KY Sport Blogging: Stansbury a wannabe, Dean a pimp, and Larkin more a Red than the jerks in the Cincinnati front office

--First off, Andy Katz gives a much deserved nod to UK's absolute dominance over the SEC over the last five years. But the most memorable quote of the article comes from Mississippi State head coach Rick Stansbury, who is 1-6 against the Cats in his tenure at MSU:

"Kentucky is always the school to measure up against in this league," Stansbury said. "I think we've become their rival in the SEC since we won the tournament and they beat us in the finals once. But I'm not sure if that's good or bad."

In other news, Rick Stansbury couldn't hold Chuck Hayes' jockstrap. That douchebag thinks he and his overrated SEC West parasites are Kentucky's rival? They aren't even the best team in the SEC West! Stansbury is an arrogant prick, his style of ball doesn't fit in the SEC (reminds me of Big East play a few years ago--beat up the other team and hope they're too injured at the end of the night to hit any big shots), and if it weren't for a certain inconsistent transfer from Baylor, crap recruiting would be exposed as well. Rival my ass. We play their sorry asses Saturday at 9:00 on ESPN at Rupp. As long as John Clougherty isn't officiating, the freshly-ripped Cats (rumors of 6:00 AM shooting practices after Tuesday's premature ejaculation @ South Carolina) should explode in Rick Stansbury's mouth.

And if not, well, MSU still sucks.

--50 miles East, Rick Pitino's #3 scorer and all around senior stud guard Taquan Dean will continue playing despite coming down with a case of Mono! That is so pimp. Mad props to the kid. That's a worthy basketball player for the state of Kentucky.

--Across the river, it slipped my attention, but earlier this week Barry Larkin announced his official retirement after 19 seasons as a Red. The Reds' new front office chodewads decided to turn the shortstop position over to younger, more inadequate players, which is generally consistent with the shitty decisions they've been making since holding a fire-sale last season. Larkin has taken a front office position for the Washington Nationals. Larkin with another team, you say? Never! Well, Jim Bowden's their new-ish GM, and Bob Boone and Jose Rijo are also serving as assistants to Bowden. So the Washington Nationals are now more Cincinnati Reds than the Cincinnati Reds are. Barry Larkin rules.
