UT vs. UL tonight

[Kentucky15]

I have two guys I work with who are huge UL fans. They’ve been talking **** hard since the game. It’s like they don’t know how to handle a win, and have completely forgotten how seriously we own them. Then football. They are almost intolerable. So go Vols. I hope UT beats them by 30.

To me this is the thing here. If you’re around UL fans I totally get it. But that’s really the only reason any UK fan should pull for UT in any situation. It’s a unique thing I mean you deal with them. If it helps, just tell them that nobody even knows who UL is outside of a small few in Kentucky. They literally have no national recognition at all. And deep down I think they know that, it’s not like they meet UL fans anywhere outside of their region either.

 

[Kentucky15]

I have seen both sides of it. I loathe both teams and fanbases.

I lived in the Louisville metro area for 15 years, worked in Louisville proper for 3 years, and moved 3 years ago to southern Kentucky along the Tennessee border.

Cards fans are obnoxious when they beat us. I have a few friends I used to work with who are Cards fans. I haven't heard from most of them in years and likewise. As soon as the horn sounded on their win this year, one of them blew up my phone with trash-talking texts. My only reply: I know this is rare. Act like you've been there before.

Vols fans are obnoxious 365 days a year. It starts with the color and goes from there. I had the misfortune of attending every UK/UT football game from 1988-98 in both cities. A drunk adult Vols fan yelled "KENSUCKY F'N SUCKS. F KENSUCKY" at my mom and me when I was maybe 10. Every Vols fan I know talks mad trash after they beat anyone. Literally anyone. Sore losers and even worse winners.

Gun to head, go Cards, but official position is F both.

Yep. I was like you but born and raised in TN. I was born in 85 and had to deal with those years living around them. I now live in Kentucky, and the difference is pretty stark. Nothing is worse than UT. Louisville tries but nobody can beat the classless backwater bs of a Vol fan. Alabama mindset, Vandy results mainly. And they think their mouth can make it different.

Louisville is more funny to me because when I talk to one I just tell them who are you? Nobody knows, never even knew who you were. I tell them they have no brand and are headed back to mid major. I tell them they’re meaningless. It seems to work well they get extremely angry.

 

[Seth_C]

Definitely abstaining from this one. F em both equally. Lol

I’ll check the score later and be happy one of them lost. I win either way.

Tennessee fans still talk about their 98 football championship like it was yesterday. Is there any other fan base that does that?

UT by 10. Fk Lousyville.

i'm rarely around UL fans and FK UL fans all day every day 365 and a quarter. UT by a thousand.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Go Vols. I don't think this UT team is that great, but hopefully they can hand UL another loss in Knoxville.

Gonna be a good game for sure. I’d rather see UofL go down. Either is a W though. Watching the Duke game right now.

 

[Anon1751561414]

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Shew, that's a tough one. Wish they could both lose. I guess I will go with the SEC school, so if we beat TN, it may look like we are improving to the committee come seeding time.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

It’s harder when you live in Louisville, I can see how most in the state hate UT more though.

Good thing injuries don’t affect performance in any way.

Please at some point meet Tennessee fans. They are the worse fanbase in the country. UL fans don’t even get close to it. Not even close. UL is too irrelevant to care. They’re insignificant. Why care? They don’t even own their own city lol. They don’t even have a fanbase. Why hate 200 people when the natural UK rival has thousands and is universally the worst in the country? Don’t get it.

You find yourself around UT fans and you’ll change that opinion.

Worst fanbase in all of college ball.
1. Tennessee
2. Auburn
3. UConn
4. Syracuse

There’s your worst. I’ve interacted with everyone of these on the road. Personal experience. Louisville doesn’t even come close to these. Kentucky has to do special security measures when we play all of these minus Auburn. And they might with Auburn.

well bud lemme tell you this ...i've lived, worked around, played college baseball and been raised around and spent years with both fan bases and have fam that graduated in both places....**** UofFUCKING HELL. all day, every day, 24/7/365 and a quarter. generally (to be quite honest) i'd rather meet anyone in Nashville TN (esp the ladies) vs anyone in KY. that's just a fukkn fact.

 

[BlueWorldOrder]

Asking me who i want to pull for in this game is like would you rather me get punched in the stomach or kicked in the nuts
Both are too painful to decide

Where’d you play college baseball? I played also.

In from Tennessee and lived there 35+ years. Half my family went to UT half UK. Tennessee is hands down, not just according to me, but every SEC fanbase I’ve ever met, the worst. If you go ask Alabama, Florida, LSU, etc fans, they almost always say Tennessee is the worst. It’s pretty much unanimous. I actually did graduate in both of those places btw. Undergraduate in Tennessee grad at UK.

i mean this as nice as possible. Majority of UT fans are pure gutter trash. Only program and fans accepted it, to use their own daughters as hookers for athletes. That’s bad.

Kentucky? I’ve been around all fanbases since a Child. Kentucky actually has one of the nicest fanbases you’ll find. No issues on the road, no trash. South Carolina fans always talk about how nice it is coming here, as do Alabama. So that’s not true. Not at all. Georgia fans have always said as much as well. One post here who will tell it that.

I wish both could lose but I wish we had TN defense. The difference in us winning and losing will be determined on the defensive end.

 

[UKbrassowTipIn93]

Yep. We need to be push push push. I gave mark a shot, he’s not the guy right now. We should be on our run instead we’re doing training wheels why others are steadily gaining steam. The way you have to view this, is like being on a bike turning around seeing 3 F250’s hauling *** at you. Yea we had a 5 mile head start, but we need to be finding a vet and get the hell off the bike. Too many are acting like the bike is fine, we’ll go downhill at some point and gain speed. Well, that doesn’t matter. Those trucks don’t need a hill to gain speed. And we’re about to get ran over.

When you’re the greatest program all time you don’t sit back and play training wheels with your program. You have it or you don’t and if you don’t you fire. This is why Mitch has to go, he’s not the man for a job like this. And he’s creating apathy with many of our fans.

Any other blue blood but Indiana (former) in either sport would have already gotten Mitch out of that seat. Time to demand it.

Seriously tho, I just cracked up, and im not a mitch fan, at this fantasy Phil Jackson, Billy Donovan, and Brad stevens would all come running to be on staff together and take the job, or whatever

[Jesse82]

I hope the arena implodes and decimates both teams and fanbases. There, I said it.

Wow you can hate teams but wanting players and family's to die is wild

LOL. not going to say where i played....everything else that you said is all on you...and has nothing to do with what i said...

Of course we are a nice fan base...how could we talk trash or be an "unkind" fanbase?? we have no reason to be in the last what? decades?

I hate UL and yes- we have owned them. However, Kelsey will own Pope if he is here long enough.

IU basketball 1987

Dumb Domer football 1988.

 

[ORCAT]

apparently you are correct about Barnhart not being the man for the job.............but who is? Mike Pratt would have been a perfect choice for the AD spot or at least the GM position. Unfortunately, he has passed. I have no idea who could/would take the AD job and bring UIK sports back to life. Football will never win a championship, and it is likely that the basketball program will never win another title either. Calipari should have won at least 2 more titles with the talent that he had, but his inept coaching prevented this. Now, even though everyone says UK has plenty of NIL $, the product on display is mediocre at best. UK hasn't won the SEC title in how many years..........and isn't even close in talent any longer. I truly hoped that Pope would be the answer, but he clearly isn't. It is going to take a Bruce Pearl or Rick Pitino type to bring the program back to the top.

How about Goose?

 

[kyjeff1]

I’ve tried to tell many here, outside of Kentucky nobody knows who Louisville is. Nobody. They have no brand nationally and are totally forgotten. They mean nothing. not worth worrying about. But if you’re originally from the area you’ll think they’re a bigger deal then they are. Louisville is invisible.

Tennessee is our real rival nationally. Put them down like dogs. Never root for that cesspool trash program. Ever. Let little UL beat them I’m fine with that.

Duke and UNC are threats they’re national and matter. They are who we need to lose more than anyone. I’ll pull for UL over them every time. UL can’t rise, they couldn’t get it done with Pitino nobody can win there. Who cares. They are no threat to us. I sympathize with the UK guys that live in Lou and so understand their disdain, but think bigger.

So many of our fans give UL fans exactly what they want… attention. Louisville fans poke and prod and talk smack, just to get our attention and we gladly give it to them. I have never figured out why.

They aren't in the same league, we have bigger fish to fry, even in football, where UL is at least somewhat close to us.

It’s hard for me to care about Louisville football when we have to play UT, Florida, UGA and whoever the hell else they throw at us. Louisville is garbage compared to the programs we have to face.

And in basketball, we're the brightest blue blood there is, why are we getting up in arms over a lower tiered little brother commuter school? Makes no sense.

 

[gbl97]

Tennessee fans are bad. IU fans are worse.

 

[Haggin_Hall_1983]

Tennessee plays U-G-L-Y basketball. Every trip downcoart is multiple muggings on screens and blockouts. Hoping for a tie in this game!

 

[Kentucky15]

So basically you’re a Tennessee fan. lol. Way to out yourself there. And I don’t know who you’re talking to, Kentucky has absolutely manhandled your Tennessee trash for 100 years. And in football Tennessee is irrelevant. They have no sport they control and they’re owned in both.

Get your *** outa here. Bum is the right name for your trash fanbase. Selling their own daughters for recruits. Trash. You didn’t play anywhere. You never went to college. You sound like you’re from a trailer outside of Knoxville.

 

[ala_kat2]

UT pummeling U6 in the paint and they will probably do the same to us. U6 playing without Mikel Brown is hurting them immensely.

Y’all literally sold your daughters to recruits you degenerate. Tennessee wins in nothing but is universally hated in all. You’re owned like a punk in all sports yet is hated as if you have a trophy case lol. You’re trash. Gtfo. Make a final four in the next 100 years. South Carolina and MSST have a final four lol. Poverty program.

[ComebackCats98]

It’s amazing how bad UL looks without Markel Brown. I think because some freshmen struggled at the end of Cal’s tenure a lot of fans think they make no difference. If you can get one or two of the elite ones they completely change the trajectory of the team.

A team of 5-6 freshmen are not the answer, but swearing them all off isn’t either. Need at least 1 preferably 2 top 20 guys if possible.
