blue in the land of blue

It is not a good time to be a University of Kentucky fan. At least not of basketball.

It's even worse when you drive two hours to watch a game that you can actually get tickets to (have you ever tried getting tickets to a game at Rupp?) only to watch the joke masquerading as the coach not even bother pretending that he knows how to actually, you know, coach.

I've been a Kentucky fan for as long as I have memory of being a fan of anything. I always feel a little like Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny - I'm a Kentucky fan, my father was a Kentucky fan, his father was a Kentucky fan, my brothers are Kentucky fans, I have aunts and uncles and cousins.....well, you get the picture.

Personally, I wish Mitch Barnhardt would take that contract Gillispie hasn't bothered to sign and burn it on his desk. Right in front of him. Then pack his shit up and send him packing right back to Texas where he belongs.

Ugh. It's going to be a long couple of years before we can get rid of this wanna-be.
