January 2, 201511 yr Author Love UK & hate OSU, but I agree on the similarities. I also think we/they are two of the best fan bases in college sports. I could have easily added Bama football fans as well. Heck, they may be the worst of all.
January 2, 201511 yr I could have easily added Bama football fans as well. Heck, they may be the worst of all. No doubt.
January 2, 201511 yr To help the conversation please tell us which one you are - UK b-ball or OSU football. A lot of them are both — UK hoops fans in the Northern end of the state have long adopted the Buckeyes as a FB stand-in so they'd have some skin in the national game.
January 2, 201511 yr I could have easily added Bama football fans as well. Heck, they may be the worst of all. Alabama football has the worst fan base in college sports, but I also think that makes them the best. That probably doesn't make any sense. :lol2:
January 2, 201511 yr A lot of them are both — UK hoops fans in the Northern end of the state have long adopted the Buckeyes as a FB stand-in so they'd have some skin in the national game. Agreed.
January 2, 201511 yr My wife is an ardent UK fan. Your first three are no doubt true. She actually doesn't gloat like she used to over the wins - maybe the BCG era tempered that a bit. But I will add one more axiom; win or lose. The refs cheated. You married up.
January 2, 201511 yr I also know more than a few UK hoops fanatics that are diehard New York Yankees fans. Something about having a (usually) winner to back.

January 2, 201511 yr A lot of them are both — UK hoops fans in the Northern end of the state have long adopted the Buckeyes as a FB stand-in so they'd have some skin in the national game. I would agree to this. But a lot are Notre Dame fans as well.
January 2, 201511 yr There's not a group more obnoxious than the UK Basketball/SEC Football fans. It's not close.
January 2, 201511 yr Having attended the huge College of Thomas More in Edgewood I find it easy to root for any university team within a short drive. Makes for a much greater enjoyment of local teams success. Love em all. Now go Bucks and roll on UK.
January 2, 201511 yr There's not a group more obnoxious than the UK Basketball/SEC Football fans. It's not close. I spent a quite a bit of time in Cincy. You just don't have a large enough sample size. Clyde is dead on.
January 2, 201511 yr I spent a quite a bit of time in Cincy. You just don't have a large enough sample size. Clyde is dead on. I'm not doubting what he's saying, I definitely see the similarities.
January 2, 201511 yr I'm not doubting what he's saying, I definitely see the similarities. You very well could be right. Although, try being an Auburn fan in Alabama.
