Has to be UL. I went with Tenn. as second, kinda old school there. Indiana used to be up there, but has seemes to have lost something:cry:

Why are people saying Florida? B/c you can't beat them any longer?

I was going to say IU but you would like your rival to beat more then once in

15 years.

The birdies.

Duke in a down year > UK in a typical year

 

Is there anyway we DON'T play UK in an 8/9 or 7/10 Game?

 

If you want to see the definition of "meltdown" check out Cats Pause. lol.

Three threads....and we have countless ones, so does Catspause

No lane violations and they can seal the deal.

Id have to go with L'Ville since Pitino is there and it is in-state.

 

You and me both

That was just on the 1st page and a half. I'd bet I could find more. I'd don't know if it's 18% but I'd say more than a couple Duke fans have UK on their minds. Bottom line is that there are idiots that root for both schools.

I'd say UL, UF, UT and IU, the Hoosiers have dropped a bit in recent years.

The poll left out a few people like: themselves, their fans, Tubby....

Duke is not even close to being UK's biggest rival.

Lou., Tenn. & Florida, top 3.

Duke and Umass lose on the same day

 

Hey, RP, for what its worth I found this on a UCONN board. Looks like maybe UK fans aren't so weird afterall. Apparantly everone loves seeing Duke lose.

It's 'Nova until Friday.

I lived before 1992. Before that, Duke was just the team UK beat in '78 to win #5. That East Region final in Philadelphia hurt me just like every other UK fan, but it was 1 game. I enjoyed the comeback win in '98 throughly, but again, it was just 1 game. I can't get worked up over Duke. I don't consider them a rival and of the Duke grads I know, they could care less about UK. North Carolina is their #1 rival.

 

Before 1983 I always considered UT and IU as rivals. Erie Grunfeld and Bernard King were the players I despised. I took a History 101 final at UK and the Indiana game was on for viewing during the test. IU's only loss between the fall of 1974 and the fall 1976 was to UK.

 

However, I remember the 1975 final four and Wesley Cox missing that free throw that would have put the Cards over UCLA and the national final game between Kentucky and Louisville. I think practically the whole state was in San Diego for that finals just in anticipation of that very possibility. Then in '83 came the finals of the Mid-East Region and the first meeting between the Cats and the Cards since 1959. Lemasters shot to put the game into overtime. Louisville running away in the overtime. :irked: From that point on, beating UofL once a year and doing better than UofL has always ment more to me than what UK does verses any other school.

perhaps Louisville is traditionally, but with Florida becoming more of an opponent I had to go with them at this point. I at times, as much as I try to never do it in any case, HATE HATE HATE HATE.....HATE Florida. Louisville I don't mind and even cheer for at times.

 

But like I say this is soley based off of the past five to ten years.

I was going to say IU but you would like your rival to beat more then once in

15 years.

You guys are acting like I think it's IU. I voted for Louisville, it's a public poll go ahead and look. I agree with you, until we can consistently beat UK we're not the rival.

 

But you can't consistently beat Florida so the same argument goes back, and that's what I was saying.
