It is great for the state of Kentucky...and I also think we should throw the hate aside as mutual fans and citizens of the commonwealth and celebrate the fact that two teams from Kentucky 70 miles apart are in the Final Four...I mean, even the mayor of Lexington and the mayor of Louisville met in Frankfort today for a little brotherhood and friendly wager on the game.

That's heartwarming.

Then, once we get all that other grabasstic warm and fuzzy hogwash out of the way, long about 5:00 on Saturday we must remember that this is the rivalry game of all rivalry games. And it's for the National Semi-Final. Cards vs Cats in the Final Four...are you kidding me?!?!? Whatever side you're on, you want to beat the other side until total oblivion...no mercy...sweep the leg, Johnny...

You boys keep on thinking that "It was an honor to just be in the Final Four" is going to be salve on the wounds of the fallen after this intrastate battle. It won't. The chance for redemption in a game of this caliber on the Final Four backdrop will likely never come again. It will be talked about and called upon at the onset of every trash-talking episode for the next 1000 years. "Yeah, but we kicked your ass in the Final Four back in 2012..."

But, no pressure. It's just a game. We don't care who we're playing. [insert whatever other "Coach Speak" you want here.]

I have a feeling that this game is going to be so hyped up over the next week that the game itself might disappoint and be a blowout or something...both teams are liable to come out so tight that you couldn't shove a BB up their butts without a pound and a half of Crisco.

If the Cards win, I will will be the first to humbly give them their props and sincerely wish them the best on winning the trophy for the state of Kentucky. They will have accomplished a great feat and will be deserving of the highest praise and fully expected to gloat and rub our noses in it for years to come. Until then, I hope that we totally blitzkrieg them and win by 50. Then we can all hold hands and sing My Old Kentucky Home. lol

I can't wait!!!!!!!!

GO CATS!!!!!!!
