In fact they only hit 24k 7 times last year. Out of 20 home games. So only a third of the time. One game there were only 11 thousand there.

 

Was that the game at Freedom Hall?

Yeah I fixed that. Sorry.

They sell out each home game don't they?

I don't know what the sell out number is.

 

But they only hit 24k 7 out of 19.

 

Most were right around 20k. Still impressive, but not 24.

I don't know what the sell out number is.

That's interesting. I had been under the impression they hit that mark every game. Thanks.

That's pretty good considering the capacity is only 23,000, and that's according to ukathletics.com. I'd like to know how many other teams can claim they fit a thousand over capacity for a third of their games.

Sounds like a fire hazard... :fire: :lol:

So you agree he hasn't been hugely successful yet. Simple as that.

He has been hugely successful at less than mediocre programs. Winning 20+ games at UTEP is hugely successful. Taking Texas A&M from the bottom of the Big 12 to the sweet sixteen in 3 seasons is hugely successful, IMO.

Well if it was a good game, a fire probably couldn't even get the UK fans out of RUPP :lol:

Ok 23k or 24k Kentucky lead the nation in attendence last year so the specific number is not that important.

 

I voted that they will make the FF in the next five years. I also voted that Louisville will make the FF in the next five years. Probably before Kentucky.

I also think that BCG has already breathed a new life into a program that had lost it's fire.

 

Louisville has a very good bunch coming back and should make some big noise in the next couple of years. (If everyone stays and stays healthy)

I don't know what the sell out number is.

UK's average crowd was 23,421 which is very close to capacity...capacity is under 24k...

EXACTLY...glad somebody else gets it...He turned things around VERY QUICKLY also, not the "more than 5 years" window a few naysayers on here think it will take him at UK...:devil:

So would most UK fans be happy with a Final Four appearance in the next five years? I mean, isn't the ultimate goal to win a NC?

 

:thumb: Thank you!!! I was starting to think I was the only one anymore that has the ultimate goal of winning a NC and not just making the final four. I know people really have confused me the past two years with all the Tubby talk and how he didn't get to the final four. Because honestly why is our goal just to get to the final four, I know my season still ends in heartbreak if we dont win it all, just making the final four is not the goal I want for the team. I dont know why people use that to define a great team. I mean there has been plenty of GREAT teams that failed to make a final four. I know I consider 2 or or 3 of Tubby's teams great teams, but they just didn't happen to make the final four, so does that make them not a great team then? They were a great team and not making the final four doesn't mean your not a great team. I just really dont get the love for just getting to the final four, the NC is the only goal I shoot for every year, or else my season does end in heartbreak...

If you take out history, new state of the art practice facilities, 24,000 fans for each and every game, all of which you get at UK, what do those schools have to offer that UK doesn't?

 

Well, lets see.

 

Florida-2 straight titles, football games, sunshine, nightlife

Tennessee-right now Lofton, Pearl's style of play, football games, nightlife

Lofton??? He isn't going to be there next year, why would recruits care about that. I didn't know they didn't have football games or nightlife in Lexington?
