I just hope Pretty Boy Satt never finds another job and UL is stuck recruiting 250# linemen for the rest of eternity.
Basketball is cool. But what I reallllllly enjoy is flipping the football script and ascending to a level of REAL SEC while Louisville is absolute embarrassing division 2 dog shit. UL really hung their hat on football because we were so bad at it, and now they have nothing.

I would like nothing more than for UofL to get back to a nice little city college when it comes to sports. Hell, someday it might even be enjoyable to go down to that stadium near the fairgrounds on a crisp, fall Tuesday night to watch them play Cincinnati or Memphis. We could root on some local kids that, after a year or two, could transfer to UK to provide some needed depth for our guys who left early for the NFL.
-not that much older than most of you(48)...but there is definitely a difference in my perception. Indiana was *the* rival in bball in the 80's and 90's.
-also as 80 said living amongst birdgang has led you Louisville folk to overestimate their effect on those of us that don't have to deal with them on the reg.

^also...don't get it twisted I *loathe* UL athletics...I just don't think about them that much
I love University of Kentucky Athletics and everyone else can eat shit/dicks and go to hell.
A few down years on Floyd Street and the Lexingtonians act like they're above it all when it comes to the UofL rivalry.
Lolz. It's fine. All in our media controlled heads, I guess.

And obviously the Lexington folks believe UNC-Duke is the best rivalry in college basketball then. Not much thought given to UofL as it turns out.

I’ll tell you this, there was a three-year run in the mid-90’s when I hated Arkansas as much as I’ve ever hated Louisville, Duke, Tennessee, IU or UNC.
Good grief.
I LOATHE UL with the heat of a thousand suns but can recognize:
* Denny Crum was a heckuva coach who won 2 titles and took UL to six Final Fours. UL has arguably the 6th best program of all time when you factor titles, Final Fours, facilities, fan interest and overall tradition and passion. The rivalry in the 80’s was red hot.
* Other than Austin they operate in a market that is probably the largest metro area in the country without a major league franchise and they do have enough corporations and plenty of wealthy boosters willing to contribute real money to the athletic department. That’s the main reason they have sparkling facilities and it actually forced UK to quit living off their laurels do a major overall upgrade.
They will never have the overall prestige in basketball that Kentucky has but to act like they’re going to be the metro version of WKU is nonsense that reeks of being an ill formed bumpkin.

I listen to Louisville sportstalk radio exclusively. TS. It’s so awful that I like it. Deener, then Sweeney/Lach, Valvano, and Jason Anderson on the drive home.
I mean, your sort of all over the place on this issue. The only thing you are consistent at is overrating anything Louisville related.
Pulling up years old posts is pretty much a bitch move, imho.
-we need the colonels back, gang. Hopefully tomma didn't **** that up forever.
-heres the difference: crum was/is a good man, hard to hate. bobby knight is/was human sewage...and I hate that mother****er.
-since the turn of the century uavel has been our biggest rival.

You're a bitch IMO
I don't know what the point of that was, but in this rivalry I've been angry, my friend. I've been really angry. I've been confused and hopeless at times, like a ship lost at sea desperately interested in finding any safe harbor. If what you've shared indicts me of anything, it's that I've sought refuge and guidance from my internet friends at times when I had nothing else.
And that's what makes a rivalry great.

I mean sorry I don't listen to GD Michael Bennett, man.
-to me(us),no. Pretty subjective, though.
My guess on tv ratings (since we don't really have a single poster on this entire thread worth a damn that knows jack squat about this sort of thing)....
- Duke-UNC is the #1 ratings draw in college basketball overall
but
- Louisville and Lexington's college basketball watching ratings are off the charts overall, and particularly for the UK-UofL game, when basically 100% of both markets are watching that game
Nobody is more obsessed with college basketball than the Commonwealth. That's what kind of skews this discussion. Across all 50 states, Duke-UNC is the biggest rivalry, but Kentucky is so bonkers about the sport that it's not even close from a "real" fans perspective.

Just catching up here, but UL has a coach indicted for trying to extort them? Christ!
I don’t think it can be stated how embarrassing the look of that is.
Seriously, that’s insane!
- UL is our top rival, and it isn’t just in Louisville.
It might not mean the same for those outside of Jefferson county, but that doesn’t change it from being a fact!
Granted it has been lopsided for a few decades now where Pitino owned them, Tubby for all his struggles owned them and Cal has also owned them. But past that we beat them at a 70% clip!
I’ve hated UNC, IU, Arky, and TN as bad as I’ve ever hated anything in my life during periods, but absolutely nothing brings me joy as much as beating UL and keeping that little brother big university wannabe syndrome alive!

Duke and UNC fans have never had to endure the immense pressure of having the rivalry collide when it truly matters the most, the NCAA Tourney. So they can eff themselves.
"Squirt to the ceiling" and "down my leg."
Just incredible. Still.
Just incredible. Still.
As the kids say today INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS…
Just another Sweet 16 in Lexington. Didn't think much of it, but suppose it's subjective.
If you’re not from Louisville or ever lived in Louisville then you can’t POSSIBLY . . .
Same town where an adult’s second sentence when meeting you for the first time is “so what high school did you go to,” right?
Yeah, I think we get it.

That’s the same shit-offense we still run but with a TON of talent.
Freaking Poythress and Johnson.

Hope you enjoyed your last Pat's visit, pal.

Party foul. Shenanigans. Bullshit. Too many specific details sweetheart. Learn lying.
Catholics, sheesh. I guess if priests aren't around y'all take matters into your own hands. Dougan boys say thank God for Martin Luther.
I was drinking last night and being contrary. Mingione is butt.
