ITs all about North Carolina there goin to kill.

IM IN!!!

I was born in Indianapolis, and was raised there for most of my childhood.  I also have lived in Louisville and Columbus, so I have had chances to switch to following the Buckeyes or Cardinals, but have stayed with the Bulldogs.  This is because for Butler fans, all there is is basketball.  They basically don't have a football team.  Their football field barely has stands.  Plus, they have hallowed Hinkle Fieldhouse.  While there are giant colleges like Ohio St., Butler has about a tenth of Ohio St.’s enrollment, so the fact that they are constantly a ranked team amazes me.

They slugged it out with Vandy, they nearly beat Utah St, they had an epic no one knows about, and lost, to SW Missouri St. Three losses unnoticed by anyone not watching a team hard to find on any network, much less cBS*.  They are unknowns unless you are a gang of girls needing to hit the bathroom together, as these girls all unite and bellow, "LET'S GO PEAY!"

Austin Peay State University, nestled on the Tennessee-Kentucky border is a frequent powerhouse in the OVC.  21-10  and 16-4 in the Conference (12-1 at home, undefeated at home in the OVC), the Governors are attempting to get into the Dance.  It is a hard climb, as Dave Loos can attest, he has led the Govs to the Dance twice but has been OVC Champion four times.  The Govs have one active player in the NBA Trenton Hassell and even had a record holding NBA player in Bubba Wells (6 fouls in 3 minutes, but he got to Dennis Rodman-can you say the same?)

Watch out kids, if this team gets to the Dance, they will not be intimidated, nope, everyone has to Peay and with hope, the Peaying will be long enough for an upset.  You will see.
