Kentucky Fans Resort to Ruse to Embarrass Upstart Georgia Basketball
The Kentucky and Georgia basketball teams engaged in an epic hardwood battle on Tuesday night. The Big Blue Nation required more than the point difference its team could muster.

It would be funny if it were true.
The so claimed “Cheer Sheet” is a carefully cropped page from a fake newspaper given to students to hold up during starting lineups, “ignoring” the Kentucky starters. The cropping of the picture no doubt intended to give the appearance of a serious “cheer sheet”.
Following the cyber bread crumbs, it appears a Georgia student cheering for Kentucky messaged a cropped picture of the fake newspaper. It was then disseminated by twitter as a “cheer sheet.”
The notion of a Georgia student attending as a Kentucky fan is issue enough, but even at Georgia we understand the Big Blue Nation and the magnitude of its population and passion.
