IU and UK fans. It's time.

Praying for all the trailer park women in Kentucky tonight.
What will your husband say about you offering yourself up like this???
Goes to show others just aren't the same. KU, UL, blah blah, It's not UK to IU fans.
He'll be pretty excited and cheering for Uk.
Supposedly it's treated as an IU home game and get majority of tickets and revenue like a normal home game. We make more money and Cals blood pressure stays low.
Asssmbly definitely looks better after the remodel.
It was the exact offer IU laid on 18 years ago, after the "Border Line Massacre"---I mean, basketball game.
Nice to see Woodson willing to do it.
Cal and him are friends.
Either way. It's great IU caved and we get to play again.
Cal doesnt care....After another 1st round/2nd round exit with 23 burger boys---he wont even been in Lexy next season. Dudes a genius.
What if we get a coach before the end of the series though?
I know over on RR, those dudes are having a meltdown....i love going over there. Plenty of giggles to be had..
"IU is a no win situation....We have everything to lose, and they have everything to gain.."
Me---"Hows that?---IU was a 4 seed last year---UK a 6."---And, AND, as bad as IU has been, we don't have any 9-16 lashings on our resume....
PLus, past two NCAAT, IU has more wins....Not to mention, IU has won 2 past three, including bouncing ya'll from the NCAAT in 2016....
Man I love that place---I cannot keep up with the "notifications.." 🤣 🤣
They take a lot of pride in their SEC wins.
Because winning better than others in the 4th or 5th best overall conference the last 30, 40, 50 years is blue ribbon worthy, especially for their Millenial and younger portion of their fanbase.
Cal pulled the same shit with Gonzaga and their Spokane Arena "home game" last year.
2022 – Spokane Arena
2023 – Rupp Arena
2024 – Seattle
2025 – Nashville
2026 – Rupp Arena
2027 – McCarthey Athletic Center
Knowing damn well he won't be coaching at UK in 2027 when they have to play at the kennel. 🤣
LOL, what?
This isn’t true at all. Say what you want about rafters, but UK fans don't give a rip about SEC accomplishments.
Do UK fans hate coming in 3rd in the SEC? Well, yeah, but lets not get it twisted.
Also, "4th or 5th best conference"? That would be the ACC right now.
Way to go bro, you really showed them. Good work.
It’s kind of a weird thing to come over here and brag about though. You had good comebacks over there, probably should have just left it at that.
Cool, IU didn’t go 9-16, IU also didn't rely on freshmen and that was a bad time to have a young team. I'm definitely not excusing it, Cal disgusts me and that made it worst, but still, you're an IU fan…… .
May be considered a home game, but it wasn't IU's decision; at least Gary Parrish doesn't think so:
"Kentucky coach John Calipari has a real need to feel like he wins every negotiation he's in, including negotiations tied to non-league series. So he presumably drew a line at two games inside Rupp Arena, one game inside Assembly Hall, and one game on a neutral court, and Indiana coach Mike Woodson agreed to the proposal because, well, I guess he just decided that Indiana playing Kentucky on Calipari's terms is better than Indiana not playing Kentucky at all."

From what I'm hearing, by that I mean I've drawn up my own conclusions based on nothing, Cal didn't want to play in assembly, Kentucky AD wanted the Indiana series, IU came back with the neutral site game is an IU home game when it comes to tickets and revenue. Holy run on.
I will bet an amount of money that is significant to me that Cal won't make the trip to Bloomington.
Wasn't the previous offer mentioned years ago 1 home game each and 2 neutral sites?(Indy and Louisville)
So this is an even better result for Cal/UK?

Woodson doesn't sign contracts..So really doesn't matter what Mike said, and/or wanted. But FTR, Woodson has long said he didn't care---Just wanted to play.
If ya wanna make yourself feel better, and believe Cal demanded this, that or what not---Thats cool. But I mean IU is locked up with Kansas, Arizona, etc....They have better chips that 9-16, 1st round and 2nd round loss coaches do..
IU offered 4 year deal in 2013: BAsically the same thing both schools just agreed to.
Better for UK/Cal? I dunno. Cal didn't want any games at AH' two games in Indy. He gets...
