Umm, we’re still Kentucky, not Bama or Georgia, not even Tennessee, LSU, or Auburn. No power 5 school gets relevance from beating us. Y’all sound like you’re scared of UL. This is the only fanbase that runs from rivalries.Drop them. The game literally means the world to them and is their best ticket to relevance. We should stop throwing them that life preserver and let them sink.
Schedule another annual home game to increase revenue
Our annual home schedule will be far more varied and difficult beginning, 2024.Why play a rivalry game when you can play a MAC school. Fun!

UL will never agree to that. They believe we are equals, and their false pride will never allow that kind of a concession. If the idea was introduced in a negotiation, they would leak it and try to use it as bulletin board material.While UK needs the easy win, the only way I'd continue to play the game is by playing 3 of 4 years in Lexington. UK needs the home games.
Drop we should not play mid majors.What say you?
The day U of L lines up a schedule of Texas, Texas A & M, Oklahoma, Bama, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and LSU, is the day I will give a damn what they or anyone else thinks about Kentucky’s scheduling priorities in the new world we are in.Y’all sound like you’re scared of UL. This is the only fanbase that runs from rivalries.
The Louisville political folks would go for it. I doubt they could muster a state-wide legislative majority on the issue.If we drop them, how many years before the state legislature mandates we have to schedule them like basketball?
There have been multiple fights/brushups for every U of L game.Playing another MAC team isn't gonna save us in the grand scheme of the season and isn't going to help UK win the SEC.
North Carolina, 1990?We played a power 5 school OOC not named Louisville or Indiana 33 years ago.
I'd present it as "take it or leave it" then it's on them. It's time UK does something for themselves.UL will never agree to that. They believe we are equals, and their false pride will never allow that kind of a concession. If the idea was introduced in a negotiation, they would leak it and try to use it as bulletin board material.
Besides, it just isn't worth it. UK gets nothing out of playing UL except for an opportunity to lower ourselves to their level.
I’ve gotten something out of every time we’ve beat UL. What do we get from beating MAC schools? Just say you’re scared to lose to little brother.We really get nothing by beating them. If we win, we are in the SEC so it's expected. If we lose, we lost to a second tier ACC school. It's not really a benefit to us to play them
Yes.but I’d much rather see a game in Austin or Norman vs a storied program than Louisville.
98 percent of the college football world could give-a-sh!t who our little brother is, but most know our traditional slot in the SEC. Of the 2 percent who give-a-sh!t, half know the crimes upon which their limited successes were built, and hold them in slightly in less contempt than they do Penn State.Just say you’re scared to lose to little brother.
No one except people living near the I-64 corridor can seriously believe anymore that Kentucky-Louisville is actually a "rivalry" in any realistic sense. The networks obviously do not think it is. Jeff Brohm can possibly lift Louisville out of the ACC basement, but he cannot make a real "rivalry" out of Kentucky-Louisville. The best he can do is maybe pull off an unexpected upset once in a while in years when Kentucky has too many injuries late in the season. When it comes to the primary goals of Kentucky's football program, playing Louisville cannot do anything for Kentucky.gotta keep em. sports are good in large part because of rivalries, tradition, and history. trying to game out more wins makes for an emptier experience. winning just one more game a year won't make up the difference.
i hated it when cocky uofl fans were floating this type of thinking a decade ago, and i hate it now too (not saying op is cocky uk fan to be clear).

Could it hurt recruiting?
Then take away their stick, and let them tussle with Boston College, UVA, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and the rest of the P5 imitators.in reality UK is ul's measuring stick
they consider progress not getting blown out by UK
Actually, this has changed, and I do not think they play Clemson next year.2. UL will play Clemson, FSu, Wake, NC St, Syracuse, and Boston College as permanet
There is none, short of a grade-school-ish concern about “what they will say about us.”Please tell me the logic.
LOL at help them. How on Earth did beating them 6 bazillion to 12 over the last 4 years help them. Y’all have John Calipari injected into you where you don’t believe in tradition rivalries and competition.1. UK will be playing 9 games with probably TN, Vandy and USC/Mizzou as 3 permanent....then 6 more games with possibilities of OK, UGA, Bama, LSU, Florida, Texas AM, Texas, Auburn, etc... being part of them.
2. UL will play Clemson, FSu, Wake, NC St, Syracuse, and Boston College as permanet....and rotate the other side of UNC, Duke, Pitt, Ga Tech, Miami, Va Tech and Virginia......
Can you not see the complete disparity of their slate vs. UKs? Why help them then our road gets tougher and with the playoff expanding....why even play a losable 3 non conference game? Please tell me the logic.

This is a limited view of history that assumes who is on top now stays that way forever. I don’t live in Jefferson county (several hours away actually), I just remember my history. That pendulum is always swinging.Jeff Brohm can possibly lift Louisville out of the ACC basement, but he cannot make a real "rivalry" out of Kentucky-Louisville.
