UK Basketball

I have never been a University of Kentucky Fan, except when I was little and didn't know any better. I watch them and cheer for the opposing team. I know that I'm from Kentucky and I should cheer for them but for some reason I just can't. Don't get me wrong I cheer for a Kentucky team: Louisville. North Carolina and Duke are some teams I also like which are team that Kentucky people despise. I realize that Kentucky was a great team back in the day and have a lot of championships under their belt.
When I was in Middle school, Graves County went to the Sweet 16 in basketball at Lexington. That also happened to be the same week that Kentucky played North Carolina. We went shopping at the mall to kill time and everything North Carolina was on sale. I begged my dad to get me a North Carolina Starter Jacket. (You remember the big puffy jackets with the teams logo on the back) He debated it for a long time and finally broke down. He said "If I buy this for you, you have to walk ten steps ahead of me at all times while we are on this trip!"
Maybe this is why I despise Kentucky! Local Paper and News report trouncing of Tennessee State, torches Appalachian State, and Crushing of Lamar.I realize that teams schedule these teams for a better record and to get better during the season but the media using words like trouncing, torching, and crushing just make me mad. Here is an example: I have a word for all of you Kentucky fans that might make you mad: Laettner
