Kornheiser gives UK props

[SilentsAreGolden]

We post about when these guys say something bad about us, so it's only fair to note when they are complimentary. In Mail Time, someone wrote "Are you guys still giving UK a pass", and Kornheiser said he was going to give them credit, because we went on the road and won, pointing out the other top teams that went on the road and lost this weekend. Wilbon did note that we are struggling offensively, but said we will be fine.

Fair enough...seems reasonable. Are these guys getting soft in their old age?

Lots of mastication going on here. (RR thread readers will understand)

Kornheiser said last year that he hoped we would lose and just go away after Cal called us the most scrutinized team in sports.

Wilbonn likes Cal, but hates UK. He wants nothing more than to see Cal back in the NBA. He is not a fan of college bball in general.

Wilbon likes Cal a lot. He's talked about how much he likes him many times on the show. But no, he does not like UK fans.

From JP's page, I think Wilbon could replace Denny Crum on this list now.

Kevin O'Neill

On Jon's site, he talks about Jock Sutherland and his switching alliance after feuding with Joe Hall, and starting to do UL games on the radio. Add him to Paul Rogers, who graduated from UK, and is now a full-blown UL fan and radio guy, and the same thing with Terry Meiners, and you have a weird collection of former UK fans who went over to the dark side. To be fair, Rogers and Meiners seem like good guys, and I don't think they renounced their UK bona fides, but I could never switch over like that.
