Finally, A Win For Louisville: Fan Loses His Mind After Drilling A 94-Foot Putt To Win A Bottle Of Pappy Van Winkle

I'm not going to do what you probably think I will here. I won't mock the fact that this is the loudest Louisville has been in years. How this is the first shot they've made in years. How this is the first time someone wearing red at the Yum Center is actually happy. No, that would be mean when your head coach constantly keeps telling everyone this is basically game 1 for him. Can't expect success that early, even if he's 1.5 years in and admitted to getting tricked by Mike Woodson earlier this year. That would just be mean to say.

Instead we celebrate this fan for winning a Pappy Van Winkle 15 year. It's also peak Kentucky to have this happen. Everywhere else around the country you get some cash or a new car, not here. Here you get one of the finest bottles of bourbons out there. It's the easiest way to trick us. You think anywhere else would get this reaction after drilling a 94-foot putt knowing you're getting a bottle of bourbon? 

I know he got caught up in the moment but the hat toss left a lot to be desired. Not surprised from a man wearing a Louisville red sweater, but you gotta launch that shit. Sacrifice the hat for the good of Pappy Van Winkle in a celebration. Only one other thing to do here. Extend Kenny Payne.
