Some times the "bullies" (traditional basketball powers) get hit in the mouth and don't like it; may even feel threatened! EC had a storybook season (or 3) and got some national notoriety that many bigger schools have never gotten. Obviously, it didn't sit well!

 

 

Thanks for punching us Bulldogs in the mouth at Rupp. :laugh::laugh:

Maybe (and I don't know this), Mr. Viking was speaking metaphorically (when he said "punched in the mouth"). He does go on to mention the press and national recognition. Maybe schools that accomplished more than Elliott ever did, yet were never recognized to the same degree, felt Elliott's publicity was undeserving... and maybe it was. It was just a feel-good story though.
