Denis House is a hater. Why should we not have swagger? Why should we not have fun? Why should we not get excited? That is the fun of college sports and that’s what makes rivalries interesting. Until we rush the court or pass a stupid resolution, then who cares if we have a little swagger? Also, Cousins is all heart. Maybe it gets to him sometimes, but he is being singled out much of the time. I’ve seen worse fouls and actions in basketball than Cousins’s. Coach Cal has gone a long way with him. There is a reason Denis House writes for a small, unknown paper, and this article proves it. He might as well work for ESPN, because they would love to have another UK hater on staff. GO CATS!
Denis House has never done anything that he could swagger for. He doesn’t understand the feeling that comes with doing something great. You have to remember these players are just kids. Kids that are used for the entertainment of the public. These kids will be paying more in taxes than Denis House will make in a lifetime. It’s easy to talk down about someone. It’s a shame he has to be so negative just to get someone to read his work.
