I can understand that you guys are worried about us getting back to where we were just a few short years ago, I would be if I was a Cardinals, Wildcat, Boilermaker, or Bulldog fan!!!!!!!
lroberts, the only reason this was brought up was because Cal wants to eliminate either IU, U of L or UNC from the schedule. I was making the case that Louisville should not be left off UK's schedule, but Coombro says Louisville doesn't have the fan support or the rivalry with UK that IU and UNC do. I was merely using the fan support argument to counter him, since he brought up fan support.
