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
And you say we are the infatuated fan base. Do you know the meaning of the word.lolFor entertainment purposes only. The pendulum is swinging to Cards favor, basketball and football. Prepare yourselves accordingly

Time is one hell of a variable.The cards still on that collision course?
Louisville does nothing but lower our strength of schedule in every sport. It's still fun beating Cards though.For entertainment purposes only. The pendulum is swinging to Cards favor, basketball and football. Prepare yourselves accordingly
You conveniently had pictures of 4 cardinal centric jabs with you to access on, as needed, notice at a stop light?I pulled up to a light next to a bunch of young UL students, they saw my licence plate and started giving me the Ls up. I showed them pictures of Karen Sypher Neckbrace Bobby the crying Cardinal and Katrina Powell and they shut up. They know we own their sorry ass.
UL fans want to be seen as part of Indiana or the midwest, or something. They hate the state. A giant bunch of hipsters.I grew up in eastern KY and didn’t really know much about the hate UL fans had for UK until around 1991, when I lived in Louisville for a couple years as a 18-19 year old kid, attending a trade school there and working part time at UPS sorting packages. I proudly wore my UK sweats to work and really only one person there gave me a hard time about it. He talked to me like he was trying to educate me on how UK was a racist university and one of his favorite things to say was “UL is the real university of Kentucky”
I didn’t say much back to him, I let results speak for me because UK started rolling around that time and dominated UL on the court 😂

I worked at UPS for 10 years with all kinda UofL fans, it was great because we rolled them most years. Most were under Cal’s dominate years.I grew up in eastern KY and didn’t really know much about the hate UL fans had for UK until around 1991, when I lived in Louisville for a couple years as a 18-19 year old kid, attending a trade school there and working part time at UPS sorting packages.

Love it! And yes, Hancock pushed off every single time. We used to call him Pushcock. Only way he could create space.Man this is one of my favorite uk memories as a game I went to.
My college buddy lived in indy and he put in for a lottery before the year for the s16 and elite8 thinking we would be a top seed elsewhere and would just sell the tickets.
Anyway, we were center court, not on the lower level by any means, but still awesome seats. But I remember uofl won their game first so they had access to tickets before uk fans did so there were a lot of uofl fans and in good seats but i also remember seeing all the people way beyond the curtain just to be in the building. I remember walking in and all of them acting a fool like trailer trash. We had them on both sides of us too in the stands. I remember when they got up big early on they were so rude.
Ppl talk about Harrison and Randle, but not enough credit goes to Poythress in that game. Luke "Pushoff" Hancock was going off, and Calipari had the frame of mind to take Young off off him who couldn't gaurd a log and put Alex on him. Hancock never scored again. In fact Hancock went for his signature move the pushoff and Alex simply stepped back and Hancock fell on his face.
Anyway, watching those losers pure anger at that loss was so gratifying. You could just feel their misery flow like a wave.
