There's a reason bandwagons work, everyone wants to be a part of something. Everyone wants to feel part of a group. You have the "twilight" bandwagon, the "Modern warfare 2" bandwagon (Don't get me started) and lastly (and most recent) you have the "Kentucky Basketball" bandwagon.
There have always been KY basketball fans (ask my mom, shes been one since they had to use fire to light the stadium instead of electricty), but nothing irks a true fan more (AKA anyone who still knows who Prince is) than people jumping on their bandwagon. For the past 10 year or so KY basketball has been relatively uneventful...a few wins here, a lot of losses here, nothing too revoultionary. Then whats his name comes along, Gilepsky or calipari or whoever is coaching those boys this week, and the Cats start winning every game...all of the sudden everyone and there mother is a UK fan. For the record I'm not a UK fan but my Mom is. I started to write a real life equivilent of this, but there really isnt one...nothing is as infuriating to me...EDIT: Something just happened that was equally infuriating, in a sweet kinda way. My girlfriend decided to send me well i dont know how many number of texts because my phone just crashed upon receiving like 531287437962184 of them. Hope she wasnt expecting a response.
on the positive side it was very thoughtful and courteous.
