holy shit did florida fuck this one up

[Durham]

Poor Kevin Harlan can't add

[Dear You]

at bars i usually just sit quietly and stare stoically at the screen. it's really the only way i can focus on the game in a public place.

For example, I wildly clapped and punched my legs when Blackshear got fouled.

So.

I think I'm going to cry.

[Asian Santa Baby]

I LOVE YOU ALL, PITINO!!!

[Dear You]

Absolutely surreal.

I can't believe any of this.

[dragon jeans]

[the scofflaw]

NO FUCK YOU PLEASE LOSE I WILL DIE

[nibelheim]

UK is not gonna drop to baylor

x almost took em going 2/12 from 3 with the softest bigs in the tournament

[Dear You]

Fun fact: UF was 8/11 from 3 at halftime. They finished the game 8/20.

[dragon jeans]

lol what on earth is this crazy stalker WWF camera shit?

[shank]

Fun fact: UF was 8/11 from 3 at halftime. They finished the game 8/20.

I guess they listened to you and started defending them.

I definitely think Baylor has a better chance than UL. They're really the only team that can match up with UK in terms of size and skill.

Gonna go to the student center between classes and hopefully figure out how I can become an assistant, obviously.

[the scofflaw]

yeah their athleticism is what worries me
i'll just hope that scott drew continues to, in fact, be scott drew.

[nibelheim]

gonna be fun to watch uk's bigs fuck with acy

[Dear You]

scofflaw, i love you and i would buy you a drink if you were ever in louisville, but you might be my mortal enemy for a while.

[dragon jeans]

Scott Drew takes talented recruits and turns them into a zip file of a talented team.

[the scofflaw]

if you knock us off en route to a louisville title you might as well buy me a keg so i can drink the whole thing in one night and die

[dragon jeans]

If I only I could relate to the possibility of facing your most hated rival in the final four...

[Dear You]

If I only I could relate to the possibility of facing your most hated rival in the final four...

why would anyone ever want this oh god no

[dragon jeans]

It was more to remind the thread of Mizzou's epic choke job than an actual expression of desire.

[nibelheim]

ive got a lot of lexington family, and i like uk, but i also like the cards

really excited about this possible matchup

[the scofflaw]

oh you're one of those, eh

[the scofflaw]

[Dear You]

It was more to remind the thread of Mizzou's epic choke job than an actual expression of desire.

Do you actual hate Mizzou more than anyone? I'm still relatively new to college sports in general, and the Big 12 is still a mess to me of who hates who the most.

[nibelheim]

well dude fuck if i REALLY care

been a xu fan since i could walk

oh you're one of those, eh

[the scofflaw]

i know quite a few dudes that are xu/uk fans
grew up in or around ky and ended up going to xu

[edgeev]

If there's anything I've learned from the hit television show Justified, it's that Kentucky is comprised of dumb criminals who don't deserve a championship team

[Dear You]

Someone who lives in the alley/street next to me has one of these flags in their yard, haha.

Honestly, before I moved here, I didn't have much of a problem with UK. The original idea to move here originated December '10 or so, which is around the time I started really paying attention to college basketball (UL mostly, obv), and at first I didn't think much of UK, just like....they'd be a rival.

Growing up in Delaware, I guess the only college rivalry is UD vs. Del State....which is hardly a rivalry. Del State is terrible at everything so no one cares.

But after moving here, the UK fans in Louisville are just TERRIBLE. I guess it doesn't help that I hate people more than most others do, but every UK fan in Louisville is terribly obnoxious, and they think the world is ending if they lose a fucking game. It doesn't help that every day I go to school I see jackasses with UK shirts on. One guy in my music history class seems to always wear a UK shirt.

I have no idea where I'm going with this, but I guess this is the sort of terrible post I churn out when I drink a bit on an empty stomach. Fuck.
