It's UL hating time on Greedordie, though as you all know Im not a huge advocate of trashing the Cards because so many of my friends love them, I feel like in the spirit of the rivalry you gotta get nasty the week of. Seriously, how bad do you all want to win this game? How much shit have UL fans talked to you in the last two years, and even this year? If the dirty birds come in to Rupp Arena and get their asses handed to them, even a Card fan will have to shut up for a week.
I think Fantasy Island sums up a lot of UL fans, just stranded on some reality where they think Rick Pitino is the greatest thing in the world. For all the trash talked about our head coach, Pitino is a proven scum bag, who has failed to properly develop talent at UL, and has underachieved while wearing the red.
I mean, just look at that cover, what a joke that guy has become.
Honestly, what is going on in that picture? What the hell is Jerry doing?!
The truth is that the Cats are way better than the Cards this year. Across the board on paper we win this one by 10 plus, however we all know that the rivalry throws the paper out the window. UL was way better than us a season ago and look what almost happened on their home court. The Cards are playing better basketball, they can shoot well enough to give us trouble, and they need this game badly. They have no respect and no credibility nationally, and this is their chance to earn some and give them a boost before Big East play. They also have players that know what this game means, Edgar Sosa has mentioned UK several times this year, and it worries me with all our Freshmen that they might not be prepared for how hard UL is going to come at them. Outside the fact that we are the superior team, there are two factors which give me comfort. The first being Rupp, it was a factor against UNC and it will play a part Saturday, and the second is John Calipari. The players might not get this game, but Cal sure as hell does, you know he wants this one probably more than UCONN or UNC, which makes me believe he will have them ready. I think we are headed for a slugfest Saturday, and I cant honestly say I feel very comfortable about it, I think the Cards are going to bring their best stuff, and as long as we do too we win, but much less and the first loss of the season will be an extra painful one.
