December 7, 201213 yr I'll allow for that. However, this is not an isolated incident. I still recall Wildcat fans lighting into would-be Wildcats who ultimately chose other schools on Facebook, leading to the NCAA changing rules about such contact. Kentucky fans have made more national splashes on the 24/7 sports ticker than others in terms of internet craziness. It is also true that the Commonwealth -- despite its issues in areas such as education, teen pregnancy, smoking and other disappointing lists -- is one of the most wired states in the nation. The way anything and everything related to UK always wins in internet polls on ESPN and other such sites is just further evidence of their extreme lack of restraint in carpet-bombing anything they feel passionate about. Fortunately for Wildcat fans, we haven't seen the incidents go violent and in-person the way some others have been, which is commendable. Well, except for the two old men who got into the fight at a dialysis clinic during the Final Four in March. So you have research that allows you to make an educated statement on how "wired" the state of KY is? You mentioned the Commonwealth--How do you narrow that down so conveniently to UK fans? Which goes to my point I made earlier, every school has their crazies. UK does, Louisville does, and so on.. This only comes to light more the programs are at the top. As for fans attacking recruits when they choose an adverse school to the fans liking... Give me a break. Log on Twitter and watch the ripping, cutting, and name-calling that goes on with just about every major recruit. Hell, every recruit that picks UK is ripped apart and called cheaters, so what is the difference?
