National Champs!

Well, unless you live under a rock, by now you know that my beloved University of Kentucky Wildcats are NATIONAL CHAMPS!



I was so excited to see this team win. They deserved it! I realize I am waaaaay biased, but this team was just awesome. They easily clobbered every team they played this season, most by double digits. I'm not gonna lie, there were times I fell asleep during regular season games because it was such a huge blowout!

Now to get on my proverbial soapbox.....I realize most of these guys are one-and-done. But you know what? I couldn't care less.  They brought home a lot of W's and the championship, and isn't that kinda the point? If the university wanted to increase the matriculation rate, they would hire tutors. Instead, they hire a coach.......John Calipari, a proven recruiter and winner. His job there is to get wins, which is what he is doing. I don't care if the players graduate or not. All I care about is can they dribble, pass, shoot, defend, etc.

Any hater who says this is unfair is just that.....a hater. There are several types of haters:
  • Coaches from other schools: Shut up! You are just jealous because you couldn't get these guys to sign with your team.
  • Players from other schools: Shut up!  You are just jealous because you didn't win a championship and that you are not going to be drafted in the first round, thereby making millions!
  • Fans of other teams: Shut up! You are just jealous because your team isn't as good.  Not a one of you would have passed up the chance to have Davis on your team if given the opportunity!
  • All other people who hate UK: It's lonely at the top. People hate UK for the same reason they hate the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Yankees, the Lakers, etc. TOTAL DOMINANCE! Oh and you can shut up too! :)

March Madness

First, let me say that I am a brilliant multi-tasker. Perhaps that's why I am good at my job (or at least I like to think I am)!? Unless said multi-tasking involves cleaning house that is! Currently, I am multi tasking by blogging, watching college basketball, reading US Weekly (I'm glad JT broke Jessica Beil's heart.......they make a strange couple), zipping through American Idol on TIVO (come on America! Seriously!? Casey?), etc.

Of all those things, I LOVE LOVE LOVE college basketball the most! A few weeks ago I saw a fan in the stands watching my beloved Cats and sporting this shirt:


  I need this shirt...........BAD! It's only three minutes into the Duke game and I am already sick to my stomach. The score is only 14-13, but I still wanna puke watching Duke make a basket.  To say I despise Duke would be a vast understatement.  It's bad enough Florida won tonight. I cannot take a Duke win on top of that. The hubby cheers for other SEC teams to do well in the tournament. I am down with that.......except for Florida. If Duke and Florida end up in the Championship game, I vote spontaneous combustion so they both lose!

Living in the state of Ohio this year poses a large problem: UK v. Ohio State. Frank and I considered having people over to our house to watch the game for about a millisecond. I quickly pointed out that anyone in my house wearing an Ohio State shirt and talking smack would be immediately punched in the face and then asked to leave the premises.........we decided to go out and watch the game instead! Looking forward to tomorrow night at 9:45........praying for a win and looking for some blood pressure pills black market in the mean time!
