Wildcats vs Mountaineers
This weekend I watched as WVU beat U of L and UK narrowly lost to LSU. It became apparent that WVU has a good chance of going far in the Tourney, while UK will be lucky to receive a bid. As I watched, a question came to mind. I have connections to both of these schools and am a fan of both of these teams, but where do my real devotions lie? Lets examine this further.
The Coaches
Tubby Smith:
Best Black Coach in America. Need I say more?
John Beilein:
I don't know a lot about this guy, but he has taken a less than mediocre program and created a force to be reckoned with.
Cats: 1 'Eers: 0
The Mascots
Awww, he's so cute and furry.
He has a gun.
Cats: 1 'Eers: 1
The Country Boys
I have always had quite an affection for good ole country boys. Lets take a look at two of my favorite.
Patrick Sparks, or "Sparky" as I like to call him, has become known for his 3-point shot. I love when Sparky shoots a 3, but I become more smitten when he talks. It is so cute when he is being interviewed and that Muhlenberg County accent comes rolling out of his mouth.
Kevin Pittsnogle, or "K. Pits" as I like to call him, can also shoot 3's with the best of them. K. Pits, unlike Sparky, is covered in tattoos, which adds to his white trash appeal. I've always been a sucker for tattooed rednecks (hence my obsession with Britney and K.Fed).
Cats: 1 'Eers: 2
The History
7 National Championships. Adolph Rupp. Rupp Arena. Most Victories All Time. 25 SEC Tournament Championships.
Jerry West. That's all I can think of.
Cats: 2 'Eers: 2
What is the conclusion?
WVU is a great team. I will continue to watch them and root for them to win big in March.
However, I am and always will be a Cat fan.
I live in Lexington. I am UK alumni. I have a freakin blue paw print tattooed on my body!
I Bleed Blue. Was there ever any doubt?

Suzanner! You will soon be sucked into this blog world and you will have an account. It's actually a lot of fun!
They are very addictive...everyone I know has one and I check theirs everyday...I am just too damn lazy..
Ok, I know I look like a total dork for making such a detailed blog entry. In my defense, I was sick yesterday so I didn't go to work....and yes, I do have too much time on my hands. It's nice to hear from you Suzanne, my tattoo sister! :o)
well tattoo sister..I am working up the effort to create my own blog...you have given me the motivation to be creative it must be the power of the freakin blue tattoo...
Ok... you are really a dork Amber Moles...if I only I didn't work beside you :) stupid blogs:)
I thought this blog was awesome! I love UK too, but WVU remains close to my heart. Even my Grandad-die hard football fan from WV is watching WVU basketball. I NEVER thought that would happen.
