I grew up a Cat fan and still am. Louisville was never really on my radar, but I was happy when they did well. A few years ago, a good friend of mine made L'ville's basketball team and I became a diehard Card fan as well.

Since then, I'm still a Cats fan, but I am not a Cats FAN fan. And it's this way with most Card fans I know. They'd love to root for UK, but their experience with anti-UL hatred from UK fans makes that about impossible.

I'm not justifying anti-UK sentiment, just explaining that I see why it exists. I'm with you, Billy, I wish we could just pull for every in-state team.
