HAHA this is completely false and made up. We all knew we had a tough rode ahead of us at Belfry, but to say there was backlash against a first year coach who started his campaign 13-0 is completely made up. I thought you were better than that ...

Maybe, but it is floating around some cesspools on the internet. I did scrape the bottom of the barrel for that one I will admit. It ruffled some feathers, done it's job.

Honestly regardless of schedule strength BoCo should be commended on back to back undefeated regular seasons and their recent return to success. If I remember correctly there have been some very down years in recent memory for the Colonels.

As Pirate fans we have have enjoyed a long stretch of success. Since at least 1998 we have been to the third round or beyond in all but 3 years, low points in the mid 90's and losses to Central in the title games have made us appreciate every single win. We may "hate" a team leading up to a big game but will be the first to give props when we are sent packing.

It's been said we aren't acting like the underdog, that may be true. It's because we like it when others think we are the dog.

All that being said I can't wait for Friday night. Win or lose 2013 has been an incredible year for both teams and I only hope we get a chance to dance again next season regardless of the outcome because Belfry - Bourbon could shape up to be one heck of a playoff rivalry.
