The ESPY nominations are out and I was right with my prediction on two of the nominees. The Louisville Women’s basketball team is nominated for Upset of the Year and Coach Pitino is nominated for Coach of the Year. Both the women and Coach Pitino are very deserving of these awards and you need to make sure to get over to the website and cast your votes for the ESPYs.
I still don’t understand how the men’s basketball team missed out on a Team of the Year nomination or a Game of the Year nod. Especially with Alabama getting mentioned for their football title. Was their championship team as inspirational as ours? And wasn’t that NCAA Final Four Title game one of the most watched ever? How does that get overlooked? Don’t get me wrong, I’m very proud to have Coach Pitino and the Women’s basketball team included but I do think ESPN gave us the once over by not giving our championship basketball team any recognition. They say you have to earn respect and I think our men’s basketball team did that and more last year.
As mentioned above we do have two categories to vote for so click on the link above and vote. This years ESPYs is decided by the fan vote. I’ll be watching on July 17th and will hopefully get to see our Women’s team and Coach P walk across that stage.
