Always a Wildcat... but for the next four years I'll be cheering for the Purdue Boilermakers (in addition to my Cats) now that my son has been accepted into their engineering program.
Cheering for a New Team

Congrats for your son.
Congratulations. They seem to be trying to make something happen. That should be a nice change of pace.
Nothing wrong with that. Now if you said Duke or loserville then…yikes.
Congrats, I was thinking about cheering for Bellarmine but has anyone noticed they have had an off year?
Congratulations to YOU and your son. I know you are proud of him.
If my son actually played for another team and they played UK I would show up in a UK shirt and go tell the bench, "my boy favors his left, make him go right. Can't shoot on the move. Go CATS!"
😄

I just naturally focus my attention to my other teams. Jets are making some good moves, Houston Rockets are finally out of the basement in the NBA. I will be watching more of those games than I will be of Kentucky, until Cal actually proves he's made the right changes.
I'm all in on JMU.
Wife, kids and I go to Mcgaheysville, VA nearly every fall for vacation. About 20 minute drive to Harrisonburg. Love the area and some good restaurants. It is during football season and they have some great support for program.

As a Purdue alum and lifelong UK fan, I will say this is my favorite Purdue team ever. The offense is a well-oiled machine. It's a likeable group of guys too.
Congrats to your son.

Congrats to your son man. That's a heck of an achievement.
He loved the visit there, but I'm just a little nervous. He tells me he wants to get his pilots license there while he works on an aerospace degree. Flying scares me, so I told him to never let me know the days that he is going up.
Congratulations to your son. That’s a great achievement.
Hahaha this was good. I feel the same way, "You people are crazy"
Well, I guess you must not. It's a parent thing.
Why do ANY of us cheer for a team? Might be fun to go to a game or see my son in the stands (though he would probably rather be working on some research than attend a sporting event). Connection to a child who is going away. A strange question for me as a parent, but happy to answer.
UK all the way. Maybe he could score me some Purdue tickets in the student section for the championship game. I swear, I could hold my own.
I promise you, no one here is a die hard Uk fan because their family member attended UK for academics.
You can cheer for who you choose, I get to choose how I view you as a fan from this point forward. 😬
Calipari would probably hear you and give the following instructions:
"Just do the complete opposite, are you gonna listen to some random Benny instead of a Hall of Famer? Sag off the kid or force him to drive left!"

Fine to cheer for an additional team, especially when it’s your kid’s school. Like I cheer for UC and Wright State. But when you say you’re cheering for a new team, it sounds like you’ve abandoned UK. And that’s not cool.
I would do the exact same thing. I'm not kidding.
No way... just thought it was a provocative title (especially considering the last few days on here). ALWAYS a Wildcat.
Congrats to your son.
Still would never root for another team but I’m also 5’7 and drink too much bourbon. Go Cats!

As would I and most normal, properly socialized American adults. There are clearly a few people in this thread that got socialized by the internet and it shows. People coming together and celebrating the successes of their children is something people have done for centuries.
To the OP: congrats to your son. That is a huge accomplishment and I know you’re proud of him. May God continue to bless you and your family.
