You have probably heard this song on the radio. But, have you seen the man’s face who sings it? Probably not what you expected. Anyways, it’s kind of a sweet song and the Pinkie is about much more than just hoops action and hot chicks. So check out Asher Roth’s “I Love College”.
The Pinkie Previews: N.I.T. 2nd Round – (4)Kentucky at (1)Creighton
Any thoughts that this Kentucky team might not be amped up and ready to play in the NIT were put to rest with last Monday’s 70-60 victory over the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels.
