Is It Dickie V or EA Sports?

This offseason I've spent my time for the first time ever following the recruiting game since Billy G has taken over. I have to say its interesting following kids in high school and see how they might mature once they get on campus, and then seeing kids like Vilarino in the 2010 class verbal and listening to other SEC coaches get their panties in a bundle over Billy G's prowess over them so soon and unexpectedly just makes the storyline that much invaluable. I mean it's definitely has been one off season to remember from a fan standpoint.

Aside from following UK's recruiting, I just bought the new March Madness 07 for the 360 and it's one freakish game. I love it. However, I am upset and loathe ESPN even more for a glitch in the game, and maybe I should blame EA Sports to be fair, but the recent attacks on Big Blue Nation by Dookie V and his counterparts at ESPN have made it easier for me to loathe them than EA Sports. I kinda would like an explanation, a retraction for everytime I spank my opponent to no end on MM 07 and then having to hear this ...

Nessler: The crowd here in Rupp Arena is in an uproar!

Then Dookie V, sponsored by ESPN LoL, says,

Dickie V:Welcome to Louisville, Kentucky baby!!!

What the hell? Did I just hear that correctly?

My friends, either you've played this game already and know this already or I happen to be one of the unluckiest UK fans that happened to have bought the one and only copy of March Madness 07 with Dickie V saying this every time I spank North Carolina and Kansas and UCLA and every other school I want to unleash my fury on. I'm hopingUK Bias will document this and put it on their list of, well, whatever lists they have named for crap like this.

Am I whining? Hell yeah considering the crap we as UK fans have had to put up with lately with ESPN subtle mistakes disgracing the University of Kentucky, ie. Katz' misspelling and their poll asking if UK should be forced to play UMass. Oh, and Katz' reply in the KSR interview saying he should have put UK in the Top 10 of schools because he didn't get to see the Joe Craft Center. That kinda B.S. is what I'm talking about and now here's Dickie V disgracing not only Rupp Arena and Rupp's name, but the city of Lexington and the team.

Is it Dickie V and ESPN subtly trying their best at disgracing college basketball's winningest program or is it an honest mistake by the EA Sports team? I don't know, but right now it's really freakin' easy to be hating on Dickie V and ESPN at this point no matter how much Andy Katz wants to kiss our *bleep-es* and say he's not an opinionated columnist.
