ESPN

I just went to ESPN website to see if any players from any of the schools have declared for the draft yet. I got so sick at my stomach. 98% of all the topics, blogs, articles, pics etc. It's all Duke. One of them said Duke was greeted at Camron with 8000 crazy camrons. Really 8000 really. I mean 8000. We have more than that camping out for practice tickets. They just won National championship and 8000 really. 7550 of them were probably students. 50 of them were NCAA and Grad broadcasters.

In the weeks before the Final Four ESPN was all Kentucky all the time. Duke won the national title. What do you expect them to cover? Badminton? GET OVER IT.

They won the National Title yesterday ... rofl

They won the National Championship, not sure what else you'd expect. It'd be the same if we won it.

As serious as any 12 yr old girl can be.

I'm just stating the special treatment Duke gets that's all. Yes I know that the game was just yesterday. Lets imagine if KY won yesterday. What do you think the headlines would be? Let me try some. Kentucky Wins Championship but Cant' Graduate Kids, CAL is Ruining College Basketball, Lexington has 24 arrest due to Couches burning, Cal Leaving for NBA, Cal wins another championship even though he has left two schools with vacated wins, Interview with Bobby Knight (knowing he hates Cal) etc. Those Duke articles are praising Duke for doing the same things they say is really bad when Cal does it. That's all I'm saying.

If we had went 40-0 the amount of UK butt licking would have been epic. We would be the most talked about story on every news outlet in the country. As for negative press.......I love it! It's good to be king.

WOW, this can't be a real topic... I mean we just went 38-0 and ESPN just did a season long infomercial for UK starting in the Bahama's till the Final Four. What else do you want? We didn't finish the job so they rightfully should switch the focus onto the team that won the National Championship.

From August to April if ESPN mentioned anything about Men's college Basketball, something was said about UK. Let them have their one day. I can't stand Duke as much as the next UK fan, but winning the National Championship should garner you some attention. If we begrudge them of that we are hypocrites and not any better than UL or IU fans.

You should have heard old Duke Vitale preaching about his highness, Coach K.
