last year and Big East champion. A much better recent history than the last few pathetic seasons the Cats have had and hardly what I’d call ‘inferior’.

Off to the Big East!
