let's face it uavel basketball is deader than SQUIRTino's dick..Until the NCAA rules they are in limbo..Nobody knows what will happen..Ramsey is most likely gone..Pitino not far behind..most uavel fans are either head in sand or resigned that their program has gone belly up..It really cannot get any better than this..
 
My dad used to talk about Peck Hickman's Louisville teams. Dad was a UK fan first, but he graduated from WKU and followed UL a bit.

It was a different time.

Things got pretty heated in the 80s, but nothing like now. UL was actually a pretty cool team in the 80s, even if I hated them. I understood why someone would root for a team like that.

UL today is a pathetic mess. Rick Pitino has wrecked it.

My dad said the vast majority of UK fans would cheer for UofL when Hickman was there. They'd go to games and everything. It started when Crum got here with his attitude (and underlying tone of racism). UofL fell for it and that's when it got bad. That's when most UK fans were done with UofL

Most UofL fans may not believe it, but it's the truth. Sorry
 
There was a thread that was suggesting an economic boycott of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Not only was it not shouted down immediately or deleted, there were people treating it like a serious discussion. :flush:
Were also going to ban Purnells sausage & switch to Tennessee Pride! Getting pretty serious there. Dorks

I think that is accurate,there was not great dislike for UL in those days.

When was your dad at WKU?

I really hated Louisville in the 80s, but my view of those teams has softened through the years.

Probably a combination of Kenny Payne being our assistant, and the Joe B. and Denny Show.

Pitino is the engineer of a colossal train wreck. That banner coming down will be icing on the cake.

No offense, but if a poster came on here with only 2 posts and said he loved UK but Cal wasn't very good, he would get BLASTED. The OP hates U of L, which is just fine but to act like he doesn't is funny.
 
Yes, I expected some blowback there. But look when I joined, 2013.

In February of 2013, we lost Nerlens Noel to injury. Our next game out, we were crushed at Tennessee - one of our worst losses ever.

You signed up for this board the very next day.

I know, I know. Everybody loves a train wreck.
 
First post? Call me a skeptic.

STEELERS- I see that you 'liked' this post. You're the biggest hypocrite on earth. You just banned my ass from looking at your sinking ship of a message board but come over to our board and snoop around. I didn't even post on your board because you were going to ban me regardless of what I said. You, Zipp, and Kerry need to grow up. What a joke.
 
Denny Crum started the mess over there, Pitino just took it to another level.

During the John Dromo, Peck Hickman and the AA Charlie Tyra's days I could root for the Cards second to the Cats. That changed a long time ago, they are an embarrassment to college sports.

This. I grew up in Louisville, and although I was a UK fan, I could at least watch their games, without rooting against them. It changed when Denny came. That was about the time that they wanted to challenge big brother. I really started disliking them when they would not play good defense and let the offensive man get to the basket, just so they could try to make a sensational block, from behind. Then they would talk. They ridiculed UK because, according to UL fans, we weren't nearly as athletic, and just played fundamentally sound basketball. They were even delusional enough to say that Cawood wasn't nearly as good as Van Vance. When they started having some success, they bullied the legislature into the annual game. Now they regret it. I hope they get what is coming to them, all the time Cal keeps kicking their butt.
 
Has VJ King signed a LOI? Or asked out?
He will get out of his LOI when Rick leaves..Id like to see Cal pick him up..Also wouldn't mind having Spalding come sit out a year then be ready to go in 18..He's going to be a nice player.very long and has some skillz..

Same with me. When I came home in 1970, I pulled for all the state teams but UK has always been my favorite. But I could at least watch ul.

Used to go to ul games because you could always get tickets and there were no bad Sears in Freedom Hall.

The ul team in 1970-71 was one of my favorites. Jim Price, al Vilchek(sp), Bacon and Mike Lawhon.

But ul started all the crap about playing them. Made me choose and there was only one choice......UK!!!!
 
OP, I appreciate your honest assessment. I won't pretend to like anything about uavel or Pitino, but if I were a uavel fan, I would have wanted Pitino gone five years ago after the Sypher abomination. That most uavel fans not only condone it or shrug it off, but actually increased their support of him, speaks volume about their character.

bigbluelou, your 100% right!

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

You are spot on, Indy
Same with a lot of UK fans during that era.
Crum made a lot of inflammatory comments in the 70's
 
I listened to many Louisville games in the 50's and 60's with my Grandpa on the hills of Eastern, Kentucky. He was a fox hunter who loved to listen to hounds run, and always carried an Airline radio, he ordered from Montgomery Ward, when he went fox hunting. Maybe some of you know what I'm talking about, if your in your 60's or 70's.
My Grandpa loved the CATS, but he always listened to the other state schools, and was for them. I didn't learn to hate the Cards until I moved back to Kentucky in 1974, and it wasn't hard after being around Card fans.
