University of Louisville head basketball coach Rick Pitino didn't have much to say following his team's latest loss to arch-rival Kentucky, the seventh loss out of eight games since John Calipari arrived in Lexington.

>>>>>>>>>>After the University of Kentucky's magnificent basketball team lost its first game of the season -- a classic battle ending with a 4 point loss to Michigan State -- the silly "Forty & Oh" chant was erased. But now those shirts are being scooped up by UK's opponents to mock the Big Blue. Every time Coach John Calipari says to his loyal UK fan base, "You people are crazy!"
