[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Last Thursday the Chicago Bulls selected Marquis Teague with their 29[SUP]th[/SUP] overall [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]pick. This Thursday Indiana University student and Illinois native, [URL=”http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2012/07/a-relatively-new-iu-fan-dissects-the-indiana-kentucky-rivalry/”]Zach Gropper[/URL], decided to [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]complain about it through use of the internet, as well as use his friends to take shots at us and [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]our beloved basketball program:

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]“Kentucky is the Miami Heat of college sports. I don’t feel like they’ve done it the right way. Considering the shadiness surrounding Coach John Calipari and his players, it is disappointing that they won the NCAA Championship last year. It’s disappointing that the weak Kentucky fans get to see a banner raised for that team.”[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]“Growing up, I always hated UK. But to be honest, I didn’t quite hate them as much as the likes of the Green Bay Packers, Ohio State Buckeyes, or Chicago White Sox due to my other sports allegiances. But recently, because of the the arrogance of the program, the fans, and most of all Coach Cal, it’s almost impossible not to despise everything about the entire program, and heck, state, for that matter.[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Gropper made sure to finish with this poignant little number:
[/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]“So Wildcats, we just don’t like you, we enjoy disliking you, and to us, the only Indiana vs. Kentucky game that mattered last year was on December 10[SUP]th[/SUP].”[/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Flukes happen, Zach. Besides, the only Kentucky game that mattered last year was on [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]April 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]…and it was against Kansas.[/COLOR][/FONT]
