DeMarcus Cousins: Still just a lovable overgrown kid who plays with intensity

We are excited to see our alumni perform well in this charity All-Star publicity stunt whatever these games are supposed to be. We are a bit too classy here at CC to make the headline "UL Alums Drop 59 on UK Alums in Rupp For The Win". We are also a bit too cheeky not to take a stab at Grade A assholes when offered the opportunity, thus the Cousin’s headline.

Personally, I think the shared tone of Louisville fans today is that we find it amusing how peculiar the behavior of UK fans were at the game last night and are today.

I must laugh that bewildered UK fans (all a part of my 20% referenced number above) were lining the exit rows, booing and sulking as the DR national team pulled away in the final few minutes last night. The fans I saw on TV were acting the same way they would have been had any other opponent had come into Rupp and beaten the home team. They boo’d every action by Sosa, Hoford and Garcia as if they still were wearing a hated rival’s jersey. They cheered a stupid, bone-headed foul by Cousins (that describes his attitude and personality to a T) with a standing ovation only because it was against a former UofL player.

Then, today that very same type of fan (again, all apart of this magic 20%) come on the blogs, message boards and internet at-large with a sudden sunny attitude that excuses “the loss” by the former Wildcats (as neatly outlined by Cambroni Cardinals above). Somehow, the fact that two former Louisville players outplayed the UK Pros All-stars Alumni can be both sulk-worthy the night of and a triumphant celebration the next day. As the internet meme says, “Oh, the ironing.”

Personally, if I still lived in Louisville, I’d go to the game. But I certainly can’t fault 83fan and cards84 for their position. Bottom line, no matter what happens we can count on this. No matter who wins, by how much, how many people do show up or do not, what colors they wear (red or blue); UK will have a “pulled out of their ass” response that somehow (however small) will attempt to “stick it to Louisville” and over-glorify any perceived accomplishment of Kentucky.
