After leaving Lexington, I have lived in Nashville (UT country) and currently St Louis (Mizzou AND KU). I honestly find the KU fans worse than both other SEC teams combined.
Who here has done time...
- Thread starter SemperFiCat
- Start date
Same here, growing up only 5min from TN. I had only met 1 UL fan until I went to college at WKU (just 30 miles away). A lot of Jefferson County kids go to WKU (or used to).
And the past 30 years I've lived in PA or NC (2 & 28), I've met maybe 3-4 UL fans those 30 years.
The largest group of UL fans in Kentucky outside of Louisville is in Eddyville, residents of the Kentucky State maximum Department of Corrections.
I have lived in Pennsylvania (less that 1 hour from Philly) for the past 17 years, and I openly wear my Kentucky gear without any problems. I even have a UK license plate on the front of my new car and a Kentucky Wildcat frame around my rear license plate. I occasionally will get some ribbing from a Villanova fan, but not often at all. I do see other people in Kentucky gear pretty often, which I think is awesome!

We vacationed in Wisconsin Dells in 2015. I wore UK stuff. I figured I would catch some grief the other way but nobody said anything to me.
My 2 oldest daughters, one is a big UK fan (oldest) and the younger is UL fan. (where did I go wrong?") The younger does root for the Cats whenever they play any team except UL.
