Choose a state any state and your odds of seeing UL logos are slim to none. Be it a flag a tee shirt a bumper sticker whatever. I like playing the Hoosiers regardless of up or down years. You will find more support for the Hoosiers than you will your Cards outside the general area. Makes all the difference to me. IU bigger fan base through out than UL. Look it up I'm sure you'll find it somewhere.
What a bunch of crap! #1 in basketball revenue: Louisville. #3 in basketball attendance last year: Louisville. IU was not in the top 5 in either category. Heck Tennessee basketball had higher attendance than IU. Your argument is flawed and the only argument you have is an unscientific opinion "I see more IU flags on cars." The good thing is, there is proof that Louisville has better fan support than IU, which makes your argument VOID!

If IU has so many more fans than U of L, how come IU is never ranked ahead of Louisville in attendance? Why do they not lead Louisville in basketball revenue? Please, enlighten me on this.
