I'm a duke fan living in WNC but my mom is from evarts in Harlan county and my papaw who passed away March 2012 was a HUGE wildcat fan.. Anyway I like to rag all my kentucky family but usually come tourney time as long as Uk isn't playing duke I pull for em! (I'm prob a rare breed lol) anyway just wanted to get a feel for where the posters here are from!

I live in Cookeville, TN, by way of Johnson City, TN, by way of Dallas, TX. HOWEVER, my parents and grandparents are all from Bowling Green and Hardinsburg, KY, so I grew up right!

Rag them for what? UK is the vastly superior program at present, and historically. I guess you are talking about making fun of them for non-basketball stuff because 8>4 is something even a Duke can can understand mathematically.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

It is a period of civil war. Rebel
spaceships, striking from a hidden
base, have won their first victory
against the evil Galactic Empire.

During the battle, rebel spies managed
to steal secret plans to the Empire's
ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an
armored space station with enough
power to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents,
Princess Leia races home aboard her
starship, custodian of the stolen plans
that can save her people and restore
freedom to the galaxy....

I'm from Hazard, Ky. I now live in Colorado Springs and Yuma, Arizona. My loyality is with UK, my Coach is Adolph Rupp. Was at UK in 50-55 Engineering. I don't think UK should schedule any Kentucky schools. I believe as Adolph, it divides the fan base.I've never seen a good loss but some loses will come.

This city is wonderful, and as an educational institution the university is a good university. But I am most definitely a Kentucky basketball fan all the way

He's a Duke fan. He is probably crying because of the ND game now. Duke off to its worst ACC start in like 19-20 seasons...ouch.

No reason to be a jerk man? Just making talk.. And rag them because in my lifetime and my coming of age duke has been superior.. Family fun I was trying to be friendly u didn't return the favor. People like you are the reason kentucky fans have such a bad name.. I expect a response like that from a carolina fan but not you..

just off I-75...Big Blue galaxy(pictured in my avatar) equipped with a fully functional Big Blue DEATH STAR with enough power to destroy entire blue blood programs(or whoever)...protected by a truly impenetrable defensive shield unlike the one in that far, far away galaxy. ....or...Lexington.

Your mom is from Kentucky and you're a Duke fan? To reference the Hebrew Bible, at least Esau got a bowl of stew for his birthright. You got Wojo.
