Butler update

Surely you realize that we give as well as we receive, so don't try to paint the hate one sided. I think some fans of both teams get carried away. There are too many serious life issues to deal with to lose your mind over an athletic event. This should be something to shift your focus for a little while away from more serious life issues. Some of you act as if this is the only serious issue in your life. If this is the case, you should be really loving life right now because real stressful life issues are just around the corner.

I agree that Tennessee is the best rival right now. But the hate for Louisville is still in large numbers for the Kentucky fan base and always will be
If this is actually real - that bettors know the status of our PG before anyone else - then it solidifies my belief that insider gambling is alive and real. Who would leak this and how on earth would this somehow make its way to the gambling masses? Someone that's an insider gambler? Speculative on my part, but it's sure strange that we lost 3 pts on the spread in such a short time knowing we have a 50/50 go/no-go on Butler.
Or, is it more true "gambling" speculation that people are assuming he won't go, so they're piling money against the spread. Probably more likely this is the case, but a leaker is always a possibility.
It’s an overused quote from a movie that came out over 45 years ago. It is way past its freshness date.
You are correct, but I don't have to live in Louisville to be familiar with the level of hate some Kentucky fans have for Louisville. I just don't believe a sporting event is serious enough to hate someone over it. Do I love it when UK beats them? I don't have the words to describe the feeling. However, I keep in in its proper perspective.
Chill, dude. Just talking a little game day smack. Lighten up.
Did you bump your head or something? You and others who are acting as if the outcome of this game is life or death are the ones who should chill.
Whatever happens i just hope he doesn't reaggravate the injury. Play, don't play, win, lose.. we need him for March. If he's ready, then play him. But if there's any doubt I'd much prefer he sits.
Hope were not putting too much emphasis on beating our rival, as opposed to being healthy for March

pilgrim just had a update that said butler went through shoot around and wants to play but the staff is being extra cautious because of how thin they are at PG. It’s up to the coaching staff if he plays today.
Hell even if we get 8-10 minutes out of him without further injury, it'll be better than nothing.
If he doesn't start and it's a struggle early, I think we have to roll the dice and get him in there. Even if just for limited minutes.
Dang, I thought we were cool.
Looks like I need to get some new material.
The question is, why do UK fans hate Louisville? It's not because they're good.
Is it because their fans act like jealous little brothers that do everything possible to get our attention?
From now on, you are on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!
I’m not from Kentucky and didn’t grow up a UK fan, so I have none of the historical baggage informing my opinions. But I’ve never encountered a fan base that was hostile the way Louisville fans at large are hostile to us. I greatly dislike them for that reason.
To make a comparison, I’ve never had an unpleasant interaction with a Duke fan or a Dallas Cowboys fan in real life. I can’t bring myself to dislike them the way I dislike Louisville for that reason.
That's my point, if they're going to act like that, don't play them, we have bigger fish to fry. They gain prestige by playing us, what do we gain?
If you want to stick it to UL fans, don't play them, that will piss them off, because they need UK, we don't need them.
I know what you mean but I think these vitriolic rivalries add to college sports. We’re all better off having games like this, whether they involve us or not.
I have been around Louisville fans. I have been around (way too much) Tennessee fans. For my money, it's not close. Tennessee fans are far and away the most insufferable. I'm old enough to remember Ernie and Bernie and Ray Mears. They low down dirty snitches.
I don't see ANY sign that his ankle is still a problem. He's even doing that little Griddy dance!!!
Hopefully Coach Pope is playing up the fact that he MAY not be available.
I was going to get into my old Porky's stuff, guess I'll save that for another day.
Because Vegas has spies everywhere. Some gambler who in in deep, or someone who gets paid to leak information. They do everything they can for the advantage. Honestly it’s like the stock market. You have those in the know and inside traders and the poor saps who lose everything because of it. Then our representatives do nothing about it because they get the same information. My biggest concern in the refs because we all know how they can affect any outcome they want. One high profile NBA guy already was caught and they just so happened to shut down the investigation into anyone else. Offered high paying jobs to the Guys investigating it.

It’s never out of style brother. Especially for the younger crowd.
That's cool, but if their fans are going to act like idiots…
Look at IU, they STILL celebrate that Watford shot, but ignore how UK took them out in the tournament that year. F that, we dropped them, as we should have and they hate it.
I'm seeing UL fans in basketball discussions, just leaving "42-14" responses. They win one game and they act like complete idiots. They act like little bros that just discovered hair on their peaches and think they're men now.
And on top of that, the extreme silence when we are successful. I had a friend (God rest his soul) that only talked basketball when the Cats lost. Possibly much like this board that blows up after losses.
The weird thing is, even when they lose badly, dome of them still talk smack. It's crazy.
