KENTUCKY- LOUISVILLE FB-BB Series

[TOMCATS1990]

Why not make it a huge weekend for the State of KY and play the basketball game on Friday Night and then the football game on Saturday same city same weekend alternating between Lexington and Louisville. I personally think it would be great and create a lot of hype and buzz for both programs and intensify the rivalry.

Don’t wanna play UofL in basketball in November. Just personal preference.

I would love it. Or have the football game in one city, basketball the other. Either way it would be great.

You could play both early Dec. or my choice Thanksgiving Weekemd.

Noooooooope

UK football has done more than damn enough propping them up since 1994

UK football interest & excitement is at modern time high. We don't need to drag them along in any way, in any sport, at any time. They are an ACC program, they ought to not need us for anything.

"Good for the whole state", heard that crap enough March 2013, don't ever need to hear it ever again trying to guilt trip UK fans to cheer that outlaw band of thieves.

Can’t be in early December, silly. We’re gonna be a staple in Atlanta as the SEC East champs (first Sat. in December)! The West don’t want none of Stoops’ smoke!

 

[K_TIME]

It’s their super bowl…not ours

why play the basketball game way early? Heck out players barely know each iothrr by thanksgiving

why gift up a great Saturday home game .,,/and move to Friday …we’ve screwed our season tix holder enough

I’ve not heard one good argument for UK to consider this

I don't want to play their FB team then either. September for both, if at all.

 

[Ky grandpa]

"NO"!!!!!!!! I hate them so bad I don't like playing them at any time... Gives them to much pub and I don't want UK to be a part of that crap... Just stick with the way it is now or not at all, which is what I vote for...

Why do we insist on helping them seem relevant? Quit playing.

 

[WildcatofNati]

I concur with those who want to eliminate them altogether from the schedule. If we're going to have but one P5 non- conference game a year, it shouldn't be the same team every year.

 

[KYWC36]

Louisville should stay on the schedule - whether they are good or not they are our natural rivalry and the schedule works well as it is, which is playing them during rivalry week. It gets more hype for all parties and the league schedule is over usually. I never understood why we ever played them so early. UK is on a run right now but if history holds, Louisville will be back and it will suck ever losing to them again

 

[CB3UK]

I'd rather rotate Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia Tech on to the schedule for home and home.

If you give Cal the option he'll have us playing Louisville in a neutral site game at Land Between the Lakes.

 

[Tskware]

I have a better idea, a 2 game baseball series as part of the early kickoff to baseball season, like Clemson South Carolina do, probably others as well. Maybe the week before the SEC starts, so each team can throw weekend starters. If the weather is good (iffy in mid March, I know) would draw really really well.

 

[OnUK]

No. Big piece of what makes it what it is, is the buildup.

 

[The-Hack]

I see no reason to give national football commentators yet another excuse to talk about basketball during our premiere ass-whooping of U of L in football season.

This idea ranks up there with “wouldn’t it be cool to play Duke/North Carolina/Indiana in a Bowl game.”

Hearing 3 hours of basketball bullish!t pretty much ruined basketball for me: keep it out of football!!

 

[Swimcat20]

Whatever the dates we'll wipe of the field and the court with their loudmouth, miserable, pathetic, third rate Junior college, lying, cheating, crybaby ass.

Agreed.

Don't want to hear about football during the basketball games either.

Make it Thanksgiving weekend and Friday/Saturday. I'd be all for that.
