You of course can't expect this KY fan to take such sacrilege in silence

I will admit that UNC has a great team, a great coach, and a great history.  However, they pale in comparison to KY.  Not only do we have the most wins of all time (unlikely to be passed this year), but we also have 7 national championships.  How many does UNC have?

I do feel bad for Tyler Zeller's wrist and hope that it recovers quickly.  And I also hope that KY's program recovers from their current malaise to once again start beating UNC in our yearly meetings unlike recent history.  However, in spite of mediocre seasons of late, all of us true KY fans still support our team and are definitely not climbing in any closets

Rock Chalk Jayhawks..

I appreciate your kindness towards Tubby.  I was always a HUGE Tubby fan.  Even when most of the other KY fans were sick of 10-loss seasons and failure to get to the final four, I still thought he was one of the top 5 coaches in the country.  I was ashamed of my team when they kicked him out, and happy for Minn to get such a great coach.  I wish him well there, and hope that he makes all the doubters in my state look dumb.

Our new coach is a better recruiter, but there is no coach in the country who can do more with the talent he has than Tubby Smith.  He took Pitino's scrubs to a national championship.  In fact, the coaching change, coupled with the fact that I can no longer watch my team play without going to someone else's house, has cause a big drop in my level of interest in KY basketball.  They're still my team, I just don't care as much.

   Soon...Carolina will be considered the greatest b-ball program in all of history.  (For the unbiased, us Carolina fans already consider it to be the greatest in history.)

With all due respect, I think UCLA has to fit into the "greatest" argument somehow since they have won 11 national championships.

Yeah, seriously, anyone can get lucky for a decade lol

Congrats to UNC.  One day soon my Hoosiers will eclipse your Tarheels.  but we will let you bask in this brief glory  because we are good people

Yeah, but those were all in a row.  UNC has shown continued greatness. After all, anyone can get lucky for a decade or so. 

Oh, well in that case, Kentucky gets disqualified as well, since four of their titles came from 1948-1958. UNC's roller-coaster greatness goes unchallenged. 

 Roller-coaster is a bit exaggerated.  I think of it as sustained greatness.  In my time on Earth, I can only remember 1....1 bad Carolina team.  The other schools mentioned so far have had several.  So in my mind, Carolina's greatness is unchallenged. 

I don't hate UNC or IU in spite of them being big rivals for UK.  They are both quality programs with a long history of greatness.  The same can be said for Kansas, UCLA, and a few other schools.

When it comes to hatred of a rival, I have to turn to Duke and Louisville
