I really can't believe I am contributing to the madness.  But, I grew up watching my grandfather yell at the television anytime the Kentucky Wildcats were playing basketball.  He'd yell when they were awesome.  He'd yell even louder when they were terrible.  So, I completely understand that some people "bleed blue."  I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it, repeatedly, with my own ears.  And this video and original song that scores it are for every UK Wildcat fan out there who is as dedicated to the team as Russell F. Adams.

Let's see, you have to go back to the Billy Gillispie era to find the last time (before Saturday) that Kentucky lost a home game--it was a 4-point setback to Georgia in March of 2009.

I remember after the Patriots lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl last year, Tom Brady's wife Gisele gave a few heckling fans a good talking to. The fans were yelling obscenities at her regarding her husband's play during the game. Well, she came right back at that jerk and took up for her man! I remember being SO proud that she did that!

So, as y'all know, my family and I go to most of the Tennessee Titans home games. Yesterday, they suffered a tough loss against the Houston Texans. Long story short, for the first time in my life, I was Gisele.
