Ryan Harrow regains smile, rejoins Cats.

Ryan Harrow, shoe and hipster fashion (and yes, unfortunately a skinny jean wearer) aficionado, has officially rejoined the Kentucky Basketball program as of today... and he's apparently got his smile back. Which would mean at some point, he lost it, ala Shawn Michaels...However, Harrow was outplayed by a guy who looks 16, not have his ass handed to him by a dude at a bar who probably WAS 16.

For the better part of the last two weeks, the BBN had been wondering what the deal with Harrow, who due to his lackluster play at point guard led to the birthing of the Jarrod Polson outburst and subsequent rise of his legend, was exactly. Was he going to be another Stacey Poole? Was he going to be perhaps an Alex Legion- esque footnote in the Big Blue History books?

He supposedly had the flu, an apparent particulary violent strand of which that could have led to the zombie apocalypse breaking out. He missed the Duke game. Didn't practice at all. Got on a treadmill when it was relayed to us that he was on the mend, then, he was on a plane headed to Raleigh for family matters.

We were in the dark, which is exactly where we needed to be, in this day and age of  4000 satellite news stations, message boards, Bloggers, and 1984 type invasion into everything, we have become to feel entitled that we deserve to know every thing about everything. We don't have any such entitlement, nor are we owed one.

Anyways, Harrow, depending on who happened to be within ear shot of you, was said to be buckling under the pressure of being Kentucky's point guard. He couldn't handle it. He was wanting out.

That, along with rumors that came my way from very unreputable sources of a various assortment of blow hards and self-appointed insiders thanks to a subscription to a certain public (by subscription) forum, that border on the completely moronic to borderline libel and slander issues, seems to be all over now.

Harrow is back in the Coal Bucket. He has to earn his way back onto the floor. He is smiling again, though. Take that for what ever it's worth, to you, not a message board.

I will say, Harrow being available to us against Duke could very well have been something we needed to overcome the Floppers... it just wasn't meant to be that night.



(P.S. Please, quit rooting for Louisville... even if they were playing Duke. Up until March, Duke winning only helps us, since you know, the clock malfunctioned in Atlanta and went off too soon and showed we hadn't finished winning yet... them's the breaks.)
