After the Dream Game they were driving around in Oldham County it was like Japan had just surrendered.
I once had dinner with several UofL family members a few blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium before the 2014 Sweet 16 game in Indy. Of the 14 or so people at the table I was 1 of maybe 3 UK fans. So we were badly outnumbered. “Smug” would probably be the best adjective to describe their mood. There was the usual friendly smack talk but it just seemed edgier/ruder that night. They were confident UofL was going to win. I kindly reminded everyone Julius Randle beat them during the regular season and was the best player on either team. I think they were favored by 4 points? It wasn’t much. You would gave thought this was David vs. Goliath with how they thought about our team. A team that already beat them. I walked away from that dinner wanting that game more than maybe any other game with the exception of a national championship. I don’t know if I’ve ever cheered harder at a sporting event. One of my all-time favorite UK wins which is why I reference it so much on this board.After the Dream Game they were driving around in Oldham County it was like Japan had just surrendered.
One of Cal's finest moments. He's calm, cool and collected while Pitino is screaming at every player that comes off the floor.I once had dinner with several UofL family members a few blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium before the 2014 Sweet 16 game in Indy.

Beating them was made even sweeter because one of my family members agreed to give us his Elite 8 tickets if UK won. He didn’t answer his phone for a few days afterwards so we had to buy tickets from a scalper for the Michigan game. Lol!
And you're here. Why?Wow. Never seem a fan base so infatuated with their rival. SMDH
