I loathe this reasoning like it’s childhood cancer. Okay, maybe not that bad but I still hate the hell out of it. “He’s someone that will get it.” If it’s Bama football, UK basketball, etc., odds are the right names get it. There are guys who are simply not cut out for it like Gillespie in Kentucky’s case, but you can’t limit yourself to some shortlist of names just because they’ll “get it.”
