The KSR P.H.B. - Round One - Denny Crum vs. Mike Dunleavy, Jr.

by @ 3:30 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions

In an upset, at least in terms of the mostly arbitrary seeding I did for this tournament, Wojo took down Slick Rick to set up a second round slap-fight with his mentor and special friend, Coach K. Here’s your featured comment from yesterday, which sums up both sides of the Wojo/Pitino argument rather nicely:

from Arms of Delk Legs of McCarty:

Dear Rick, I hate how you took us to three Final Fours and then went to the NBA and later took a job at a nearby school. Except I don’t actually hate you, I just miss you terribly but don’t know how to say it.

Dear Wojo, s**k it.

(4) Denny Crum - (courtesy of tFGM) - For most of the Big Blue internet generation, Denny Crum was that pouty old guy that watched from the bench. Kentucky beat Crum’s Cardinals 9 out of the last 12 games of Crum’s historic career and Denny was 7-13 overall against the Wildcats. Before Crum, Louisville was the school that stole Unseld from the Wildcats. After Crum, Louisville has 7 Final Four appearances, two National Championships and busted Kentucky pride statewide in the Dream Game. Before the Dream Game, Crum spent significant time trying to drum up the hatred necessary for UK to schedule a regular-season game with the Cards. Denny told CBS some time before the Dream Game, “they won’t play,” and that it was “typical” that Joe B. avoided the question. If it wasn’t for Denny Crum, the line-bearded fanbase wouldn’t have anything to hang their flat-billed hats on. And that’s worth hatin’.

Very cosmopolitan.

Very cosmopolitan.

(5) Mike Dunleavy, Jr. - The choice to see who would represent the first Duke team that sent me running to the bathroom sick with ESPN-love overload was a tough one, as Jason “Don’t call me Jay…actually you know what, call me Jay” Williams could have easily filled this space. Ok, it wasn’t that tough. With a game as versatile as his coach’s arsenal of obscenities and face only a mother of a litter of puppies could love, Dunleavy only had one chance to play against the Wildcats and he and his band of fairy men delivered. The Dookies took us down 95-92 in 2001, in a game best remembered by Cat fans as Rashaad Carruth’s coming-out party. Dunleavy was an impeccable blend of A-game and A-hole, a sure recipe to garner the hatred of the Big Blue fanbase. The fact that he is one of the ugliest successful college players of the last 20 years doesn’t help his cause. But hey, the guy’s college career came to an end at the hands of a Mike Davis-coached team, in Rupp Arena, so cut him a little slack. Things are probably hard enough trying to deal with that, and knowing there are pictures of you like this floating aorund out there.

Now it’s up to you to decide which one of these suckers will move on to be crushed by Christian Laettner, and to see if the Blue Devils can sweep the Filthy Cards out of the tournament altogether. Comment in the comments and vote in the poll to the right.

  2. scfcats Says:

    The poll is still pitino v wojo, I vote crum.

  3. coachclyde Says:

    Dear Denny,
    Your son Scott is a douche. I know because I went to school with him. Because you produced such a worthless piece of animal dung you are worse than any Dookie.

  4. drewky Says:

    It’s good to know the deetz about the girl you’re wooing.

  5. GoCats2010 Says:

    I love the Joe B and Denny show and Denny had class and wasn’t a prick like Pitino. If Joe B. likes him, so do I

  6. lml_blue Says:

    hey guys
    you need to change the poll to the new bad guys

  7. bubbleup Says:

    I want to write in for Edgar Sosa. That was a tough choice. It’s harder to hate either of these two, especially in 2009.

  8. deuceinyoeyeISBACK Says:

    Matt & KSR bloggers, I expect your just gonna confuse most of the crowd on here with this inaugural tournament of hate. You’re forcing a troubling decision every day on these heavy bashers. By choosing only one, an admission of less hate is made toward the other. That don’t pass muster in the Dittohead crowd — it’s all hate all the time. A choice made looks weak when these fellers are used to standing hard on the gas keeping the needle hammered to the peg at around 9000 rpm’s.

    Polling for hate is like sending a Dittohead to sit in at a Jefferson-Jackson dinner armed with only one bullet….the results afterward are wildly random and nothing good can come of it.

    Denny Crum…ugly red jacket…enough said

  12. lueker Says:

    FIRST…

    to vote for Denny Crum

  13. 96wildcat Says:

    10 - uuuuhhhhhhhhh what?? Go away please.

  14. TheFutureMrsGillispie Says:

    Crum or Dunleavy Jr??? Who Cares?? Next round please….

  15. flipisatrip Says:

    im too young to hate crum

  16. Arms of Delk Legs of McCarty Says:

    Denny, I would have voted for Dunleavy except the commercials for your radio show with Joe B. make me want to gnaw off my “red-headed stepchild” and beat myself senseless with it.

  17. Arms of Delk Legs of McCarty Says:

    Dunleavy, juding by the way you’ve crossed your legs, if your cross-over dribble ever leaves you, don’t worry. I’m sure the WNBA would love to have you.

  18. AppalachianWonder Says:

    I think the hatred for Denny Crum has faded because UofL was so bad at the end of his career and then he made up with Joe B. Hall. Kinda like it was no fun hating Bobby Knight after he left Indiana. You gotta remember the 80s when UofL was winning and Crum was the captain of that evil ship. And remember that UofL would still be taking beatdowns from Memphis in CUSA if it weren’t for Denny Crum.

    Plus Dunleavy was never good enough to hate. Coach K teaches his boys to flop so well, that’s exactly what they do when they go pro…flop.

    “The fact that he is one of the ugliest successful college players of the last 20 years doesn’t help his cause.”

  20. Mr. Bentley Says:

    Never a fan of crum until I listened to his show with joe b. (anything but cowherd). He kind of grew on me but he still wins this round.

    Also, if Chris Cross doesn’t win (lose?) this thing im gonna riot.

  21. monstermash Says:

    next round. I honestly have no beef with either of these men. Joe B and Denny show is pretty good cause they talk fishing. And Dunleavy is a tool but not worth the beef cause his dad is cool.

  22. SlickRick48 Says:

    Dunleavy is not even a speck on my radar. I can’t hate someone who is so insignificant to me. I nothing you Mike Dunleavy.

  23. mesacatfan Says:

    Dunleavy must have a uterus. He crosses his legs and he tans. Remember how much of an albino he was in college? Add a couple of buds to his chest and he looks like Ms. Daniels, my P.E. teacher from elementary school.

  24. JaredCarterIsMyHomeboy Says:

    i like denny’s radio show with joe b. listen to it every morning between classes. they had billy donovan on this morning. that was fun.

  25. Grits Gurgler Says:

    Crum is the easy choice here as the most hated this round but the picture of Dunleavy took him way over the friggin top. I’m talking WAYYYY over the friggin top.

    You should have a special added “play in round” with Duke - Dunleavy vs. Golden State Warrior - Dunleavy with “that pic”. Come on Brisener, what kinda pull you got around here, eh?

    But then again, that picture shouldn’t get him more honor than he deserves. He’s a pure ass heat bump for sure, but he doesn’t deserve more of this contest than the he earned.

  26. LetcherCountyBaller Says:

    I wish this picture of Dunleavey could be expanded so we could see who he was giving that gay look to…Hey Mike, you know how I know you’re gay, because you macramed yourself a Warriors jersey.

  27. AlohaStateWildcat Says:

    “Waaaarrrriors. Come out to pla-ay” never seemd so effeminate until this picture. A privileged Dookie sitting cross legged and sipping wine instead of a beer? Shocking! What, were they out of Zima?

  28. Bradicus Says:

    Oh Denny, I remember when you had that unfortunate goober hanging from your chin for an embarrassingly long period of time.

    Oh Mike… you know what? You look like the claymation “James” from “James and the Giant Peach”

  29. dasklein83 Says:

    Matt, a brief note about Wes Unseld. He was not “stolen” by Louisville. He wanted to play for Kentucky. However, when word of this reached the bigots who made up the Big Blue Faithful, he was booed off the floor of the Sweet Sixteen. So, Rupp’s Runts got their asses handed to them in ‘65, when they could have had Unseld.
