Guess it just goes to show it all depends on who you talk to. It will all be decided on the court, so who cares. It looks like we match up well with Kentucky so it will comes down to coaching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-230096901085592022008-03-20T08:36:00.000-05:002008-03-20T08:36:00.000-05:00The voting had been consistently 75% of folks bett...The voting had been consistently 75% of folks betting MU would win up until the point that the vote count went crazy.

My biggest fear is the game will be called too closely and MU is going to have a hard time adjusting and therefore getting into foul trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-73144061966383428812008-03-20T08:06:00.000-05:002008-03-20T08:06:00.000-05:00Guys, that result is clearly the influence of KY b...Guys, that result is clearly the influence of KY blogs. NYWarrior has done a good job of publicizing Cracked Sidewalks with the KY community through some cross-collaboration. For instance, he invited a KY guest to write up a review of their team, and he did a writeup and radio appearance for a sports radio site (Matt Jones).<BR/><BR/>Some of their message boards were actively encouraging people to vote in our poll.
