“I ball hard, that’s just what I do.  I’m a Wildcat.  I bleed Kentucky blue.”

No, those aren’t the thoughts of yours truly.  They’re the lyrics to a new song and video that are making the rounds regarding Kentucky’s 2012-13 basketball season.  And why not?  With a football team that’s so cursed on the injury front you’d think Commonwealth Stadium was built on top of a Native American burial ground, why not focus on hoops?

And the focus at UK is on their “Drive for 9,” the song by Henry Ogirri:

What’s most amusing to me is the fact that fans of School X love these types of songs/videos when they’re in support of their own school, but they ruthlessly mock them when they’re written/performed in connection with any other school.

So getcha swag on, Kentucky fans.  And prepare your smart aleck comments, everyone else.

Former Arkansas and Kentucky coach Eddie Sutton was on hand to witness the Razorbacks snap a 10-game losing streak against Kentucky last night in Fayetteville.  (With that tan and hair, Sutton would need only a headdress to pass for a cigar store Indian.)

Sutton was an invited guest of current Hog coach John Pelphrey — himself an ex-UK player — and assistant Rob Evans.  Sutton gave Pelphrey his first coaching job as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma State.  Sutton’s son, Sean, was on hand for last night’s game, too.  And like Pelphrey, he also once played for the Wildcats.

How incestuous.


(Sidenote — This is a cigar store Indian.  This site did not compare Eddie Sutton to a Native American.  The person that’s typing this right now?  His great-grandmother was a Native American.  Just FYI.  In this photo, Sutton, supremely tanned and straight-lipped, looks like the inanimate object we referenced in the piece above.)
