Following last night's loss, I called Coach K every name in the book. I even took a few shots at the creases in Battier's head, which makes his dome resemble a Michigan football helmet. But I would never, EVER stick a Zippo underneath a gas tank to protest a few bad calls. The people who did that last night aren't true fans. True fans appreciate tight competition and a well-played, competitive game, which last night's game was.
True fans recognize talent when they see it.
It was Arizona actually losing a game. Now, the nation and the world is more consumed with the idiots and the car flipping and the bar on fire and the riots and the SWAT teams and the arrests and drunks and the sight of Tucson in flames than the fact that Arizona let a bunch of ACC punks ruin its season of destiny. Tucson is the laughingstock of the nation today, not because of the actions of the Arizona basketball team but because of the idiocy of a select few. Our tiny little corner of the world has joined the ranks of Watts, Detroit and Chicago. We should all be ashamed.
