After the Dream Game they were driving around in Oldham County it was like Japan had just surrendered.
Most obnoxious encounter with a U of L fan?
- Thread starter FurdTerguson
- Start date
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.
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!
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'm hoping the person who posted once about his family getting yelled at by a U of L fan after our loss to Wisconsin sees this thread and shares that story. Or the guy who talked about the U of L fans pulling for UCLA in the 75 final
Was at a UK vs UL game at Freedom Hall in 2001 with a few buddies. We were sitting around a bunch of UL fans but one guy was listening to the Paul Rodgers call on his headphones. He kept giving us dirty looks and when the game was over and we had won, he gets up and points his finger at us and says something to the effect of, " Don't you EVER come in MY house again and cheer like that! EVER AGAIN!" Then gets up to leave. We laughed in his face which only made him more mad. Even other UL fans were laughing at him and were telling him to get out of here.
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.

Emery package scandal that's when my disdain For louisville really started that was brutal to take . I actually liked watching them play in the seventies and early eighties we did not play them so I did not consider them a rival after the Emery package that changed
The response to this question could redefine the word "infinite"; just about everyone could tell a story or two about their encounters with UL fans, IU fans, etc.
There are idiot fans for every fan base; some schools seem to have more than their share, UL being one of them.
Whether it be basketball, politics, religion, some people are just incapable of having a conversation.
Having had a front row seat to much during the Katrina Powell days at UL while running my maintenance company there, I seen plenty and then have UL fans say and believe the opposite of the facts was funny at first then over the years it has gotten really stale hearing these fools believe in the fantasy their coaches were innocent of any wrongdoing.
So, put me in the column with those who say any encounter with a UL fan has the high potential of being obnoxious.

For entertainment purposes only. The pendulum is swinging to Cards favor, basketball and football. Prepare yourselves accordingly
And you say we are the infatuated fan base. Do you know the meaning of the word.lol
LOL gtfo of here loser. I been hearing that crap for years. “Kenny Payne won those games!” Then last year you brought your pathetic 10 wins against absolutely no one into your own stadium thumping your chest only to get put in your place AGAIN by a middling SEC team. We play real football and basketball in our league son. Run along now.
UL-UK football game last year at Louisville.
Fans were relentless before the game flipping the bird and yelling obscenities.
That win was glorious

Louisville does nothing but lower our strength of schedule in every sport. It's still fun beating Cards though.
I've lived in Louisville my whole life and the pigeons used to run their mouths a lot back in the day. Since we've been beating their red asses on the reg, they have had nothing to crow about except for women's basketball and that one is about to swing back in our favor too.
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 😂

You conveniently had pictures of 4 cardinal centric jabs with you to access on, as needed, notice at a stop light?
You sure you may not be the crazy one if that was in fact (which isn’t) true? Just owning that fabricated thought is somewhat nuts.
Math teacher who was a UL fan. Telling me how Rupp’s UK titles didn’t count. And we only have 4 titles.
UL fans want to be seen as part of Indiana or the midwest, or something. They hate the state. A giant bunch of hipsters.
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.
There was more on the line in 2012, but the 2014 loss to UK in Indy broke U of L fans.
I had one spit on my car leaving a basketball game after a Tubby team beat them in the Hall. Total line beard tool. We had words and then he followed me down Gene Snyder or Waterson or wherever we were. I finally saw my exit and it ended in an anticlimactic fashion, lol.
I live in SC and in 2006 I was at a middle school basketball game when I saw a 70’ish year old guy in a Louisville sweatshirt. When I mentioned that I was from Kentucky and a UK fan, he began yelling that “we” injured Michael Bush purposefully. I was so shocked that he was that unhinged, that I just walked away.
