Would you trade some UK’s B-ball success for

I don't really care about football personally, so no for me.
Nope. Rather shut the football program down if it was promised we pass UCLA in total titles.
Football? No. Pose this question on the football board, better results there probably. I would trade going 0-12 in football to keep Cal here forever though.
Hell no! KY basketball already helps them with recruiting etc... They need to rise up on their own and hire a coach that is the next young great or a big name. Keep going after coaches like they have forever, same result. Can't really compete for the SEC title, let alone a natty. He has done fine, but that's what we are use to, fine.
I'm a huge football fan and I just want succes in both.
No. I love football, but let each program stand on their own.
Don't really care about football much at all. If Kentucky wins two NCAA basketball national championships in the next five years -- which I predict will happen as Cal reaches a career plateau -- and during that time fails to win a single SEC football game, I'll be extremely content.
Not me. I like football better than basketball.
UK football is just a luxury but Basketball is a way of life for me. I'd disband the entire football program if it meant securing UK at the top of college basketball for the rest of my lifetime.
I'm not delusional enough to think UK football is contending for a SEC title any time soon
I used to love football then took a 10 year break from it, rarely watching games but the last 2 years, I’ve really enjoyed. There’s no pressure in football, ecstatic over a win but a loss doesn’t demoralize me like it does a b-ball L. I wouldn’t trade any success in basketball but It’d be insane to go to the playoff just once in football.
The sum of UK's success in basketball makes it the greatest program in college basketball history. I wouldn't trade any of it for "more success in football," which would still leave us far behind the more successful programs nationally.
We've always struggled in football, and rival fans have often pulled that card against us. The way I see it, things usually shake out like this; I'll use Auburn football and basketball, for example. In rating the historic success of those programs compared to ours, it would be:
1. Kentucky Basketball
2. Auburn football
3. Auburn basketball (it's close with UK football)
4. Kentucky football
I'll take that all day, every day.

I'm sure there's a certain level of success in one that I would trade for the other. For example, if Kentucky basketball failed to make the Sweet-16, in exchange for the football team making the SEC Championship.... yeah, I would do that trade. So long as it was a one year deal, and then basketball was back on track competing for national titles.
UK football was my 1st love in sports. Love came out at time UK football was at it lowest. But I wouldn't jeopardize any basketball success on football success. Football has to make their own star Bright.
This is fair. I was just wondering if UK fans pined for Football success or not. I don't represent a large number of AU fans but, like I said, I'd gladly give up some football success if it meant better bball seasons. Nothings more fun to me in college sports than having an exciting and highly competitive bball team.
More success in football is winning 8 games. Less success in basketball is being 20-10ish heading into March and getting bounced first round. Sounds an awful lot like 2007. No thanks.
Auburn will be loaded next year if everyone returns. Kentucky, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State and LSU will be final four caliber teams next year. Florida and Vandy could be really good as well.
This is a basketball school so, hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No we lost our chance at football when we fired that Alabama guy lol
Fantastic scene from a great 90's Nickelodeon cartoon (Rocko's Modern Life).
Easy answer...I want both programs to succeed. Just like I want the UK Baseball program to succeed along with all the other athletic programs. I went to the University of Kentucky and support all of it...
Do you go through an inordinate amount of Chap-Stik every time he/they post? Your fanboy love for these two trolls is really unbecoming.
There’s either three of you troll idiots or one idiot creating multiple troll accounts. Either way it’s VERY OBVIOUS and TIRESOME.
Don’t scrape your knees worshiping yourself, I mean, them, you...
Excellent retort, about what I expected from your ilk. Let’s revist your last several interactions with vest/Parmesan and i think even Helen Keller could call out your lame troll game. Keep trying...maybe switch up the names
