[Buc-a-roo]

I apologize Buc-a-roo; I can absolutely understand what you're saying and actually agree with it. We liked to have never convinced everybody that he wasn't from Harlan County. I just don't think it was his intention to make everyone so angry, even though that's exactly what happened.

Again, I'm sorry.

Granny, you are a jewel. Please don't feel the need to apologize for him. My trip to your place was fantastic and I was running really late or I would have loved to had the chance to meet you. You are one of the absolute best representatives of any school I have ever seen and the fact that you even considered apologizing for something completely out of your control is a testament to your character. I am now a Black Bear fan and I really hope both our programs make it to the big dance and we can cheer for each other.

And when I demonized the trash talking, I am not talking about the good natured jabs between fans who respect each other, that is fun and taken as intended. It is the disengenuine, pretentious and ridiculous crap that RUITG flung around all week that I can do without. I hope you see the difference and if you thought I was talking about you, it is I who must apologize and I hope you will accept it.
