Kentucky Fans Start FireBilly.com (But They Don't Mean It)

In the long tradition of web sites devoted to getting college coaches fired, some Kentucky fans registered the URL www.firebilly.com shortly after Billy Gillispie became the Wildcats' head coach. But they want to explain. They're actually supporters of Gillispie, and they registered the domain name to make sure some anti-Gillispie Kentucky fan couldn't:

Seriously, we do not want to fire University of Kentucky men's basketball head coach Billy Gillispie.

So why is the name of the site firebilly.com, you ask? To keep it away from some crazy UK fans, we answer.

Sounds like a reasonable bunch of fans to me. Of course, if Gillispie ends up with a terrible record at Kentucky, they might change their tune, in which case they'll be glad they already have the site set up.

Note: As of early Sunday morning, the site seems to be having technical problems.
