Jorts - We Shall Miss Thee

Sure, your dad has worn Jean Shorts your entire life (and LOVES them). Well one fateful night in 2005 I was informed that despite the example my father portrayed, Jorts were not cool. Well, in 2010 Jorts became cool again. No I don't mean the knee length denim on white guys (face it, it isn't a bad look on other ethnicities), I mean Josh Harrellson. Josh, or Jorts as he has become so affectionately known in Kentucky Basketball circles, has become an endearing figure.

Full accepting his role as a JUCO transfer, he played infrequently in his first two seasons as a Wildcat. But this year, he has stepped up big for the team and tonight his tenure as a Cat will be appreciated and celebrated. It is Senior Night and Josh is the only senior.

Josh has embraced his role as garbage man and doing so scooped up 6.6 points, and 8.9 rebounds. He has put a face less Louisville to line beards and is to Jean Shorts what Halle Berry is to Cover Girl. He is a cornhole champion in the non-Rick Pitino way, and former Twitterer. He is a Kentucky Wildcat and will forever be held in high esteem and short denim. He is Josh Harrellson - Jorts and tonight is the last night you will see him take the Rupp court.
