F UK

Ha ha....that didn't last long...looks like perfection was not in the cards for the UK basketball team, and I couldn't be happier. Between their shady-ass coach (he's had two Final Fours at two different schools wiped out b/c of scandals), UK fans sense of entitlement, and the fact that their school is, you know, in Kentucky, there are plenty of reasons to hate on them.

And even better that a PG who played for Cincinnati (albeit briefly) led the charge. Although South Carolina is just a sunnier version of Kentucky with a few beaches, I can get in their corner for a special occasion like this.

Even a phone call from Obama, where he warned them about choking, couldn't stop the loss from coming. Oh well. Now let's just see if Calipari can get to the tournament without putting another school on probation. My vote is no.
