Oh yeah, Rectify is the ****.
Approximately 21.682%. I'm not at all a Libertarian. I like government. I like safety nets. I'd like single payer healthcare. I'd like the government to pay for college tuition. These ideas are antithetical to the Libertarian view.

Better basketball state, Kentucky or Indiana?
I think that Calipari is definitely better than Pitino as a modern era coach, which is basically all about recruiting. Pitino might be a better in game coach, but that's a lot less important than getting all the best recruits to join the team in the first place.
As far as Rupp and Wooden vs. the modern guys, the job was completely different back in the day and you can't compare them at all imo.
It's Kentucky, obviously. Indiana is all smug because Hoosiers was set there. BFD. The story of Hoosiers is the story of a small school winning the state championship, but that's not even possible in Indiana anymore. They have divided up their schools into different classes, so that Hickory High doesn't even get the chance to have their Cinderella season. Kentucky is one of the only states that still has all of their basketball teams play in one tournament, which leads to the Sweet Sixteen every year in Rupp Arena, which is awesome.
Also, in point of fact, Indiana University's basketball team is horrible, and that is funny.
