being in a B&B in Taos NM sitting at the breakfast table with 3 other couples and having 3 very avid college basketball fans there who rout for and closely follow the last 3 Nat'l champions.
Well it happened to me on Saturday. I was talking to the gentleman sitting next to me and he said he was from Lexington KY and I asked if he followed KY hoops. (I know, a dumb question, but I asked anyway). He looked at me like I was from another planet and then raved about the pre-Calipari period. I asked him what he thought of Calipari and he didn't want to talk about him although he did admit that he brought them a championship. At that point another couple sat down and the guy proudly said well I'm from Louisville, we beat you this year and we are the current champion. I tossed in my UCONN connection, and how we beat both KY and the Ville in 2011. We had a great conversation and there were kudos for JC and Kemba. The last 3 Nat'l champs "represented" at one table in NM. Who'd have thought ? Incidentely, the 4th guy didn't follow basketball at all.
