Very true...Lucas for basketball is terrible. BL though is great.
Mark Cuban Asks Calipari to Renew Kentucky/Indiana Series
- Thread starter Random UK Fan
- Start date
Indiana isn't really interested in playing UK, or they'd play at a neutral site. Instead, IU fans love the narrative that UK is "ducking" IU. It seems to bother IU and their fans much more than the UK fans.
That’s been the plan since Archie took over. The biggest hurdle right now have been prior commitments (Louisville, Crossroads Classic, Maui, etc.) and the B1G jumping to 20 conference games.
I think the series will renew but it’s going to be a few more years.
After beating IU 15 of the last 20 times, it just wasn't fun anymore.
I don't think that it will happen as long as Cal is the coach.
Indiana dictated terms to Cal and UK. That does not go down well when Kentucky can play good teams on UK's terms. So UK walked and IU has been crying ever sense.
IU is nowhere close to being a big game. IU is no longer meaningful.
I do agree with Cal ducking bigger games and scheduling patsies, and now even Evansville is beating us. If we are to lose games early, at least lose to a school people have heard about.
A lot of UK fans say IU isn't a big game, but it's our 2nd biggest rivalry in reality with great tradition. One of best rivalries in country. Kentucky did better in March before canceling the traditional OOC rivalries.
It's better for recruiting. It's better for fans. Better for Rupp. Better for Kentucky. And arguably it's better for wins and losses in the long run because it challenges them earlier in the season. Calipari argues he needs neutral site games to help in March, but that hasn't been true. 2010, 2011 and 2012 turned out pretty damn good. Certainly better than 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 (which would've likely been a Sweet 16 exit).
I've developed more IU friends during this hiatus, than I had the years prior.
@IUfanBorden It's been just one.

This board would lose it's shit if UK and IU would start playing again. If you think UL and UK have venom. Yeah, let this game be played.
could take UL take,more of a backseat, when playing UK? Record is not good and UK and IU would be a bigger CBS game, especially now.
No one really cares about uofl-Uk outside of Kentucky. So sure. We already play a big boy schedule. Win-win for us.
**** no, that would require me to be ret@rded and gay.
You've got at least one of those covered.
False, both are prereqs for a yuts fan. Can’t have one without the other. Sorry to disappoint...I know you’re lonely.
It's ok to come out of the closet. You do pay a lot of attention to UK.False, both are prereqs for a yuts fan. Can’t have one without the other. Sorry to disappoint...I know you’re lonely.
Lol don’t try to HRT me home slice. I have no problem if you think I’m gay lol. For some people it would be the end of the world on here.
I don’t care too much either way. It’ll continue at some point, hopefully it’ll be more competitive. Ive been to IU/UK games at Assembly Hall, Freedom Hall, and the RCA dome and all have their place. A 4 game round robin would be perfect. Just not sure how the yum center will take it or if it’d have to be somewhere else like New York or Chicago.
Yum Center has in their UL contract. UK cannot play there during the OOC season unless it's against UL.
Here’s the latest one;

Can I just say what everyone is thinking.

Get on our level loosiers.

I just laugh. That "IU sucks" thread is like 75 ****in pages long...I like posting over there. Its usually rather cordial. But then again, I don't troll over there. Scared of that bunch. They know I officiate....No doubt they'd find me..
Some of you have no clue. Go to Camp Randall as an Iowa fan and you will really know what bad behavior is.
I was spit on by a 60 year old lady because I was going to slap some jackass in their tailgate.
And she cussed like a sailor.
Fights happen all the time in Madison. Like going to jail type assaults.

This is not a path you want to go down.
so you don't represent the gay population of the UL community?
