Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

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

A 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?

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.

by Mike Rutherford on May 16, 2011 1:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Tim Higgins, Kenneth Faried,

J-Bone, Digger Phelps, Bob Knight, and you guessed it, Frank Stallone.

by cards84 on May 16, 2011 1:28 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

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.

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.

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!

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.

Mitigating his Kyle comments. Hated the ND game, but I give him props for having the balls to acknowledge the sleaze in Lexington.

Ben Handsbourgh for being the largest D-bag, crybaby in the BE

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.

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.

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).

but as a former player he is a traitor to UofL

Hot hot.

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.

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.

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?
