That article is nauseating. In large part, because you can't really argue with it. Send it to Mitch - oops, way too late.
While we're in the dumps . . .
Last weekend was probably the most humiliated I've felt as a UK football fan. I've felt sorrow, despair, but not really downright embarrassment, until then.
I've already described the UF fans' attitude toward us. But this exchange with a waitress at BW3 in the ATL airport on the way down on Friday was probably even worse:
-My son's friend is wearing a Gators sweatshirt. Waitress says, "Gators - ha! You'll alright but no match for the Tide. I'm a Bama girl.
-She looks at us and says "where you from?" "Kentucky. Not much to cheer for in football these days."
-Without missing a beat, she matter-of-factly says, "Kentucky, that's not even SEC". The way she said it, it sounded like she actually thought UK was not an SEC school. I laughed and say "technically, yes they are" - she scoffed and said "technically - yeah, that's about all - but not really."
Quite disheartening to be completely dismissed by an airport BW3 waitress / Bama fan, who essentially told me that the SEC doesn't claim Kentucky.
I didn't even bother to bring up basketball, because really, what's the point?
