Fan Etiquette on the Road

[Logan Sackett]

The only away venue I have been to as far as UK goes...Back in the day we used to get tickets from a big hardware Distibutor in Knoxville, and we would get 4 tickets to the UK Tenn basketball game. Nothing but good times around good people at that time. This was the early to mid 90s. The only game that stands out in my mind was a loss we had while Allen Houston was playing. after the game their fans were pumped up and rightfully, so they beat a good UK team that year. I think we returned the favor a couple weeks ago at the SEC tournament.
However, I did travel a lot back in the Roy Kid days at EKU. We went to WKU, Morehead, Austin Pea, Murray and several other places I can't remember. We always had a great time and never had any issues with other fans. Yeah, occasionally we would get a little rowdy but never disrespectful to other team's fans. We were kids at the time, and it seemed no matter where we went, we ran into EKU alum who were great to get acquainted with.

When you guys travel on the road to watch UK play, what kind of etiquette do you employ?

Do you aggressively cheer for UK? Are you more laid back (even though you are going crazy inside, you don't want to go overboard and offend the home crowd)? Do you have good conversations with the opposing fanbase, or just keep to yourself? Do you try to stir up problems (especially if UK is dominating), or always play the nice guy?

Curious to hear what etiquette you employ on the road...

Tough to be loud and obnixous when getting the crap beat out of you.

Worst road environment of my life was the game after Noel went down with a season-ending injury. The next game was @Tennessee. We lost by about 30 points. Tennessee fans were all around me, maniacally screaming and going nuts. It was the worst.
