Fun with Basketball

So I learned about Taylor University, which for its basketball team does a weird tradition the last game before final exams. Seems the whole crowd remains silent until the Taylor University team scores its 10th point, at which time the crowd goes totally apeshit.

I love it. Sure, it's gimmicky, but it's better than being a punk-ass coach who has to wear a white suit to get people excited about their team, despite them being a traditional powerhouse and having won a few national championships (that kind of crap I expect from a low-level school, but then again, maybe that is UofL's sad mentality). But I digress.

Anyway, way to go, Taylor University students. I'd say it'd be cool for the UK fans to do this at Rupp during a game sometime, but considering how the lower bowl of Rupp is 90% packed with old farts already half-asleep, they've sadly already have that covered.

mom- a frat boy isn't a frat boy unless he can strip every once and a while.

OK, I'm calling a cease-fire on the male stripping comments. Thanks!
