KFC Yum Center, here we come !

The time is here.  On Friday, the Kentucky Wildcats face their arch rivals, the Louisville Cardinals. This is the classic battle I look forward to every year.  The rivarly intensified when Dr. Evil, aka Rick Pitino, took over as head honcho back in 2001.


For every true blue blooded UK fan, this game is looked upon as the ultimate battle between good and evil.  G.I. Joe vs Cobra . He-Man vs Skeletore . Superman vs. Lex Luther . Hulk Hogan vs. Sting at Starcade.  I could go on and on.


Let's take a look at the stats since Pitino moved back in next door. Kentucky leads the series since 2001, with 5 wins and 4 losses.  A record like that makes this game even more special every year.  Neither team has really dominated over the last decade.


Enter John Calipari, and turn the rivalry up another notch. Now you have 1.) In state rivals 2.)Former coach comes back to coach your most hated rival , and 3.) Your coach is now now lifetime arch nemesis of Rick Pitino. It makes for a really good soap opera, and a even better basketball game.  Go Big Blue
