Celebrate Your Ass Off: Kentucky Fans Are Burning Couches On State Street, Mark Stoops Is Crowd Surfing In The Locker Room
We know what happened. Kentucky made Ole Miss and Mintzy look dumber than normal:
But now it's the afterparty. It's all about celebrating, because, fuck it, that's all part of college sports. I don't care what program you are, what sport it is, celebrate your ass off. Mark Stoops deserves to do this in the locker room:
It's his go-to celebration and quite frankly, I love it. Sure, Barion Brown shouldn't be live in the locker room, but you make that catch on 4th down and no one cares. Let Mark Stoops go crazy.
We can bitch at Stoops for decisions like the one against Georgia, but he also turned Kentucky into this sort of program. One that we can be pissed about losing by 1 to the No. 1 team in the country. One that can go to Oxford and play big boy football against this offense that was supposed to be a top one in the country. He made us respectable, which at Kentucky, is massive in its own right. He deserves that statue outside the stadium when he's done and that's where criticism comes from. He won this game with his gameplan, deciding to go for it on 4th and trusting Brad White's defense.
It's the first away win over an AP top-10 team since 1964. None of us were alive in 1964. I'm old as shit and I didn't even sniff 1964. Party your ass off. We're seeing it in Lexington too where the tradition of burning couches on State Street is taking over:
Do I understand burning couches? Of course not. We were all poor as shit in college. Can't be wasting one of our shitty couches to be burnt, but this is about whatever it takes to get a road win over the No. 6 team in the country. Sacrifice your couch which is probably terrible if you have to. Don't be stupid, but I'm an old. I'm not going to sit here and scream about not doing dumb shit in college.
All I know is we beat Ole Miss. What a fucking win. Biggest win since 2007 LSU, biggest road win since Louisville and Lamar fumbled. Never forget that fumble.
