Jimmy V Classic. Whatever your views were on Jimmy V, that ESPY speech will ALWAYS get you to stop and listen. I was watching that night, and have watched it several times since. Tonight, I'll watch again. I hate cancer.
A reasonably good win for the Tigers, though against a "down" 'Nova team. As for the crowd in The Garden, it's not surprising. NYC turns into a college basketball town for the Big East Tourney, and that's about it.

Don't get me started on Jimmy V. To my way of thinking, his positive points were so largely offset by his negative ones that his early tragic death by cancer was the ONLY thing that saved his reputation. Just my , and worth every penny.

Well, that's good to know, but I wasn't so much talking about having hopes and ambitions for your school as I was about the attitude that UK is without question the greatest basketball program in history, bar none, and that anyone who thinks otherwise is a "jealous hater", to use their own words . . . especially if they voice even the slightest criticism at the Wildcats, or the way they have too often conducted themselves. If I hear one of them proclaim as justification the phrase "Everybody cheats" one more time, I'm gonna puke!


Update ASAP.
