Fans are usually very passionate about their teams, especially when it comes to college sports. But there is a difference between passion and ignorance. 22 year old Tyler Austin Black is a diehard Kentucky basketball fan and got a tattoo to prove it. Problem is he got a tattoo saying “2014 national Champions” but Kentucky has no shot in hell of winning the title. He even went as far as to spell the word national with “Nati9nal” which signifies that it would be Kentucky’s 9th title. He tried to put a positive spin on it saying “It’s part of my story. If we don’t win, I’ll remember it as the year so many thought we could do it and we didn’t.” Hit the jump for the pics.

Sports: One Handed High School Basketball Player Is Nice!! Gets College Offers
This is a great story. I am sure many of you have never heard the name Zach Hodskins. That could all change very soon. Hodskins, a high school senior from Georgia, was recently ranked among the best high school basketball prospects in the country, despite only being born with one hand due to a birth defect. Normally being ranked that high would mean dozens and dozens of full scholarship offers right? Well not exactly. Many coaches are still fearful of him having limited ability, even though he has proven otherwise. However, University of Florida head coach Billy Donovan, offered him a spot on the team and a chance to earn himself a scholarship, while two other schools in Alabama have already offered Zach a full ride. I hope the kid gets the chance he has earned. Hit the jump to watch him get busy on the court.
