The following comments are concerning CBS Halftime show host Tim Brando’s and analyst Seth Davis’ remarks on the scrum with Cousins and Swopshire:

Tim Brando Feeling True Blue Heat ?

Thought you might like this. An old friend of mine wasn’t happy with CBS’s Tim Brando talking about how DeMarcus Cousins should have been tossed from the Cal vs. Pitino battle.

THIS IS WHAT A UK FAN WROTE TO TIM BRANDO:

Can’t wait for the reception you will get from the UK fans at the SEC TOURNEY….Bring SWEET SETH along if he has the guts…..by the way check out the frame by frame breakdown of the AWFUL INCIDENT you raged about In the GAME SAT at KENTUCKY SPORTS RADIO site and in JOHN CLAYS story in the LEX HERALD LEADER…..you got it all wrong Timmy but you don’t have the guts to say it…

Can’t wait till the tourney……

Tim Brando’s response:

No my friend. I didn’t get anything wrong!

I will be at THE ACC TOURNAMENT…you know the one that matters!

As for your comments…get in line with the hater’s.Kentucky’s program is bigger than all of us…I know that.

Tim Brando

Brando then sends a second note without a second note being sent to him:

you know I’m sending this to you because you and others limited knowledge of basketball outside of Kentucky is immense.

The ACC TOURNAMENT CHAMPION is recognized as the Conference All Around Champion! The SEC Regular season Champion is the overall champion. The tournament in the ACC is more important than any other Conference Tournament Title!

That’s why I wrote what I did. Just trying to educate you my boy!

Timmy B.

PS. Happy New Year Send what you want where you want!

• In bold face is my classic example of getting beat down by the Cats and just never getting over it. The guy used to work for Raycom and JP Sports for the SEC. Kentucky basically paid this guy’s salary. Better watch biting the hand that feeds you!
