It's a good day to be a Wildcats fan... mmm Moral Victories

Some of my fondest memories are from playing high school sports, and good high school memories are few-and-far-in-between. The only real problem I had with high school sports was the very fundamental that most hold in high regard--the competition.
Which brings me to being a UK fan:
It is awesome. Our basketball team flirts with being a top-25 team. There is no pressure in losing a game or two here and there and we look forward to next season with naive optimism.
We no longer face the disappointing prospect of falling short of a final four.
And our football team is consistently winning bids to the motor city bowl. Life is good.
Why would anyone want to be a Yankees fan or a Patriots fan when you can just as easily be a Twins fan or a Panthers fan? Better to be pleasantly surprised than surprisingly disappointed.
