[Editor's Note: This post originally appeared on KSR back on December 11, 2014. A few days later, No. 1 Kentucky went on to beat No. 21 North Carolina 84-70, so we're flashing back in hopes it will bring the Cats some mojo on Saturday.]
It’s the holiday season, a time for us to sit back and count our blessings…like being Kentucky Wildcats and not Tar Heels.
You see, somewhere along the way, you learned that at Kentucky, we go to class like good boys and girls, we don’t associate with fraternities where boys wear coral short shorts and matching Croakies, we don’t lose basketball games to two different teams from the state of Iowa within a single calendar year, and we don’t give our kids first names that, in any other part of the country, would be last names.
It all starts with your name. Have you ever wondered what your name would have been like if your parents were entitled, pretentious, sweater-wearing Carolina Alumni?
Wonder no more, and be thankful you’re a UK Fan. Behold, the “KSR Pretentious UNC Fan Name Generator!”
