Welcome to Rupp Arena, Louisville fans!
Before you enter the friendly confines of Rupp Arena, it’s important to have an understanding of the hallowed grounds you’re about to encounter. You see, unlike the Yum! Center, Rupp Arena is filled with college basketball tradition, excellence, and prestige, not beard clippings and the Colonel’s secret recipe. While the Yum! Center is a state-of-the-art facility, it is a completely different environment from where your Cardinals will play the first two games of the NCAA Tournament.
So, in order to prepare you for tonight’s game and a potential Saturday game if U of L wins, here are 10 things you should know about Rupp Arena. Just consider it a favor from a lonely Kentucky fan down the road…
********
1.) Before you ask, NO, you may not bring your handgun.
The following items are not permitted in Rupp Arena: backpacks, weapons of any type, video or audio recording equipment, frisbees, laser pointers, animals, baby seats or carrier, unauthorized noise makers, helium balloons, fireworks, or signs larger than 24′ x 24′.
I would encourage you to leave your piece and/or strap inside the whip and pick it up before you enter da club later tonight.
2.) Rupp Arena is a dry facility.
I’m admittedly quite envious of what the Yum! Center offers the drinking crowd during regular season games, but Rupp Arena does not provide refreshments of the party variety. I’m sorry if you were counting on a good ol’ Thursday night blackout.
Depending on what brand of cargo shorts you’re wearing, you may be able to sneak in a couple cans of Four Loko, although I’d recommend a smaller container. I’m told Natural Light’s new mini-bottles are popular at Okolona PTA meetings and church functions.
3.) Those are banners.
College basketball programs hang those after winning championships. And believe it or not, the banner hanging tradition did not end in the 80s and there is no NCAA rule that says you can’t have more than two.
4.) Please don’t steal anything.
I’m serious. It’s not easy for us to see your team, our rival, chase an Elite Eight season in our own arena, so we ask that you be courteous to Kentucky fans and not steal anything.
And since we can’t stop you from vandalizing the place, please keep all vandalism to a minimum. Treat Rupp Arena as you would your parole officer’s living room.
5.) Though someone may tell you otherwise, the PITINO name you see hanging in the rafters isn’t the same Pitino who coaches Louisville.
It’s a younger, better, more likable Pitino that Kentucky fans celebrate. Unlike Louisville’s head basketball coach, that Pitino was respected in college basketball and did things, like, win and put players in the NBA.
6.) When Instagramming photos, please refrain from embarrassing hashtags if you geotag the location.
#Birdgang, #L1C4, #CardSoHard and #ClearEyesFreshFades are acceptable in social media when you’re on your own turf. Don’t dirty up what we’ve got going on here.
7.) It can get nippy in the lower level seating.
Tell Peyton Siva’s dad to wear a t-shirt under his smedium jersey.
8.) Again, please don’t steal anything.
If you do, at least go to a pawn shop nearby so we recover our possessions.
9.) The big white speaker will not fit in the trunk of your Acura.
I understand all the hot tail that comes along with having the loudest ride on Dixie Highway, but that sound system is a lot bigger than people realize.
The bass is terrible, too. You wouldn’t be able to differentiate between all the songs on your Panama ’05 mixtape.
10.) Enjoy a win in Rupp Arena.
Because you won’t see it again for a long, long time.

I wonder how many UL fans will be at the game checking KSR on their phones and will comment on this. I’m guessing many
March 21st, 2013 at 6:34 pm
Amen
March 21st, 2013 at 6:35 pm
So much win in this post Drew, nice work. Also because this is stuff that loserville fans actually need to be told…
March 21st, 2013 at 6:36 pm
Actually Rupp isn’t dry. There is beer in there, just not served during SEC games due to the SEC rules about it.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:36 pm
Drew, well done, absolute classic!
March 21st, 2013 at 6:39 pm
Nailed it
March 21st, 2013 at 6:39 pm
This would be funny if it wasn’t so true.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:40 pm
Outstanding post, Drew.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:43 pm
Now that you have given a serious list of things Louisville fans should know how about giving a funny list?
March 21st, 2013 at 6:43 pm
Great work, although I disagree with Pitino being likeable. He was our coach but if you ever saw him out, which was rare, he was a pretty much a prick.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:45 pm
Great post Drew. Sadly everything you said is true and will still happen anyway. Sadly I’m not lying either when I say we need to bleach the whole city of LEX after this weekend. I wish we could have got out of hosting. Atleast this year. Shard fans are a disgusting breed and it sickens me physically they are in MY city!!
March 21st, 2013 at 6:48 pm
btown – That’s the same thing she said.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:49 pm
That was friggin’ epic, Drew. Especially like #9, although maybe we can sell them Big Bertha and get with the new millenium by installing a jumbo-tron scoreboard in its place.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:50 pm
Vintage Drew Franklin. Well done sir.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:50 pm
Good list.
I’m not sure about this but maybe someone might know. Does the home team playing in these games use UK’s locker room? If so, that means Louisville will get step on last yr’s final 4 floor one more time. And if there’s one thing I know about Russ Smith, it’s that he will R. Kelly that floor.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:52 pm
big white speaker…lol
March 21st, 2013 at 6:56 pm
Lol after we allowed you guys to enjoy the finer things in life last year THE WALDORF ASTORIA of arenas. We are regulated to motel 6, and not the newer ones either. Bleacher seating , dark dirty and dingy. And whats to steel in that morbid arena.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:58 pm
“Those are banners.”
Perfect.
March 21st, 2013 at 6:58 pm
L-Yes fans don’t drive Acura’s
March 21st, 2013 at 7:00 pm
17) Oh, I don’t know. Trophies, banners, relevant basketball history, pictures of NBA players?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:01 pm
Epic
March 21st, 2013 at 7:02 pm
Well done.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:04 pm
Classic, GOLD
March 21st, 2013 at 7:04 pm
I guess to liberal p#ssies carrying a gun is a trash/dirtbag thing to do?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:06 pm
Let’s go NC A&T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 21st, 2013 at 7:09 pm
Like Actually said, Rupp is dry during UK games because of SEC rules. Is Rupp (and all stadiums for the games I guess) also dry for the NCAA tourney?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:11 pm
VISITING TEAMS DO NOT GET TO USE OUR LOCKER ROOMS
March 21st, 2013 at 7:14 pm
You’re gonna be a star one day, Drew. You killed it again
March 21st, 2013 at 7:15 pm
24 Yes. That is correct. I would say more of a redneck thing.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:16 pm
Fantastic post.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:16 pm
#24, ya you never know when you will need to shoot someone at a basketball game…
March 21st, 2013 at 7:17 pm
Hard to believe but Drew you out did yourself once again!!!! Love it!!!
March 21st, 2013 at 7:18 pm
#24 I also like how you indirectly infer to gun ownership as a part of masculinity.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:21 pm
@cm Yes, we liberal p$ssies think you are trash if you carry a gun into Rupp. Actually, we think you’re a Louisville fan.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:21 pm
This article is nothing but hate, hate, HATE!
March 21st, 2013 at 7:25 pm
I bet both listeners found the humor in this. Hater
March 21st, 2013 at 7:25 pm
Great read Drew. I need some of these rules when Cardinal fans visit my house.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:25 pm
I’m the last thing from a UL fan but I just didn’t find the post funny…recycled comedy I guess. It would be funny maybe if you saved the UL bashing for UL hate day and focus the rest of the years posts for UK sports only. Tiring tuning in to KSR to hear UL news, jokes, etc. reaks of desperation and envy, the last thing a UK fan needs to worry about is what lil brother is doing. Leave that to the tards
March 21st, 2013 at 7:26 pm
I think the host team has to take all their banners down. Yes, I’m sure i remember last year in Yum!, a guy climbed up a ladder, and with 2 hands raised, took down all of Louisville’s banners.
It was a much bigger undertaking for the Rupp staff.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:27 pm
Unreal that I read on some of these sites that some people are saying I hope UL wins it all and keeps it in the state of KY. Just WOW!!! You think UNC would ever say that about Duke. Lets get real people!
March 21st, 2013 at 7:29 pm
You and Rupp are trash!
March 21st, 2013 at 7:29 pm
Was Robert Morris kind enough to do this for us?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:32 pm
Solid work, Drew. Several LOLs.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:33 pm
#1. Probably as many as the number of commenters on here talking about Louisville.
Love how you all seriously believe your fan base is made up entirely of Rhodes scholars. Hell 95% of he fan base didn’t go to college period.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:34 pm
Drew, GREAT POST….Homerun!!!!!
March 21st, 2013 at 7:35 pm
Drew! That was pure GOLD! Thank you.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:36 pm
THAT WAS FREAKING HILARIOUS Drew….I had to quit drinking my beer because I was afraid that I’d spit it all over my laptop!!!!
March 21st, 2013 at 7:41 pm
Does Louisville ever get called for handchecks?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:46 pm
Seriously. They run the fast break well to get dunks and such, but so many of their fast breaks only happen because they’re allowed to hand check and foul when they trap and get steals. If the contact was called fairly, they’d never be able to press as much as they do.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:48 pm
Q. What is the one comment UK players are saying to UL fans in Rupp Arena this weekend?
A. May I see your ticket, please?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:49 pm
38 is a liberal with his brinkenstock wearing sandals on.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:51 pm
I’m noticing a lot of players slipping awkwardly on the Rupp floor .. what is going on?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:52 pm
I guess children are easily amused.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:52 pm
we should try the fast break…I mean rupp and hall and piteener only got 6 championships that way…
March 21st, 2013 at 7:56 pm
If animals are not allowed how do you explain the pigs in the seats at UK games?
March 21st, 2013 at 7:57 pm
#24 (CM)- I am a liberal, and I firmly believe gun ownership is my right as a citizen. See what happens when you make assumptions?
Drew, awesome post.
Shout out to Darius Miller – Happy Birthday my man. All the best to you in the coming year, you certainly deserve it. BBN misses you.
March 21st, 2013 at 7:59 pm
heyy…it was an old couch…
March 21st, 2013 at 8:02 pm
I am a die hard cat fan @ definitely hate Louisville when we play them. I don’t know if its the bizarro world NCAA tourney but I’m kinda pullin for Louisville, Indiana is the team that will make me puke if they win.
March 21st, 2013 at 8:02 pm
@55 they sure let a lot of skunks and heifers in there tonight.
March 21st, 2013 at 8:03 pm
Lol at all the Louisville fans who can’t handle the truth (17, 35, 36, 41, 44, 50)….
March 21st, 2013 at 8:07 pm
@60 we played enough game’s last April to last us til next year . Oh yeah more thing …….2012 NCAA national champions
March 21st, 2013 at 8:09 pm
@57 if ul ever wins another title (and that’s a big if) y’all can burn couches too
March 21st, 2013 at 8:13 pm
@60……..Tonight loser….I’m watching the Championship game against KU…..Something you Uvel fans will not witness for many moons to come!
March 21st, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Funny article, but F U Drew…lots of cat fans in Okolona, u wanna be upity prick…but it is funny
March 21st, 2013 at 8:16 pm
You know it’s almost too easy to burn a uvel fan…..Ok I tie one of my arms behind my back when I make in fun of them….with one eye closed.
March 21st, 2013 at 8:17 pm
@59 im not done with you yet loser! you are the worse kind of person. you are worse than a little brother fan. at least they dont secretly root for us. i would rather root for a team of hitler, usama bin ladin, sadaam huessain, stalin and obama then cheer for the TaRds
March 21st, 2013 at 8:20 pm
@70 no your not a UK fan. why are you posting on another story talking chi t about the robert morris loss?
“I haven’t seen that much red since the Red-out at Robert Morris. What a night that was for the “Gold-Standard” program.
I watched the Tru-TV special on UK basketball tonight. What a pathetic peice of film-making. The total skip of Tubby so Drank could continue his snuggle-fest with Cal was embarassing.
UK should disassociate itself this film.
An hour-long program on UK and no mention of Dan Issel? What about Tayshawn Prince?”
March 21st, 2013 at 8:26 pm
8-2=6 more titles than you, little brother!
March 21st, 2013 at 8:26 pm
@74 you are a liberal hippie dou-che
March 21st, 2013 at 8:27 pm
Card fans might look like they’re having fun, but deep down inside they are sweating bullets. They are holding out hope that after this year they won’t have to pull out a grainy VHS tape to watch their program winning a title. After all, those old videotapes only last so long. You can accuse me of living in the past, but at least I get to watch mine in high def!
March 21st, 2013 at 8:32 pm
@76 you couldn’t (thankfully) be further from the truth. Believe me, I hope loserville will be the first number 1 seed to lose to a 16, but I don’t like to see name calling frm either side (especially from one UK fan (you) to another (me). I couldn’t be more excited to see how deep we will be next year, but I want this season to end sooner rather than later.
March 21st, 2013 at 8:34 pm
Jasmine, it was my time to go. I was waiting for U of L to win championship b ut being since that you all haven’t won sithe 80′s I moved to a better town and apartment in Lexington. I feel free after my burning. Thank you UK, thank you.
March 21st, 2013 at 8:41 pm
Fine work, Drew Franklin. Fine work!!
March 21st, 2013 at 8:43 pm
Why would we not want to bring another championship back to our state? I get the whole rivalry thing but come on, you rather Duke or Kansas or Indiana win it? Pitino put this program back on the map. He is responsible for two banners,Won us one championship and left another one for Tubby.He made a huge mistake by going to the Celtics and has admitted it.He liked the state so much he came back to coach again at UofL.They will never catch up to us on championships so lets cheer for them to break their long dry spell.
March 21st, 2013 at 9:05 pm
#17.. I see you couldn’t fill it either. Oh well, you aren’t used to a facility that large to play in.
March 21st, 2013 at 9:07 pm
@83 because it would cheapen our 8 if some ghetto commuter school won it all and yes I would rather puke UNC or iu win it. It gives us more incentive to be that much better next time
March 21st, 2013 at 9:11 pm
@83 pitino is and always will be a traitor. He has been their coach longer than he was ours . They can have him!
March 21st, 2013 at 9:12 pm
@85 HAHAHAHA BEST COMMENT EVER
March 21st, 2013 at 9:19 pm
This post is why KSR is the best! Go Cats!
March 21st, 2013 at 9:23 pm
I’m pulling for St. Louis. It’s a feel good story to me. I hope they beat Usmell.
March 21st, 2013 at 9:23 pm
Can anyone tell me where I can find the 86 championship game tape in color? Whit all the technology today I feel certain they have it in color by now.
March 21st, 2013 at 9:24 pm
Our fans would never dream of such behavior!
March 21st, 2013 at 9:25 pm
@94 maybe at your local beta rental store
March 21st, 2013 at 9:30 pm
I’m telling mayor Fisher. This is not amusing in the least!!!!
March 21st, 2013 at 9:34 pm
Thanks for confirming everything I thought about UK fans and why I love rooting against the Cats. Enjoy the tournament.
March 21st, 2013 at 9:34 pm
Drew, this zooms. If you and Matt collaborate on the upcoming book, this should be a part of it.
March 21st, 2013 at 9:41 pm
#31… Or a school or a movie theater or while shopping at the mall. So I suppose yes even at a basketball game full of thug supporters, I would feel a little better with my S & W. ha!
March 21st, 2013 at 9:59 pm
One of the things I am looking forward to next year is we won’t hear from oldschool. He will tuck his tail and run just like he did last year. I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Mike are a couple. They are perfect for each other. Both are pseudo cat fans.
You knocked it out of the park again Drew, very funny.
March 21st, 2013 at 10:05 pm
Congrats Drew – you just won the internet tonight!
March 21st, 2013 at 10:16 pm
Why uk fans still feel the need to talk shit about a rival is ridiculous. Drop the hate already. Youre season is over. Quit embarrasing yourselves further. Just makes you look insanely desperate and come off as 12 year old sore losers. Misery loves company, and you uk fans have plenty of other whiners to satisfy that need. you all bringing in matters of race, number of championships And accusations of uofl fans vandalizing just shows how weak and sad you really are. You all just won a national championship. Be proud of that, because after reading this
Whole thread of posts, you all don’t have much more to be proud of right now. Can’t even believe how pathetic some of you are acting.
March 21st, 2013 at 11:04 pm
I’m sorry that the NCAA is coming to your horrible stadium and yet you don’t get to play in the NCAA! Oh and good job in the NIT you went out with a Big Bang! And may I remind you that UofL fans have more class than UK fans ever will! Last I checked we didn’t burn couches or vandalize a college town after a win! Good luck with your recruiting class next year and if it doesn’t work out you can always discuss the national title from two years ago or your recruiting class for the year after that because I can promise you if you have a decent team next year.. Your valuable players will be going to the NBA.. Therefore you will be starting all over again!!! Ky basketball and basically the whole ky athletics is going down the pipes! Congrats!!! Stay classy UK!
March 21st, 2013 at 11:21 pm
112 – What is more classy than coming to a rival’s site like you just did and rubbing it in when they have had a rough season. We lost our best player and never recovered. You won’t catch me on one of your websites EVER. I had the great pleasure of watching our ladies defeat yours in your arena (hint, it’s not a stadium, it’s an arena). So much for our athletics going down the pipes. By the way, don’t ever talk about UL fans being classy because you aren’t. I won’t relay here what happened to me last fall when my husband and I were getting dinner at the Blankenbaker Cracker Barrel while our very sick kitty was undergoing tests at a veterinary clinic nearby, but let’s just say it was a shining example of how rude and obnoxious your fans really are. Get classy UL trash.
March 21st, 2013 at 11:27 pm
I stopped reading 112′s post after seeing “UofL fans have more class than UK fans ever will!”
If you’re going to make a post on a rival’s website, at least be honest.
March 21st, 2013 at 11:28 pm
So, if you win the Championship, you crap all over other people’s teams. If you lose in the first round of the NIT, you still crap all over other people’s teams. Stay Classy, BBN.
March 21st, 2013 at 11:31 pm
I’m a diehard louisville fan and found this very stereotypical, but it was funny as hell
March 21st, 2013 at 11:32 pm
Those are banners CLASSIC
March 21st, 2013 at 11:34 pm
Drew’s post highlights why Cat fans in Jefferson County find themselves also supporting UofL (in all games except against UK, of course). Jefferson County is about 25% of the whole Commonwealth’s population (we are technically not a state). About half or more of those residents are Cats fans. Every time this site insults Jefferson County, you push us Cats fans towards UofL sympathy. GROW A BRAIN KSR and understand your audience. Case in point, Okalona is full of Cats fans, you morons!
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:10 am
Did someone already ask why the guy on the right in the picture is wearing a Final Four tshirt? Hopefully for his sake that picture wasn’t taken earlier tonight. Who won that game last year. I forgot.
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:21 am
119 (Mike and Ike) – Are you talking about the BANKRUPT Bucket? The one that is losing money hand over fist? The one that the citizens of Louisville are going to have to BAIL OUT? I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same facility. We don’t want a bankrupt arena like you have, thank you anyway. As far as Rupp goes, I guess you haven’t heard, the remodel is coming. It takes time to do things right (i.e. not stick the taxpayers with the bill). But it is going to be fabulous when it is complete (try googling Images for Rupp Arena design).
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:29 am
Sure you don’t Linda…you’d rather have Big Bertha hanging from the rafters…it’ll look great in your new arena. Make sure you get Richie Farmer to appropriate the funds…he’ll hook ya up really nice. This is why UofL and UK fans will forever hate each other
Neither fan bases can stand the other side…it’s like Catholics vs. Protestants…Jews vs. Palestinians…Itchy vs. Scratchy…just pure HATE.
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:29 am
As somebody who has the misfortune to work every night on Dixie Highway with the dregs of this city, you nailed it, one through ten, dawg. That’s how they finish all their sentences here, dawg.
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:42 am
Mike and Ike – We will be bidding a fond farewell to Big Bertha. She was state of the art in her time, but her time is over and she will have to make room for her replacement. Like I said check out the pics. They are great. You know what, I would rather keep Rupp the way it is than stick the hard-working taxpayers in Lexington with the bill for the remodel. That is why I am appreciative that they are taking their time and doing it the right way. By the way, I’m not from KY. I didn’t have a bad opinion about UL fans, that is, until I started meeting them. They soon convinced me though that they lacked manners, class, or in any way belonged in civilized society. I don’t really hate them, it’s more pity than hate.
March 22nd, 2013 at 1:33 am
THIS has got to be the best thing I’ve ever seen in regards to UofL basketball…EVER!!
@#125….WTH?? How is saying someones a thief racist? YOU’RE racist for assuming that. Keep your idiotic views on whatever Tards site there is and leave this one to UK fans.
March 22nd, 2013 at 1:45 am
Mike and Ike – Seriously, Drew’s post seemed to be more about white guys with line beards than black guys. White guys commit their fair share of crime and carry guns. You are trying to make it racist when it isn’t. That’s typical of UL fans making UK seem racist when it’s not. There are some backwards fans that are but not the vast majority. You are just a troll who spends his time on a rival’s website because you have no life. Most UK fans I know don’t resemble how I described UL fans whatsoever. It must be the people you hang out with. Fortunately there aren’t many UL fans in Lexington so I rarely have to encounter them. I thank God every day I don’t live in Louisville where I would have to be around them continually. I’m sorry your life is so sorry that you feel the need to spend your time trolling our fan website. I assure you you will never see me on one of your websites because I don’t even know one of your website names and if I did I wouldn’t waste my time on it.
March 22nd, 2013 at 2:35 am
#111 – were you even born the last time Louisville won a NC?
March 22nd, 2013 at 3:06 am
“So, if you win the Championship, you crap all over other people’s teams. If you lose in the first round of the NIT, you still crap all over other people’s teams. Stay Classy, BBN.” Exactly my point. Jones and Franklin and their 12 year old groupies are not indicative off the entire BBN. Obviously they are too ignorant to realize that, but it’s coming.
March 22nd, 2013 at 3:11 am
130/ Damn Queso, I have to say you pretty much nailed it. Although not a chance that the post will be here tomorrow morning. That’s the worst part, they delete the opposing viewpoints so that it looks like the entire BBN is a bunch of whiny conceited beotches.
March 22nd, 2013 at 6:57 am
Get off our site Dr Bob!! This is outstanding. No one wants that sewer coming into our hallowed grounds! If I am a Lexington Restturant owner if I see any Red in my resturant, I demand to my staff to poison the food! If not they would be fired. I can’t stand that filth, garbage and ghetto crap. Be best for us all if Louisville got floated over to scummy Indiana, we don’t want you we don’t need you, we hate everything about you and your filth! GO AWAY! I would never want to kill anyone but I would love to taze every UaSmell fan that comes into our wonderful city. Why would any Big Blue fan want to live in that ghetto trap anyway. I have been 2 times in my life and that is due to traveling through. Us Mountain folks don’t want anything to do with them and they think that everything revolves around that scum city. FALSE! There ain’t nothin good about it and UASMELL is the big reason I spew so much hate to that satanic city!
The highest of praise goes to one Drew Franklin
March 22nd, 2013 at 8:14 am
Grate post. UlaSmell and it fans will never got what we got: CLASS. Its importent to remind those thugs what a REAL basketball program is like. They wish they coud get guys like Randle to come their. We got so much talent we cant be beet. N they call that place a SCOOL! Haha. Theirs no smart kids in the getto. We hanging another banner next year and theirs nothin they can do about it! UlaSmell fans are already jeluss. BBN!

Making a list of insults toward your rival in a funny way should be of no consequence to anyone. People at UL hate UK, people at UK hate UL. Every fan from either side has a general dislike of each other and that will never change. We at UK had a rough year, we accept our defeat and look forward to our future. That doesn’t mean that we are going to change everything we stand for and start to like or even tolerate UL fans or their program, just as UL will never like or tolerate UK’s program. Why would UL fans even bother coming on a site to argue or to cause trouble? If UK isn’t a greater program than UL’s why are you UL fans taking time out of your day to get on a UK site and talk trash? If you UL fans truly want to have class, don’t come onto our site and sling mud. Stay on your own sites and celebrate this year that you are better than UK and celebrate your two championships. Years like this are few and far between for you UL fans, so enjoy and get off KSR

140. You personally may not go to a UL site, but if you think for 1 second that there are not just as many if not more UK fans that post on UL sites then you are dillusional. I get on here because I live outside of Louisville and UK sports is about all I get to listen too and I find many of the post on this site funny. Not to mention this site post UL stuff about as much as UK stuff.
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:19 am
Two words kitty fans, Robert Morris, that is all.
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:23 am
146. It was renamed that from the Pittsburg School of Accountancy, a bunch of accountants smh haha
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:25 am
So we can’t bring our handguns? Did we tell you all not to bring your shotguns to the YUM? Lol Your right about Rupp’s tradition. All that racism that Adolph Rupp is known for sure is something to brag about! I’ll also be bringing a broom to sweep up all the mullet trimmings and bleach to scrub down the stench of redneck from those crappy bleacher seats! Now I feel prepared to enter Rupp “The Dump” Arena! Enjoy sitting at home and watching us play on your home court in the NCAA tourney.
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:35 am
Robert Morris? Bahahaha
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:41 am
Ummm, can you say RACIST???? And I was at Rupp last night and it’s the WORST place to watch a game. My high school is better. Listen, jealousy is a illness. GET WELL SOON!
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:52 am
113, 116 – four numbers for you – 1986. Pressure’s on, bro.
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:54 am
117. I hear ya. It must suck to try to watch a game with so many banners blocking your view.
March 22nd, 2013 at 9:57 am
the amount of Louisville fans on here just goes to show you how much they care about our opinions. Lil bro complex must suck! 8>2 (for you Louisville fans who have no idea what that means, it means 8 IS GREATER THAN 2)
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:01 am
This is so great. Thank you Drew.
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:01 am
Poor Cards, they haven’t won a NC since Ronald Reagan was in office. And Alf was a popular tv show. and gas was .89 cents.
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:10 am
Things that have happened in my life since the Cards won a national championship:
I started and completed middle school, high school, and college.
I have had a full-time job for 12 years.
I have a 10 year old kid who is completing elementary school.
The Belin Wall “fell”
Gulf War started and ended
Wars w Afghanistan, another war in Iraq
HDTVs and Plasma tvs were invented
Cell phones became popular: iPhones and other smart phones invented
Actually, I’ll stop now. This list could go on for days.

March 22nd, 2013 at 10:15 am
I wish I would have read this before the game! I brought in 3 hand guns AND proceeded to steal everything I saw… because I’m a Louisville fan. And that’s just what we do.
And I won’t “dirty up” what you’ve got going on with those hashtags, so I will use this one: #FBBN
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:18 am
@117….Really, what high school did you go to? Seriously you dropped out of high school, didn’t you? lol
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:23 am
Treat Rupp Arena as you would your parole officer’s living room…lol,classic
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:34 am
I am a Cat Fan and this is ignorant and repulsive. How about you show some sportsmanship and stop acting like a brat. This is ridiculous.
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:40 am
146&147.. lol you guys are funny… 8 to 2 (that is all)Get off our site and go to ur own if it even exists, otherwise stick to chatting with each other on AOL or some sh*t losers
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:41 am
A lot of comments deleted by the time I made that last post.. good to see its been cleaned up a little bit, thanks KSR.. by the way LOVED THIS POST good work Drew
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:46 am
This is a perfect example of why I had more fun being a UK fan when I lived in Ohio, and why I’m not one anymore.
March 22nd, 2013 at 10:49 am
Hey inbred UK fan, stop porking your sister.
March 22nd, 2013 at 11:47 am
As a life long Cats fan, it’s really a shame most of you have no class more sportsmanship. You embarrass the rest of the UK fans that do have sports knowledge and can the fact that if we have s horrible year, I want the trophy to stay in state. True fans don’t bash kids for playing, they cheer for your school.
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:09 pm
Some of my fellow fans make me sick to my stomach. How many posts in this thread are ignorant, immature, and shallow? Way too many. Do I dislike UofL? Yep, but only one time of the year. Show some class and sportsmanship and stop giving our fanbase fuel for other fanbases fire. In other words, we should act like we have been there before…. because we have. Even if they win their 3rd, which they probably won’t. We still have 8 and will be working on #9 next year. Grow up people!
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:10 pm
I wish all those African American recruits you guys continue to get could see some of the racist things that cat fans post. Whips? Da club? Strap? All racist comments geared towards African Americans.
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:28 pm
#132 Maybe u shud find a new team to like. People like u r whats holding Coach Cal back from being able to bring home another banner with teams like this year. Traditon dont matter and the more people relize that the better for our program. We get the BEST players every year. We are the closest to an NBA team in NCAA and we train our boys to be STARS. We SHUD make fun of and disraspect UlaSmell because they do it to us. And the reason why is THEIR JELUSS!
March 22nd, 2013 at 12:39 pm
What are these references to stealing things. As a white UK fan who lives in Louisville and attends U of L I can’t help but to read some of these comments as racist. Yes, U of L has urban fans because of the nature of being an actual city. What are these veiled attempts at making generalizations about fan bases? Why is this necessary? IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO DENIGRATE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING OVER SPORTS. SPORTS ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT. WHOA, MIND-BLOWING!
March 22nd, 2013 at 1:09 pm
You are a clown and a disgrace to the media. Some of your top ten items should be given to the circus pUKe calls a basketball program. You should be more concerned about the clowns you root for, Ky. At least you can cheer for the pUKe women’s team, as they could probably beat the men’s team this year.
March 22nd, 2013 at 1:11 pm
Rupp arena set an attendance record yesterday for the most teeth ever in attendance
March 22nd, 2013 at 2:07 pm
This is why we love you Mr. Franklin. I wish you hadn’t moved to Chicago.
March 22nd, 2013 at 2:23 pm
Breaking News: starting 2014 all UKKK games will be aired on the history channel since all UKKK fans lives in the past.
March 22nd, 2013 at 2:46 pm
go kill yourself please
March 22nd, 2013 at 2:53 pm
Just remember this fact… even IF ul wins the NC, they will STILL BE #2 in Kentucky!!! Choke on it!!!
March 22nd, 2013 at 2:56 pm
That’s why it’s called City College. So few fans outside of Jefferson County, and OVER 50% of Jefferson County residents are UK fans!
March 22nd, 2013 at 3:24 pm
Pasty white dudes and a racist coach named Adolph ( Hitler ) ,shooting underhanded free throws at peach baskets before 99% of us were alive doesn’t mean anything to anyone except your dillusional, meth smoking, trailer park living, rebel flag toting, 4 wheel drive mud slinging, toothless phuck of a fan base. There is a reason that UKKK is the most hated school and it’s definately NOT your ancient championships that occured when the bracket only had 16 teams.
March 22nd, 2013 at 3:37 pm
All this post is is a stipulation towards a fan base. This was not even funny or witty. This was some of the worst trolling I have ever read in my entire life. Whoever wrote this needs to get slapped around. I’m actually embarrassed to be a student at UK right now because of an entry like this. By no means am I Louisville fan, but this horrendous attempt to be funny makes this person come off like a huge doucher that he probably is. With that said, KYS Drew Franklin, you god damn loser.
Signed,
Blue Blood
March 22nd, 2013 at 3:41 pm
i cant beleve some stuff that lousivlle fans try an say bout us own hear. Yall ownly have 2 titels and we have 8. Thats all that matters. Win you get that many an you never will then you can talk trash. Rupp arena is weigh better than that chicken bucket yall play in cause it has tredition and banners that show it!!! Uk will always be number won!!
March 22nd, 2013 at 4:27 pm
Coming from a UK fan who attended UofHell during the 2005 season in which they went to the Final Four and UK didn’t, I’ve seen what they say about us, and it’s honestly way worse than anything UK fans say. In all reality, I know quite a few UK fans (a third to a half of the UK fans that I know) that are pulling for Louisville just so we can keep the championship in Kentucky. I don’t know a single Louisville fan who would do the same. Get butthurt about a jovial little post if you want. You’re just feeding the trolls. Also, enjoy the rest of this season. Big Blue Brother will be back next season, and it won’t be pretty for you.

Do we really want to keep flinging poo at each other?
March 22nd, 2013 at 5:46 pm
After reading this post no wonder UK and UL ain’t recongnized as a rival in college basketball, jus in the state of Ky. Both fans seem to make it a rival of races, which is really stupid, it’s 2013 folks grow up or kick rocks no room for that nonsense in college basketball these days. Yea A. Rupp was a raciest pig who refused to play African Americans, and we all kno where that got him…. But now UK and Coach Cal are responsible for makin many African American men millions..In my opinion he’s not much of a coach but a hell of a recuiter.. He should already have 3 titles, 1 with Memphis and 2 with UK.. And he may not win another title but he will continue to help young African American make millions.. That’s a thumbs up in my book..
March 22nd, 2013 at 6:09 pm
If UK making “African Americans” rich was their philosophy, why did they run Tubby out of town after he won a title?
BECAUSE HE IS BLACK.
The old money in Lexington never liked him because of his color.
March 22nd, 2013 at 6:21 pm
Never said it was UK philosophy, I said that they r responsible 4 it, and they r… He’s there coach and that’s where they r playing so it makes them responsible… Wow that’s what’s wrong wit a lot of ppl nowadays they read stuff and cant comprehend..
March 22nd, 2013 at 7:10 pm
We Ville fans just want to thank the cleaning crew at Rupp for sanitizing the place! Most all Tobacco spit an Cow shit was removed by tip-off!! Thanks again for all the hard work!!!!
Robert Morris ; )
March 22nd, 2013 at 7:20 pm
#11 make sure you wash yourself after you leave. No Card fan wants the slime of CAl or stench from Ashley Judd’s cooter lingering.
March 22nd, 2013 at 8:22 pm
That’s a lie, Dan. I work at UK and love to see Kentucky win, when it’s not against Louisville. I’ve never had anything but respect for the Kentucky program.
March 22nd, 2013 at 8:33 pm
Sounds like an idiot cats fan is still butt hurt about a list almost EXACTLY like this from last year about UK coming to YUM center. Guys…Rupp is a toilet. Keep living in the past and pointing to those banners (most of which were won when the NIT was a more prestigious tourney). Thanks for allowing us to use your toilet of an arena for the tourney. If you think we enjoy having to come to your turd of a city you are sadly mistaken….
March 22nd, 2013 at 8:39 pm
Sounds like sour grapes to me.smh
March 23rd, 2013 at 12:03 am
What channel does the UK game play on? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
PS Tubby says,”sit on it!”
March 23rd, 2013 at 1:00 am
Rupp Arena is one soup bowl short of a homeless shelter. Shocking to see how outdated it has become.
March 23rd, 2013 at 9:59 am
When all you have is Basketball and tanked this year I guess I would be whinning to. By the way the Yum Center is a professional facility not some out dated canyon. Whisker biscuit? Backward mofo, go learn how to spell.
March 23rd, 2013 at 11:30 am
Awful blog
March 23rd, 2013 at 10:51 pm
Schneid 52 Rupp is no toilet getting ready to be redone Freedom hall was no better than Rupp which is were UL played an did play for many years i think if UK can spend just 3.1 million on a locker room then iam very sure when they get it redone it will be top notch as Yum center which was actually built for a pro team an NCAA pick3ed it to host tournaments all the time there ya go an if you dont like it stay the hell out of it.
