Your nominees for the Least Cool Person of 2010-2011 Tournament

PrintA tradition unlike any other. The Least Cool Person Tournament on Card Chronicle.
I'm hoping to begin the tournament next week, but before that can happen we need eight participants. There are a few people who will be in the tournament regardless of what you say, but your nominations in the comments section will decide who gets the remaining spots, so please tell the world who you think the least cool person of the 2010-2011 Louisville sports season was. Also, remember that the participants don't necessarily have to be people. I believe The John Wall Dance was the seven seed a year ago.
In a few short weeks, one huge tool will be joining the ranks of Larry Taylor, Mitch Barnhart, and Steve Kragthorpe.
The journey begins now.

can we lump
big east officiating into one nominee, or do we have to break it down by individual refs?
Can go either way
Specific’s probably better.
by Mike Rutherford on May 16, 2011 1:26 PM EDT up reply actions
Higgins and Faried have to be on there
Even if you lump them all into one, they have to be featured names.
The UK fan who slashed tires after the football game
These people are coming too easy for me. I’m going to go think of happy things.

To be fair
He does have us highly ranked for next year. I think that’s a mitigating factor.
by Chris Redman is my hero on May 16, 2011 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions
Definitely mitigating
I don’t think he makes it onto this list anymore, although Mike might disagree.

Quick announcement
Demonte Harper will be in the tournament. Seven spots remain.

i like Faried
He did nothing wrong in my mind, other than not play for UofL, and play well against us, which while we might consider that a mistake, it isn’t worthy of being “least cool”.

Seriously?
I’ve learned over the years that they don’t call that foul.
by cardsinindy2010 on May 16, 2011 2:41 PM EDT up reply actions
he's not the ref
he didn’t intentionally do something wrong (unlike Larry Taylor). he played hard and his team won. I can’t hate him for that. i thought it was a foul at the time, but honestly, i woudln’t expect a foul to be called in that situation, and even if it should have been, you can’t put that on Faried.
by Ben Go CARDS on May 16, 2011 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions
He's not going to win this tourney, but getting away with that play (after getting a cheap call on Jennings and hitting two consecutive free throws for the first time in his life) was *very* uncool
by cardsinindy2010 on May 16, 2011 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions
The refs couldn't do it without Faried
Sorry, but sometimes someone who beats you fairly (without any help from the refs) is worthy of a “least cool” nomination (see Demonte Harper). When an opposing player gets help from the refs, that only exacerbates his uncoolness.
And yes, contributing to a Louisville NCAA tournament defeat is plenty wrong.
by cardsinindy2010 on May 16, 2011 4:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Lame
Playing for a team that knocks the CARDS out of the NCAA, and playing a good game definitley DOES NOT make somebody “uncool”.
I mean serioulsy…get over it.

Cal?
He’s disappointed he missed out on the title last year.

Brandon Bender, Jorts, Rodney Purvis, Marquis Teague, Digger Phelps, Bob Knight, Doug Gottlieb, The thing UK players do when they hit a 3 (that is so stupid), UL Gnome. Leonardo DiCaprio, Clean Coach Cal
Dont put Matt Jones on there. He would like it too much.
by Cambroni Cardinals on May 16, 2011 1:49 PM EDT reply actions
We can not to Rodney Purvis
That would be used against us in recruiting on a national level.
Calipari and every other coach in the country would show elite recruits and their parents a ‘blog’ referring to a recruit as the ‘least cool person’.
Let’s keep it to signed LOI and beyond.
Gottlieb
Definitely the name that i was looking for
by Chicago's Cardinal 3 on May 16, 2011 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions
That was going to be one of my nominees
If he was worth a SHIT, we’d be even better prepared than we are now that Coach Strong and company has been able to come in and recruit some players who can propel the program forward. Not only that, but being able to COACH them too!

for reinforcing the stereotype that white people think that black people look the same during the beginning of their broadcast of the Louisville/Oregon State football game.
"To win the game is great. To play the game is greater. But to love the game is greatest of all."
Knight should win hands down
not because there aren’t other outstanding nominees, but because he wouldn’t let go of the Kyle bashing. Never apologized, either. Digger isn’t important enough to warrant consideration.
theoldman
Knight has been taking public digs at Cal and ULex for the last two years too...
Mitigating his Kyle comments. Hated the ND game, but I give him props for having the balls to acknowledge the sleaze in Lexington.

Bob Knight? Apologize?
If you expected that, you must have just arrived recently from some alternate reality.
"...and the present, for us, is something that we really look forward to."
- Rick Pitino
Ben Handsbourgh for being the largest D-bag, crybaby in the BE
this year. He just had that look that made you want to punch everytime you saw him on TV.
Followed by Digger & Knight, Bender, J – Bone and anything related to UofK.
Ben Hansbrough...
That guy is a douche. He shouldn’t win least cool person…but he should at least be in the running.
Tony Woods
Deserves a nomination for even thinking about going UK after we begrudgingly accepted him. Unless, of course, Pitino told him to get lost after Fuller left.

What about The Injury Bug
I know it seems kind of ambiguous, but definitely was the least cool thing about this past year.
by Chris Redman is my hero on May 16, 2011 2:41 PM EDT reply actions
Oh yeah
Tony Woods, Marquis Teague, Nike, Jorts,
Which ref gave Kyle the T? He should definitely be in.
Apologies if mentioned above.

For cheering louder than I have ever heard them cheer for the Nuggets for a team that no one there had ever heard of before
Or the NCAA selection committee, they screwed us by moving us across the country for the opening round as well as just dropped the ball in general with the selections

Yeah, they really messed up the selections

George O'Leary
I can’t really fault him for not letting Smith out of his LOI, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it turns out there was massive shadiness involved and O’Leary knew all along. Plus, he’s just a giant douche.
Need more votes.....
Or it’s gonna be David Williams.

My personal nominations (in order)
Marquis Teague
Tim Fuller
J-Bone
Brandon Bender
Jim Burr
George O’Leary
Kentucky fans
Demonte Harper
"Marquise Teague sucks!"
-Bryce Cotten
The uncool eight
1. Brandon Bender
2. David Baker
3. Tim Fuller
4. Bob Knight + Digger Phelps
5. Marquis Teague
6. Ashton Gibbs
7. Twitter
8. George O’Leary
"...and the present, for us, is something that we really look forward to."
- Rick Pitino
I personally don't think that Bender has been THAT much of a nusence(?).
We lost D Smith (who I like but probably won’t be a superstar) Kevin Ware(meh), Michael Chandler (double meh), and Torrian Graham (the only impact player on the list).
"Marquise Teague sucks!"
-Bryce Cotten
but as a former player he is a traitor to UofL
and that makes him more uncool by an order of magnitude.
"...and the present, for us, is something that we really look forward to."
- Rick Pitino
Hot hot.
It had to be said.
I would put Bender, and DeMarcus Smith, because no one annoyed me as much as Smith, and I think he should be on the list. I’m going to agree with the people that said DePaul day Mike because that’s the funniest one. I think it could win.
Knights
UCF – KNIGHTS
BOB – KNIGHT
PHIL – KNIGHT (NIKE)
SUGE – KNIGHT (Tupac is our homie)
BRANDON – KNIGHT
DEAR GOD
Personal aside:
My high school was the Knights and I had a full size Knight of Armor at my place. It began to scare my girlfriend and she made me give it away. I had a reunion in Columbus with some old high school buddies and took in there to give away.
What Knight did I give the Knight away? You betcha, the Big East Championship game against UConn.
There will be Knightmares now.

didn't read any of the posts.
i put up the notre dame game on feb 9th.
pushing the envelope of the system, but multiple things from this game make it stand out.
1. the king has the dunk of the year (and i voted), and is promtly t’d up for a .000009th of a second glance at the douche he smashed over.
2. bob knight and digger phelps loading up on the kid, saying he deserved the call.
3. more digger saying things like ‘us’ and ‘we’ when referring top notre dame… i know you’re a fuck homer, but how’s about from professional candor.
4. we win that game in regulation, minus the technical free throw madef from the bullshit call.
5. absolutely folding like a card table in overtime. never have i been so pissed, but still watched sportscenter to see where the king’s crush would land in the top ten.
fuck this game, and it’s gotta break the mold.
least cool person of 2011… the notre dame game on feb 9th.
get behind it, because it’s a ringer.
WTF did Wroten do to us?
Yes, that is Kyle Kuric

Kentucky Fans
They are least cool hands down every year. I commented to my ky fan bro in law mothersday how ky fans can’t leave house without having at least one UK garment and commonly two (hat and shirt) or three (hat shirt jacket). He responded “just spreading the brand”. What brand is that…the uneducated, hick, has nothing else in his life any good going on so needs UK basketball to be less miserable brand?
