“I’m stupid, you’re smart. I was wrong, you were right. You’re the best, I’m the worst. You’re very good-looking, I’m not attractive.”
It’s a Happy Gilmore quote, but the crow-eating tastes the same for me as I gather my thoughts with an emotional day winding down at State Farm Arena. Kentucky hit rock bottom in Nashville with a 35-point loss to Gonzaga to make it four losses in four tries against name-brand competition, these Wildcats getting worse before they were getting better — but most damning of all, they didn’t look like they cared. That’s why Big Blue Nation booed them off the floor and I called them overpaid, heartless portal mercenaries who were taking the “sacred piece of cloth,” as Mark Pope likes to call these uniforms, and wiping their asses with it.
