October 11, 201213 yr :idunno: Fans sure attend games like they care, but I guess you know better. UK football attendance national ranking: 2011 - 27th 2010 - 25th 2009 - 22nd 2008 - 23rd 2007 - 23rd 2006 - 31st 2005 - 27th 2004 - (not listed) 2003 - 23rd 2002 - 24th 2001 - 23rd 2000 - 22nd 1999 - 21st 1998 - 26th Yeah but the Bowl committees hate them because they know UK fans never travel to support their football team, the fans just aren't that passionate about football, oh, wait a minute.................

And I'm betting that in each of those cases, they are next-to-last in the SEC, just in front of Vandy.

October 12, 201213 yr Wish I could be up there. I've never been to a UK Midnight Madness. Check out ESPNU tonight. They will have UK as part of their coverage. What my husband is going to do, as he is in Florida.

If he's in the TBA, PM me. It's party time on the lake. :sssh: I had planned on going to "Hoop-La" at USF (8 pm this evening) then watching the coverage of a real basketball program kick-off at midnight, but I can't make "Hoop-La". It would have been my first look at the new Sun Dome and a chance check find out the view from where they moved my season ticket seats to. I also can't make the exhibition game on November 5th, so I guess I'll have to wait until the opener on 10th. I need me some roundball bad.

October 12, 201213 yr No, my assessment comes from as dispassionate a standpoint as there can be. UK fans gripe about football sucking, yet don't think there's a correlation between their passion for hoops and their lack of passion for football and how the university prioritizes. Kentucky football will continue to be a joke until UK fans stop being so single-minded. I must say Schue, this Cats fan is smellin' what you're cookin'
October 12, 201213 yr Again, all I'm saying is the fact that UK fans are so single-minded in their passion -- and so easily distracted by the bouncing ball -- is why the administration feels no compulsion to fix their embarrassing football mess. If you guys were as passionate about football as you were basketball, you could have a good football program. But the fact that, as a whole, UK fans don't care about football is why that program continues to be one of the worst in the country, year-in and year-out. Success in one doesn't have to come at the expense of the other, but it sure seems to. I'm with Schue on this one.
October 12, 201213 yr I'm with Schue on this one. I disagree completely. UK football fans are passionate. When BCG was driving the program in the ground the basketball attendence went way down. When Brooks took UK to football games the fans traveled. If you think the only thing keeping UK from having a great football team is fan interest then you have hit your head.
October 12, 201213 yr Matthew Mitchell is the man. He is a great asset for UK and isn't a bad dancer either. Haha
