I’m sure Pope will tinker as well, but you know us here in BBN, we hate it when we lose in the Blue-White Game! LOL!
Purdue/UK exhibition at Rupp
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Braden Smith takes off his warm-up and has a Kentucky uniform on. The ultimate cross.

Literally no downside. You win, you feel good about beating other top teams when it counts. You lose, you got to measure yourself against a top team and it doesn’t count. Still waaaay more exciting than any exhibition and might even sell out Rupp. Weather might still be ok too.
Why an exhibition? Might as well make it a regular season game imo.
Easier to schedule an exhibition. Earlier in the season, easier to get a time slot on SECN or B10N, etc.
Does it? How? Not disagreeing, just curious how you see the benefits of it. I’ve run this level before, I’m not setting you up for discourse, just respect your opinion a bit.
How does playing the number 1 team in the nation not help you?
As a first year student at Purdue, I wore full UK gear around campus that day. Wouldn't you know it, I happened to pass Brad Miller. Just looked at me. Then me and a buddy drove up to Chicago to watch the game that night.
Usually some schools donate the revenue from exhibitions to some big time charity. I think that is what Michigan State did with the revenue in their TN exhibition a couple years back. We may be doing the same, not sure though.
So they did away with the no crowd and no TV for these summer exhibition games against other NCAA teams?
Saw this in the wild and it was the first I'd heard of it. Didn't see it on the board, so I figured I'd toss it down.
UK Athletics seems to confirm. Will be a fun home exhibition. I hope they change the venue to Memorial Coliseum. Rupp is always great, though.
Wouldn't you have Aberdeen at the 2g and Oweh at sf?
I would take Aberdeen and Oweh over Cox and Loyer.
2 and 3 are interchangeable. Both are good defenders. I put the slightly taller Aberdeen on Loyer and Oweh on the smaller Cox.
I agree, I think Memorial with only students would be a great idea.
Sure, but this will no doubt be at Rupp and part of the season ticket package (just like previous exhibition games). UK is not going to lose out on the money generated by a game at Rupp. At least this one will be interesting for the season ticket holders, and they will also likely sell out the rest of the upper level tickets due to the marquee opponent.
Exhibition? The winner will kick themselves that it doesn't count in too 10 wins and strength of schedule.
I thought we only played them once during the 1997 season
I used the hell out of that site, First Row Sports and NFL Reddit Streams to watch the Bengals when I used to live out of the market.
Thrilled to see Pope doing something different for Kentucky Basketball and playing marquee opponents in an exhibition game.
I totally agree after reading the new rules on scrimmages. It appears we can have two of these games which definitely enhances the season ticket package. Also, we can have two off campus exhibition blue/white games, that would be a great opportunity to take those on the road to other parts of the state.
