For the first time since 2007 the football team is ranked higher than the basketball team. How about that? Pretty cool for the football fans, not so much for the die hard BBall fans nicker: I actually seen people wishing death to the football program today over it. BBN is just a little crazy st times. Lol

I’m one of the odd ones that actually cares more about what happens with our football program. Basketball used to be appointment viewing for me, I’d arrange my entire day around whatever time the game was. Now, if I get to watch fine, if not I don’t really care. Am I just getting old, or are any of you all starting to feel this way too?

I have felt that way since Calipari arrived.

So how was you from 1999 and up..... did you enjoy being mediocre ? I’m lost on how many final fours we seen during that tenure....

I never jumped on the Calipari bandwagon when he came to UK.

[Westside]

I wonder how many times since 1977 that this has happened?

[Wildcatk23]

The basketball team has been unranked numerous times before . Just a testimant of how good the football team is.

I’m not on the Cal bandwagon. I miss my Gerald Fitches and Bobby Perry’s of the world , however i alsp enjoy being relevant and seeing final four teams.

I used to be as big a UK Basketball fan as anyone. The 2015 season and having one-and-dones that aren't good enough to be a one-and-dones have totally drained me of my love for the program. I have changed since then and it's not something that I've been trying to do. Since that Wisconsin game I have slowly lost interest in the BBall Cats to the point where I chose to not watch them IF I even remember that they are on TV.

Sad but true.

[Do-double-gg]

In my opinion football has been America's game for years now and you will find more football fans then basketball in Kentucky just like anywhere else. A whole lot of Kentucky basketball fans are bandwagon fans who pay attention to UK basketball just because it's been the only thing sports wise in this state that we are good at. However if you think UK basketball fans are nuts then just wait and see what happens if our football program keeps improving and starts consistently winning and gets to the level of playing for SEC and National championships.

So you miss going undefeated in the regular season and almost
Making history lol

I would much rather have our football team at 7-9 wins and bowl bound ever year than the basketball team win and be top ranked. I also was a die hard basketball until they hired Cal. Didn't like him at UMass or Memphis and don't like him now. You just can't start liking someone because he coaches your team now. Thought he was dirty then and truly believe he will get busted at UK for something someday. The way he pushes kids out the door so he can bring in more is ridiculous. Some are ready but some haven't been and he has let them go on just so he can say I have had this many kids drafted. When you say it's all about the kids and getting them drafted over winning titles then that's where I'm done. I could care less where these kids go in the draft, I did at one point care about wins and titles. He also buys 8-10 wins a year with the crap teams that come to Rupp to play in November and December. Makes him look like a better coach than what he is. My rant over!

That has always been my feeling about Calipari. You spoke the words much more eloquently than I would.

[Strikeout King]

I've always said Cal is more worried about getting athletes to the NBA than he is having them at UK and it's still true to this day. Sure you have to go out and recruit the best but you don't have to push them out the door as soon as they come in it. Their's a lot of NBA players that stay more than a year or two in college before going to the NBA. I honestly will be glad when he is gone.

If they don't start landing the best in-state talent, the fan base will not be fully on board.

Almost doesn't get it......should have won the title at 40-0. No excuse to come up short. Horrible coaching job.

I still want UK to win, I just don't put any emotional effort into them anymore.

Exactly. I bet if he were to look at his check it would have the University of Kentucky on it. He needs to remember who he is working for.

I agree about the 40-0 season. Man that had to be the biggest choke job at UK ever. Then after we hear he had to leave Harrison in out of loyalty? Bull butter. Don’t want anyone to take this as a racial comment but truth is we lost to a team of 99% white boys that was slow as molasses lol

Wisconsin was a good team no doubt. They were nowhere near as talented as UK. The Cats should have won comfortably 12-15 points.

It just sounds like your a fair weather fan. You only care when they win. It’s common.

That's not true.

As I stated before. I grew up a HUGE UK BBall fan.
