Everyone around here cant wait to "kick them damn vols a$$e$ off the f***** court".
I admit, would be funny if we lost.
I'd rather be better at athletics.
*Bottom level of the shopping mall beneath Rupp Arena, there is a sports bar. They sell $4.00 16oz cans, which is a decent deal. You can walk around the entire mall and in stores with it as well.
*Eat before you get there, the food court is a 30 minute wait in ANY fast food joint you choose.
*Should you want a UK shirt, even if it's to burn, go to Kentucky Korner, they have a $5.00 rack.
*If your staying the night, I recommend "cheap side Bar & Grill" for a hangout spot. Unless the Vols win of course, then I suggest going back to Knoxville.![]()
Most UK fans tend to treat fans of other programs based the current status of our own program. With Calipari here having not ever lost at Rupp, UT under .500, the #1 team in the nation, UK fans will be pretty relaxed and nonchalant with you for the most part. Kinda like a "You guys had a few good years there with Pearl, but we are glad you know your role" attitude.
Now, if it were during the last 3 Tubby years or Gillispie seasons when we were struggling, then that disgust and hatred had to be released somewhere. Rivalries that really aren't rivalries are suddenly bigger and more important, magnified by the struggles. Therefore, they are somewhat defensive and wanting to protect their tradition and program, when it fact it doesn't need protecting at all.
UK's tradition was here before, and will be here after us.
How will their attitude change after the game towards tennessee fans if we were to pull the upset?
I'm not sure about the normal ones but I know a certain message board by Rivals that would absolutely SHUT DOWN if something like this happens and the suicide rate in the whole state of Kentucky would significantly rise.

1/3 will say no big deal, blind squirrels find nuts, etc.
1/3 will blame the refs, hate UT's guts, livers, and innards forever.
1/3 will say something stupid like " I hate one and done basketball, we need kentucky boys, fire Cal", and hate UT's guts, livers, and innards forever.
