To be fair, I've heard KSU referred to as gritty and gutty many times in the tourny.  Also, read a write up on how hard working and smart our guards are.   :dunno:

Good point.  And no doubt the KY guy is being defensive in some ways, but I still think there is something to it.

Don't know if I've heard "gritty" and "gutty" - more like "ruthless" and "relentless"

Everyone interprets things in a way that makes them feel disrespected.  This is why playing with a "chip on your shoulder" is meaningless.  Everyone claims to play with a "chip on their shoulder."

Nobody calls Cole Aldrich "well spoken" either, but that's a WHOLE other story.
