- When you’re born in Jefferson county one of the first shirts that will be bought for you will either be Kentucky blue, or it will be Louisville red.
You’re not given a choice who to pull for. That’s been decided before you were born.
My dad and not only raised me to pull for Kentucky fan, but to pull against Louisville.
There were times I would feel better if Louisville lost then if Kentucky won. It’s a rivalry. It’s supposed to be like that my second favorite team for many many years was whoever played Louisville.
I loved it when breaking cardinal rules came out and I made sure that I was there in front of the Yum center as the 2013 national championship banner was coming down.
It brought me so much joy to see the rival brought to its knees.
But now…I almost miss them as legitimate rivals.
You never want your rival to be good because it sucks when they are but I never knew there was an alternative. That they could be so bad that it could fall apart so drastically that you find yourself without a true rival.
I miss the hate and I miss when this game meant everything to my family, friends, this city, and the commonwealth as a whole.
To further understand what Louisville fans we’re going through and what the rivalry has become, I sit down with fans on both sides of the aisle and Louisville radio personalities in a new video below.

I live in Louisville and I try to keep the Louisville guys more positive about their team. I try to tell him they're not as bad as their record shows. they're not having any of it
Same here. I hate it that I find myself reminding Louisville fans that they are a good program. I’m like, Why of all people am I talking up Louisville??? - Steven
L’s Down baby!!! BBN for life🔵⚪️
i want to care enough to be mad when we lose. now i just feel dead inside
Well done Peake! This typa stuff has bumped KSR’s overall status imo
To answer the video's question, of course it could come back. Basketball fortunes can reverse on a dime, b/c a good coach and a few very good players can turn a program around. Witness Calipari coming to UK.
I agree with you. The new guy will inherit one of the saddest stories in college basketball, so maybe it won’t be as quick as Cal was able to do it.
@@stevenpeake4118 It all depends upon who they get, if they make a change. Remember Billy Gillespie?
@@jeffandsherriefranzwa8970 all too well haha. They need to stay away from a flavor of the month hire.
As a UK fan, in my many years of watching, you can never count those dirty birds out. Don't be surprised if they come out swinging today.
I've reached that point where I honestly feel bad for UL fans. Everyone always says they hope their rival loses every game, but when it actually happens, it's not as much fun as it sounded like, lol. You can't talk trash when 90% of UL fans will just agree with you. It definitely takes some of the fun out of the lead up to the game.
I’ve had UofL friends just check out. Who do I even really talk trash to?
@@WatchKSR This is what makes it not fun anymore. Talking trash doesn't even affect them anymore. They're completely apathetic.
Exactly. I want it to hurt them when we beat them. I don’t want them hoping to lose by 50 so they can fire their coach.
I feel the same way about ky and cal come march. 😂

I am the ONLY UK fan at my wife's parents every year watching the game and trust me, don't feel bad for Louisville for a minute, they will talk shit either way win or lose.
I hadn’t thought about the fight between the 2 fans at the dialysis clinic in a good while. That is still unbelievable.😂
A Sports Rivalry at its very best.
Excellent job Steven
I like the thumbnail with the wildcat comforting little brother 😂
I think the rivalry is healthy for basketball in the state it really gets people invested into college basketball
100% This state ran college basketball from 2011-2015
I will never feel sorry for UofL. Same for Duke. Haters gonna hate. It definitely feels better when they’re ranked and we win, but I’m perfectly satisfied with them losing every game. GO BIG BLUE!
Be careful! Prime for a competitive game. This should be a good test on Catsistency. They've not had it so far, nor for years. 6PM is test time. BTW and FWIW, that was my same view, pre UNCW.
Been thinking about this comment since you posted. Really hope we don’t have to revisit it later.
@@WatchKSR Looks like no revisit, but seems Louisville is playing half heartedly. Cats playing sloppy, for that matter….. Seems should be a Cat win by 40. Good sloppy for the high score!
I was at the game our suite was mostly blue and the the ones around ours were blue. I give it to some of the Louisville fans for trying to cheer and have false hope. I definitely love that they are swimming in misery!🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵⚪️ #KennyWonThoseGames
Was really surprised at how many Louisville fans did show up and how much noise they made in the first few minutes. But the whole upper level was all blue. It felt like if Kentucky held a neutral site game against UCLA in the Yum Center.
Go Cats! 2:12 is really sad. That fanbase used to have so much pride. Wild how fast they have fallen.
Pride? They don’t even have majority fans in their own city. It’s a fringe fan base that’s always been very small.
Love the video! L’s down forever. I definitely don’t miss them being good but I agree that their apathy has made it hard to hate them. I don’t even know who is on their team anymore.
I tried my best to get my kids on board but my wife got them on the cards dark side 😂
It will be back in another year or 2
Perhaps it should take a timeout and each team should schedule other teams.
“L”ose Every Single Game!!!!! L’s Down ALWAYS
I will never feel sorry for Louisville they didn’t care about us during the Billy G era .
Born and raised in the Highlands of Louisville. Hope they lose every game.
There's no rivalry you don't have a rivalry when one team dominates the other
Who made this thumbnail!? 😂😂😂😂
Fire Kenny Payne
Besides the pitino era nobody has ever gave a shit about louisville😂
First of all almost every Kentucky resident is a UK fan. More than half of Jefferson County are Kentucky fans. Louisville represents exactly 0 counties in the state of Kentucky and that includes Louisville. So there really is no option at birth, you’re born a UK fan by the nature of it and statistical probability, but there are always outliers. That’s all Louisville is. An outlier. All I can tell them is they wanted this game and UK didn’t. I hope the attempt at relevance was worth the absolute destruction of your program. Louisville isn’t really a National brand anyway, I’ve always considered Tennessee our biggest
Rival. Beating Louisville is like beating Murray State, the just conned their way to a higher level. With the conference shifts, they’re about to go back to mid major anyway.
Hard to feel bad. I do miss the intense rivalry, but fact is, the Louisville basketball program sold out every ounce of their soul trying to keep up with Kentucky. You reap what you sow, and seeing the fan base basically ditch their team shows that they were always the fake ass fans we said they were. You talk to them now and they act like you are a weirdo for caring about college basketball. It was never about basketball for them, they only ever wanted to steal UK fans joy. They are deep into the find out stage of FAFO.
#GOBIGBLUENATION 💪💯👆
GO BIG BLUE 🔵⚪️🏀☝️😼
It has died now its Tennessee
I dont care if the Cards win 40 or lose 40. I hate Louisville with every bone in my body. Been there twice for UK games but that whole city is a mess 😂. Louisville fans wouldn't care if the roles were reversed so i absolutely do not have any sympathy for them. Go Big Blue!
We don’t need this rivalry back!! Loserville is a terrible program anymore. We get the IU rivalry back soon can y’all stop tryna shine a positive on a competitor
There are no positives with this UofL program right now. It’s the biggest dumpster fire of all dumpster fires.
you def were tryna shine a positive? Do yall listen to anything you record? @@WatchKSR
Paducha KY here. UK!!!
Is that your uncle’s blue house?😂
