The Goat Pen

The Anti k* wrote:Welp, the TV execs got EXACTLY what they wanted...

1. All of a sudden, christian laettner is EVERYWHERE. From an ESPN 30 for 30 feature, to commercials with three NBA Hall of Famers (Doc, Shaq, and Glide). Which one does not belong here, indeed.

2. The NCAA selection committee figured it didn't matter how tough they made Kentucky's side of the bracket, as they were a shoe-in for the Final Four. But dook*? Let's see, the toughest team on their half of the bracket was...umm...er...WHO?! There was NOBODY worth a k*rzyt on that entire side of the draw.

3. So how do they go about ensuring their Dream Final Four? Give dook* an easy bracket, then set up a pathetic Eastern Regional, where their favorite blue-collar underdog, Tom Izzo, could be k*rzytler's foil once again in the Semifinals. On the other side? Set up a super power showdown with Kentucky and either Wisconsin or Arizona.

And now, we'll be force fed a steady diet of the laettner shot from 1992...the 1998 Kentucky 17 point comeback vs. dook* to get their revenge...and Soviet era grainy footage of the 1978 NCAA Finals. So CBS is guaranteed one of the following outcomes now (from least to most preferred):


• Wisconsin plays giant killer and takes down both Kentucky and dook*

• Izzo shocks the world and takes down dook* and Kentucky to become their new Valvano/Massimino

• Kentucky completes their Undefeated National Championship season with an epic final over dook*

• k*rzytler takes down the unbeatable Kentucky squad, just like he did UNLV in 1991 to get a ring for his thumb



I wish I'd gone to meet my maker after the 2009 Title. NOTHING has gone my way since.

They're like the stinky little turd that just won't flush down the bowl, forever hanging around when they're not wanted. Except of course, when UNC plays them because then they get beaten like a drum without fail.

The game everyone wanted at the start of the season was UK /Duke - then Virginia eclipsed Duke for awhile.

I think UK can hang with Duke. Wisconsin just makes me sick. They are going to be playing out their ass against us to take us down after last year.

I know they are loaded with a lot of raw talent, but I have to agree with goldie that the Anthony Davis UK team would beat these guys (I doubt by 20, but still). Or maybe this will be the wake up call they needed and they will now run Whiskey and Dook out of the gym and nobody will remember the Notre Dame game. Also have to agree with Stu, Cal looked like he was about to shit his pants for much of the second half...

You're looking at this all wrong my little shithead. All of this is a good thing. Pinheads like you are destined to wallow in misery as you watch your archrival program eclipse your Tar Holes. Embrace your misery, boy!
