Last night was a hard loss for the Cats. It was hard to watch them loose because this years team has played so well in the tournament that you wanted to see them win. Just wasn't in the cards BIG BLUE NATION. We had a bad shooting night which made us play from behind most of the game, and when we did take the lead we couldn't keep it because we just couldn't make shots. Nevertheless, we had a great season, a season that we as Kentucky fans should be proud of no matter how it ended. Yes we came up short of a chance to win another national championship, but look at what we accomplished as a team that struggled all season long in the SEC. Those young men came a long way, and we as fans should applaud there effort and see this season as a complete success. I watched a news reporter after the game and I was shocked at what I saw. She was talking about all the sad Kentucky fans leaving the arena, and in the background all you could see was BIG BLUE NATION with their heads hung low like they played the game and lost. Some of them were even mad at the Cats for loosing. To me that is embarrassing. As a Kentucky fan we have to have more class than that. Sure the loss was disappointing, but lets not forget we made it to the Final Four, and beat some real good teams along the way. Everybody coming out of that arena should have had smiles on their faces because we made it to the Final Four. No, I'm not saying settle for being in the Final Four. I'm saying we can't win them all, but we did put ourselves in a position to win and that is what Coach Cal wants to do every year. Be proud of your Cats BIG BLUE NATION. Don't be proud of yourselves or for yourselves. As much as we like to think the Wildcats is our team, their not. Those young guys play for Coach Calipari who coaches for the University of Kentucky. Yes we support the team. Yes we pay money to watch the team. Yes, we are the popular six man, BIG BLUE NATION. But we can't forget that the young men that played their hearts out this season are the ones that are the most hurt by our scrutiny and rude behavior. Keep it classy BIG BLUE NATION, never let them see you sweat. The Hosscat20 wants the young men of the University of Kentucky Basketball Program to know that I am proud of you. You guys did a outstanding job this year, and moving forward, I hope next years is a even better season for the guys that will be there next year. For the guys like Josh Harrellson, who is graduating this year, best of luck to you son in whatever you do, you will be missed. To the players who are thinking about leaving to play in the NBA, best of luck to you guys as well, and I hope everything works out for you. Go Cats!
