It's not KY's fault that Tenn had a lousy team ... AND we were celebrating the end of a 26yr streak of being owned. WE were a 5-7 team, as well ... we just happened to be the better 5-7 team, that day.

Anytime a non-ranked team beats a #1 "ranked" team (however prematurely ranked as such) ... the fans have every right to celebrate that victory. But, it won't be cataloged as anything but a early season upset win for IU, & never hold the significance of the last second shot by Laettner.

I'm not going to let the IU victory get to me ... we'll lose some more games, and maybe even to a less talented team than IU. What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
