Fire Pope.

Many more nights like last night and that will be the clarion call from Big Blue crazies.  KSR dudes were saying the moment appeared too big for Mark. I don't know, yet, how I feel about that statement. He did seem kinda lost as far as what to do about turning back the tide of the rampaging swine in the second half.  Cal's team was extremely motivated and VERY well prepared for that game last night. Cal has gotten lazy in the last few years but the Hall of Famer was anything but lazy in his prep for last night's game. He wanted this more than his after game meal of Tyson chicken and Ellen's homemade cookies. Cal and his kids wanted this game far more than than the UK kids wanted it. I would have loved to have seen DJ Wagner play that motivated against Oakland in the NCAAT last March.

Wagner, Thiero, Big Z, and Cal all looked more motivated last night than they have all season. They've been kinda going through the motions so far this season but last night their focus was "Razor" sharp.  

Let me throw this out there for all our scholars to digest?   Do you think it was a wise thing for UK fans to boo the three former Kentucky kids like they did? Do you think that just added to these kids' motivation to go out and put it to UK and shut these booing fans up. I personally think the booing might have cost UK the win. If DJ, Big Z, and Adou had received big ovations like they should have, I don't think they would have been as determined to shut fans up like they obviously were after the booing. Very, very bad move by UK  fans, imo.  Hopefully fans learn from this and get better from it.
