Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Kentucky and North Carolina will renew their "rivalry" of sorts when the two meet up for the 9th straight regular season.
These are college basketball's two winningest programs. They have a combined 11 national championships, tons of All-Americans, play in arenas named after two of the greatest coaches and amazing tradition. Typically, these two have matched up early in December on a CBS-televised game on Saturday. Well, that's not happening now.
UNC-Kentucky are meeting on November 18th ... on a Tuesday ... at 9:00 pm ... on ESPN. November Madness?
The University of Kentucky has released its schedule and shows the date and time for the match-up. Sure, ESPN will have this game hyped up enough ... but it doesn't have that normal feel. I mean, November 18th?? Kentucky will have one game under their belt (against VMI) before they head to Chapel Hill and face the likely #1 team in the nation.
Some internet rumors have ESPN going all out for this game with an all-day deal, but it still is sad that it will relegated to the cable channel. Nothing against them, but it was always that game which CBS seemed to launch their college basketball coverage for the season. Plus, with UNC returning pretty much everyone and Kentucky with a young team, it may not be as gripping a game as usual.
On a personal note, I grew up in Charlotte as a diehard Tar Heel fan ... and now live in Northern Kentucky. This game has been quite a smack-talk topic for pretty much the entire time I've lived here. I rather have seen my Wildcat friends get a bit nervous watching this rolling storm devour other teams before taking on "Big Blue".
