"There's no other state, none, that's as connected to their basketball program as this one. Because those other states have other programs. Michigan has Michigan State, California has UCLA, North Carolina has Duke. It's Kentucky throughout this whole state, and that's what makes us unique."

It's staying in the bluegrass state for another year. But I still hate Louisville, but I'm glad they won for Ware!

**Spirit100** · 04-08-2013, 11:44 PM

Congrats to the Cards and to the great state of Kentucky! Two years in a row....grab your popcorn it's "One Shining Moment time."

:Thumbs:

Congrats Louisville. I have always rooted for them since I was a kid except when they play Kentucky. All Kentucky fans owe a great deal of gratitude to Coach Pitino for bringing us back from the bottom and I will always root for him because of what he did for UK. He's a great Basketball coach.

Heck yeah!!! Is about all I have to say. Glad to see Siva go out with a big time game! Cool Hand Luke is amazing shooter! said that when I watched him in the UPike game. But now im gonna finish celebrating this win! L1C4!!!!!

Wheres Gonzaga again? I would imagine they would have to be in the top 20 of there state. Highly doubt it, but it must be true.

It is Kentucky throughout this whle state. Lville reside at the ass of KY and mouth of Indiana.

**Stardust** · 04-09-2013, 07:00 AM

Awesome game. Really incredible how the Cards team is so poised. This was a really fun NCAA tournament!

That sucked. Hopefully another 1/4 century plus until Loserville wins anything again.

I'm just glad we saw the last of Siva in college.

**#1 Blackcat Fan** · 04-09-2013, 08:34 AM

Congrats Cards. Great game to watch. Behanan was a beast inside.

Curveball 24 · 04-09-2013, 09:07 AM

Congrats to the 2013 Louisville Cardinals NCAA Champions!!!!

Lets try and keep it in Kentucky another year in 2014!!!

**CraftCreeker** · 04-09-2013, 11:14 AM

Great game! I couldn't take my eyes off the game.

**toussaints** · 04-09-2013, 11:30 AM

That was a great game to watch, never a dull moment. Great tournament too, especially seeing me go from last to first in my work poll.

Only one request for next season: NO Doug Gottlieb

**judgementday** · 04-09-2013, 12:01 PM

It was a great game except for the officiating on both sides....a TON of blown calls....

**theVILLE** · 04-09-2013, 02:26 PM

By far the most entertaining championship game in the last few years. I really enjoyed watching this pace of a game. My only request for the next 10 years is that Karl Hess never gets to officiate at Final Four game again. Heck never gets a whistle again!
Hate to see Siva go but I think we have more than replaced him with the Juco kid and Rozier.

MayfieldCardinal · 04-09-2013, 02:56 PM

Im a UK guy but I pull for little brother too. Congrats Cards.

**TheRealVille** · 04-09-2013, 03:55 PM

To the Siva haters, you might want to read his story. I gained a ton of respect for him after knowing what he went through, and his determination to not go the same path.

Quote:Early life

Siva, of Samoan descent, grew up in a troubled Seattle neighborhood near the intersection of three gang territories. His mother worked three jobs to try to support the family. His father was mostly absent, struggling with drug and alcohol addiction throughout Siva's childhood, and was frequently jailed on drug charges. His older siblings, a brother and a sister, also had many brushes with the law, with his sister regularly being caught shoplifting. At age 13, by which time he had taught himself to drive, he went out to look for his missing father and found him in a drug den with a gun, and contemplating suicide. The younger Siva successfully talked his father out of killing himself.[2]
Siva, determined to escape the fate of other family members, plunged himself into Sport. When he first tried out for youth football, he was too light to play, but managed to make weight by stuffing his pockets with decks of playing cards and several cell phones. He soon developed a reputation as a relentlessly aggressive athlete in both football and basketball, and as a promising young prospect. Siva also made it a point to avoid alcohol and drugs, and helped many other boys in his neighborhood avoid gang involvement, partially by persuading his mother to let them stay at her house on weekends.[2]

I checked on ky recruits for next year. Out of the seven I found only one from ky Texas, new York, Mich., California. So your not really a fan of ky anyway.

And Louisville also resides as national champion. Although the game has become somewhat of a joke as a whole anyway.

By the way it's about nothing but the money and uk football program actually makes the most money.

**FBALL** · 04-09-2013, 05:11 PM

Hawkins will commit tomorrow. That will make two KY kids. Polsin and Hood make 4 on the team.

You gotta admit, he is.

Congrats cards on bringing the championship back to the blue grass state!! That's 2 in a row and next year should be 3.

catsrule · 04-09-2013, 09:59 PM

If Lexington is the heart of the state. Louisville is the asshole. Lol

catsrule · 04-09-2013, 10:00 PM

Jk. I was rooting for Louisville last night.

Thanks. I thought it was another second round loss and 0-75 on winning the whole thing.

I wasnt sure, but glad we cleared that up.

If you win the next 6 championships, then i mightreply to such an absurd comment.
