There Are A Million Reasons #14 Troy Will Upset #3 Kentucky, But Troy's Coach Only Recruiting Kids Who Love Waffle House Is Reason #1

March is all about coaching, and Troy's coach Scott Cross has IT. You need a coach who is going to develop a culture, and there may be no better culture than what the Trojan's have around their program. If you don't like Waffle House, hit the bricks, you're not welcome here. Nothing says mental and physical toughness like the southern staple - Waffle House. Not only will putting the chili over your food give you a cast iron stomach, but going into a Waffle House after 11pm develops the ultimate alertness. Keep your head on a swivel or you're scrappin' you're way out. DAWGS only in THE HOUSE. It's hearing things like this Waffle House rumor that make me love #14 Troy upsetting #3 Kentucky tomorrow in the NCAA Tourney. Which would be HUGE because Klemmer and I picked Troy in the Barstool Experian Bracket Busters Challenge for a chance to win $40,000 #ExperianBusters. 

When you get stuck picking in the middle of the pack, you have to get a little creative with your selection. We saw the path, and that's why we picked Troy. The Waffle House stat might hold more weight than this random twitter account saying there is a 42% chance a 14 seed upsets a 3 seed, but I have to respect it. Kentucky doesn't play defense well, and UK is banged up. But you know Kentucky is going to show out for this game despite it being in Milwaukee. You've got Mark Pope paying to fill Kentucky fan's gas tanks so they can make the 7 hour drive. 

Respect to Mark Pope, but he's going to need more than a loud crowd of people to rattle these tough as nails Troy Boys. Klemmer and I are so close to winning the $40,000 I can taste it, and it is going to taste just as good as some smothered hash browns from my favorite breakfast establishment. Go Troy.
