I saw the other poem, but I wasn't sure if this was posted here. This was posted (and written) over on catspause.com by someone names Ray Burns. Good job Ray! IMO it tops the other poem.

Louisville’s Nightmare Before Christmas

’Twas the night before the big Bluegrass war
The Cardinals were ****y, ranked number four
The Cats are down this year Card fans repeated
They’ve lost three games and we’re undefeated!

The only problem with that, Card fans failed to communicate
Was the best team they’d beaten was Arkansas State
Or Richmond or Akron, what a murderer’s row!
With a schedule like that, who wouldn’t be 6-0?

Louisville’s banners were hung in the Hall with great care
There was plenty of room, though, with only the pair
A few miles down I-64 in Rupp’s Big Blue Heaven
The rafters were full, with banners numbering seven

Over in Loserville there arose such a clatter
We’ve not played anyone? Aw, that doesn’t matter
We’ve got Slick Rick, Palacios and Dean
Bellarmine College said we’re the best team they’ve seen

So with the Cats playing poorly, the Cards’ confidence soared
But on that Sa****ay they were outhustled, outplayed and outscored
But how ’bout Pitino, surely he’ll pull us through
Nope, thanks to Orlando Smith, they were outcoached too

One thing about Rick, though, he sure was dressed nice
But the last two times he’s faced Tubby, he’s been beaten twice
His shoes all shined up, his bald spot nicely concealed
Toupee, plugs, or combover? It may never be revealed

Enough of the slick one and back to the game
Rondo shredded the Cards’ D, he put them to shame
Even the Cats’ big men came to play on that day
On Obrzut, Shagari and even Sheray

With a wink of an eye and a twitch of his nose
Pitino screamed throw the ball in to Johnson, Padgett, any of those!
Johnson’s too winded to lead the inside attack
And for most of the game Padgett looked more like Beau Zach

Like a bowlful of jelly Rupp Arena did shake
When Crawford flew in for a dunk on the break
The visions of victory that danced in Rick’s head
Were starting to fade, they were now all but dead

Rick and his fans now need an excuse for the loss
Youth, bad calls, injuries says the Cards’ boss
It’s too bad Garcia’s no longer driving the lane
Maybe he could come up with another ankle to sprain

Two years in a row the same outcome it’s been
Done in last year by Sparks, this year by UK’s big men
How can the egos of the Cards and their fans still be inflated?
As they exited Rupp to chants of “OVERRATED!”

Critics say Tubby can’t coach in a pinch
But at least Steve Masiello’s not sitting on our bench
They also whine that our coach can’t sign stars, he won’t recruit right
They’re right, I wish we had guys like Gianiny and Millard wearing the Blue and White

Bring back Little Ricky some tirelessly recite
He plays up-tempo and presses all night
They say bring back that exciting run and gun
They’re right again, in Rupp on Sa****ay, his team put up a whopping… 61??

For a guy who can neither coach nor recruit big names
Orlando “Tubby” Smith sure does seem to win a lot of games
So for those bandwagon jumpers who still want Slick Rick
He coaches right up the road, you can get there real quick

What’s next for the Cards and their fans on this day?
Syracuse? Villanova? UConn? Where’s cupcake C-USA?
Before Tubby left Rupp after the Cats turned out the Cards’ lights
He said Merry Christmas all Cats fans and to all Cards’ fans… “Ouch, tough night.”
