Last night, SportsCenter’s Stuart Scott celebrated Kentucky’s perfect SEC season with a poetry jam. It’s not the first time he’s gotten poetic on a highlight, but it is the first time I didn’t change the channel immediately when it started. I appreciate the special treatment from ESPN in regards to UK’s undefeated conference season and I would be willing to bet that Bob Knight hated it as much as anything ever, so even though it’s not exactly my thing those two factors made me kind of like it. If you didn’t catch it last night, here it is:

I liked that video very much!
March 5th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
second.

I bet that was very hard for a diehard Tarheel.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
Ghey!
March 5th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
Bob Knight damaged his TV when he instinctive started whipping it.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
Nice job Stew & long over due.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
okay normally scott, to paraphrase guns n roses, gives rap a bad name, but this was an exceptional piece of rhapsody.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
I hated this personally for 3 reasons: 1) The highlights weren’t full screen (like every other highlight of cbb shown on sportscenter.) 2) Stuart Scott is a puss UNC homer. 3) Spoken word poetry is lame.

I feel ya 6, like Lin from the Knicks,
these Cats gona ball, #8 in Mardi Gras ya.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
That really wasn’t that cool
March 5th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
How can anyone hate on that? Stuart is giving us so much love. Stuart’s at damn pimp. Game recognize game.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
That wasn’t so bad, in fact, quite rad. Bob Knight is a snot. what is not? Stu Scott.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
The shot didn’t go for Terrence because it was clearly a lob to Davis, who had just been shoved out from under the basket.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Bobby Knight retire in a casket why UK put’s #8 in a basket. Don’t wanna hear your senile drab, disappear on a slab.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
People really put a video camera in front of their TV & record it? Someone needs to buy these people a TV video card so they can record straight to their computer.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
They say this team is good,
they say this team can ball,
But do the experts really think
the Cats can hang a banner on the wall?
Many say hell naw,
These haters gon’ hate,
But let them cry in tears,
When we get Number Eight.

I wonder how much air time this will get? I wonder if Boeheim will be persecuted like Cal would be if it was him?
March 5th, 2012 at 6:55 pm
In looking at post 14, I’m suddenly embarrassed by my old white guy futile attempt at poetic rap. Excuse me while I insert a Bill Monroe 8-track and scratch myself.

What’s next Jerry Tipton’s interpretive dance?
March 5th, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Bobby, Bobby, do not hate
Cause this year we’re gonna hang number 8
We all know you’re crochety and senile
But your secret is that you can’t get penile
You have an anger that never stops growing
And just like this rhyme, you never stop blowing

Stuart Scott always has been and will forever be THE MAN. My best wishes go out to him and his family in his fight against cancer. He is a great and talented man and is by far the best sportscenter anchor of all time.
March 5th, 2012 at 7:50 pm
Props to Stu Scott, he nailed this one, jack pot! I can’t tell if he is looking at me or at you, but it is clear he can see Devistation INC. in the BIG BLUE!!!!!!! I can’t wait for #8 this years tourney is gonna be great. the Cats better be ready to lay it all on the line to show these boys the road to title #9!!!!!!
March 5th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Any pub is good pub, and I’m glad we got the attention, and I’m sure Bob Knight hated it, so all that was good. But, yeah, that was so damn terrible I couldn’t even finish it. Plus, it might have actually been cool a decade ago when people were still into this thing. Nah, it wasn’t coll then, either.
March 5th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Bmac859, you can’t be older than 25 at the most, am I right? Anyone around for the heyday of Olbermann and Patrick would laugh at that statement. He’s gotten better over the years, but he used to be the joke of the show when they had a higher level of anchors on the program.
March 5th, 2012 at 8:21 pm
24 is dead on. Olbermann and Patrick were great together. So sad they are GONE.
March 5th, 2012 at 8:31 pm
I am a suck ass liberal.
March 5th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
Absurd, but if it helps recruiting them do a “poem” everynight. Might help recruiting better just to have snoop dog come on and rap it though.
March 5th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Stupid. Where’s John Anderson when you need him?
March 5th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
gay.
March 5th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
UK fans should appreciate the effort that Stuart Scott and ESPN put into something like this, even if it is not your thing.
March 5th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
CBSSN, Dish channel 158, will replay the UK-UF game at 10:00pm-midnight tonight. (eastern time)
March 5th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
i wish a UK grad could contribute something like that.
March 5th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
i love it
March 5th, 2012 at 10:18 pm
Nice! I actually liked it….hey, anytime ESPN gives Kentucky ANY credit, we better take it and be happy as hell. They don’t dish it our way that often. Go, Big Bleaux!
March 5th, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Actually that wasn’t as bad as I feared.
March 5th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
That was…..turribble.
March 5th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
I didn’t like it but I don’t like Stuart Scott but it was positive and I’m sure some people liked it so good for us
March 6th, 2012 at 2:15 am
I love it, it’s so good to get that sort of love on espn. wonder how much time it took him, or whoever wrote it. Good stuff.

That was as cool as the other side of a pillow. I’m gonna call Stuart Scott “butter” cause he’s on a roll…
March 6th, 2012 at 9:11 am
The block… the dish… the put back dunk…. all in 7 seconds! POY
March 6th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
