Though couch burning as celebration originated in Ohio, or perhaps West Virginia or some other state, one thing is certain: UK Wildcat basketball fans have stolen the ritual for themselves. I have never burned anything because of a game, let alone a couch, but now I can’t pass a piece of furniture on the curb without seeing it on fire. I’m sure I’m not the only Lexington citizen to suffer from this. The Wildcats remain undefeated right now. It’s a given that a couch – probably many couches and chairs and love seats maybe even a cop car – will die during the NCAA tournament whether they win the title or not. That’s just how things have turned here in The Bluegrass. Couch burning season in Kentucky approacheth. Meanwhile, I’ll remain safely in my house on my non-flammable couch enjoying iced tea, cheering them on (the Wildcats, not the couch burners).
