Stupid fan tricks

As a few of you may know, I have a soft spot for my native South Carolina. Which is why I was ecstatic last night as I saw the Gamecocks beat Kentucky. It's a huge win for Dave Odom's boys, but I just have one complaint.

Why, why, why were the South Carolina fans chanting "Over-Rated!" as Kentucky as the clock wound down. Is there anyone else aside from me who thinks this is a moronic cheer?

Here's what you're basicaly saying with that cheer: "Hey, you guys just lost our guys, so you must not be nearly as good as you thought you were!"

You might as well chant "We're not very good, but hey we got lucky tonight!"

Well, having seen this Kentucky team get lit up by UNC earlier this year, I suspect No.3 in the land might be a tad "overrated." Then again, Rondo and the youngsters on Tubby's team have been playing much better lately (against a weak SEC, I might add).
