Okay they loss in the Elite 8 yesterday and while I have no doubt that some of the countless many of UK Basketball fans are sporting black arm bands this morning, I am not one.
Sad, yes. But as I’ve told myself throughout the season, it’s all gravy. You know, gravy is that wonderful sauce that you may not really need to enjoy the meal but “boy, howdy” so much better with it.
Well that is what this season of B-ball has been with me. Kentucky is back in form. Making headlines all year, recruiting talented (and showing on the court too) young players. Calipari wasn’t the pick a few years back and even that might have been a good thing. I believe Kentucky nor he were ready for each other then. Now, it’s different, it’s back, the Big Blue Madness.
Heck, I hate to think of myself as old. Having found out Calipari is younger than I am. But hey, I’ve love Kentucky Basketball a lot longer, so I guess even that works out too. I’m so big blue basketball, that I don’t follow their football program. Okay, at least I’m aware of a new coach with an unusual name…Spider? Chili? …well that’s not important just now.
Though we are no longer at the dance, we are not the wallflower looking in. And if the past season was any indication we will not be again. Speaking (er writing) of wallflower, Wall, Cousins, etc. may not continue with the tradition. The green of money will trump big blue, what can you say, nothing wrong with that. So I wish all that leave the program, the best of luck and any that remain or are coming in the program even more.
So I’m off to make breakfast. Some sausage, biscuits, and sawmill gravy. Yum! Yes it’s all gravy!
