And Alabama plays a terrible game and we play the game of a lifetime and beat them in Tuscaloosa. How far up in the rankings do we climb? How far do they fall?
Suppose the unthinkable happens
- Thread starter dyersburgcatfan
- Start date
I'd say a lot of our basketball fans will be on suicide watch. Of course I'll be happy to assist that special segment of our "fan"base with the follow-through if need be.
We climb to 100 and they fall to 3rd.
If we pulled off this massive upset, Bama would fall out of the top 10. We would probably be in the "others receiving votes" category. The sad irony is that there is a good chance that Louisville would take over the number 1 spot, if we shock the world Saturday.
Alabama could have every player on crutches, deathly ill with the flu, and we'd still lose by 3 TD's.
OR, there are still 84 players eligible to get into trouble before Saturday night.
You kidding me? Do you actually believe there are Kentucky basketball fans that would be upset if the Kentucky football team beat Alabama? What planet do you live on?
Actually I KNOW several fans like that on this site , Alabama Scout site and Facebook. Think Tennessee in the 1990s.
Earth.
I'd say you're talking about an incredibly small minority. Most of us love and support the basketball and football programs. Not sure why you'd even bring that small minority up, to be honest.

Honestly I'd like to think it's a small minority but for some reason when that segment of fans is vocal--it's like nails on a cheese grater.
I don't know man, I guess I'm just lucky because I rarely if ever hear from or run into any of those people.
I'm guessing Mitch would extend stoops somewhere between 80-100 years
So drake supports Bama football. And uk basketball.
Are Bama football fans going to act like you when they play us in basketball?

Damn dude I don't know. The title of the thread is "what if the unthinkable happens". I cited one thing that came to mind.
Here...I'll change my answer to: UK fans will revel in the streets. Done
Oh and FTR, Drake is a bandwagoning turd
Sorry, I just take it a little personal when some posters pull the stuff about UK fans only supporting the basketball team.
If they are basketball only, they are probably not reading football boards or posts.
I remember the last time we beat Alabama, and it was a great feeling. I'm realistic though, and realize if the unthinkable happened and we somehow upset them, it would be one of the biggest upsets of the decade, hell, maybe the century.
That is funny right there. I get what you mean, not sure if others do.:fistbump:
I know a great deal of Kentucky basketball fans that are bigger fans of Alabama football than Kentucky football. I would venture to say even the majority of fans I know fit this mode.
Hell I hate it to, but we have a large fan base and some will wear Royal Blue and Crimson. Crimson especially if Bama is poised to win an MNC. They'll go to any length to cheer on whatever team to a NC. IDK why in the hell there are fans like that, but they can all self-anal and combust.
I used to want Alabama to win sometimes. Especially, when they played Tennessee or Ohio State or Notre Dame. That was because of Bear Bryant. Since so many people now want to say Saban is better than Bryant, I pull against them, because they are coming in our state and taking our most needed recruits.
Suppose Martians land on the White House lawn on Tuesday November 8? That means America will be saved from the worst election in its history. I am keeping my fingers crossed . . .
Both sides can be a pain but I doubt that any suicide watch will happen. For me, I can't understand how you can't be fans to both.
You can't associate a personal relationship with Cal as a sign that fans don't back the football team. Drake is more of a fan of Cal.
Well they don't seem to hang out here.
They drop to 13th. We move into "others receiving votes." Stoops gets a short-term reprieve pending the outcome of the season as a whole. If we go onto win 6+, he is the HC who hung in there and saw tough times through....Bama is truly a signature win. If we collapse in the second half of the season and win five or less, the big win will be only a bright spot in another disappointing season.
GBB!
GBB!
There are other teams I'll watch from time to time-but all the SEC teams NOT named Kentucky can get pumped
And they can get pumped to. Now if someone likes uk all sports ...then let's [cheers]
