Final Four Showdown

I live in Louisville which is comprised of 50% University of Louisville fans and 50% University of Kentucky fans... 100% loathing for the other side.  Thank goodness the Final Four game is on neutral territory in New Orleans because Bluegrass State is about to burst at the seams with this rivalry.


I'm from North Carolina so I KNOW college basketball.  I was taught from an early age to detest Dook with every fiber of my being.  The UK vs U of L rivalry does not have the same proximity or ferocity as UNC and Duke, but their fans are some of the most passionate in the States.  And when you're putting a National Championship on the line, "It's Armageddon, catered by KFC."

Just ask the Georgetown police who had to respond to a dispute between two dialysis patients that were up in arms (literally) and throwing bows over the argument of who would win in the Final Four match-up.  

This city is about to explode and I can't wait to watch!  Though U of L signs my paychecks and I have a family member at UK, I will be staying true to my roots and wearing  a Carolina t-shirt.  After all, if it weren't for that wrist, it would be us in New Orleans.
