Can't speak for others but when that shot went down I let out a yell that represented 3 years of getting our brains bashed in by crap teams. It also represented being up double digits in that game and letting the game slip away. The fact that it was Kentucky made it that much greater but I agree with you. Neutral court wouldn't have had same feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question does not have a right or wrong answer since this is your opinion and not a fact. You didn't say "biggest rival" to begin this. You said you didn't think they were a rival at all...and that's a fact. And they indeed ARE a rival...and that's a fact as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are telling me if that was a game against Duke and he hit that shot we would have not stormed the court like that.

It will never be PU because they wont ever be #1 coming into our place, but it being UK put it on a whole different level. How often to people bring up the Haston shot? I hear or talk about the Wat shot on a regular basis. All my UK family hate Watford for it. If he does not hit that shot UK would have gone undefeated, they would not has lost to Vandy if the unbeaten season was on the line. For me and this in MY opinion UK is our biggest rival and if we want the national attention we need to be playing them and beating them on a regular basis. How many people tune in nationally to see IU/PU not many IU/UK is a big draw. that is why CBS had it on the schedule every first Saturday in December for their national audience. IU/PU has been delegated to ESPN2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_AK Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Geography clearly determines who is the biggest rival. For us folks along the River, it’s UK hands down. You’d be shocked to know how many of their fans we have to live and worship with and work along side... it’s gross. The Greentree Mall in Clarksville INDIANA has a store called “Kentucky Korner.” It dells about 75% UK gear and 25% Louisville. Not an IU centric store. Romeo did make an impact. Local Cracker Barrells have started selling much more IU stuff, as well as JC Penney, and other dept stores. I long for the day when Kentucky Korner closes, but it has been there a really long time. Yuck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made a good compromise and Cal chickened out because he doesn't want to play in AH. yes they might have played at UNC but everyone knows that the UNC home court is not as playing in AH when it is rocking.

5 championships Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 IU vs Kensucky is definitely the bigger rivalry and draw nationally. But I can’t say I hate kensucky more than PU it’s pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first goal should be winning the conference so winning the Purdue games should help to obtain that goal where beating UK doe snot do that.

Also to me our biggest rivals are teams in this state and our conference and not an out of conference team that is not in the state of Indiana. I enjoyed watching those games as well and to me it was better when it was on campus and not in a neutral site. If they would agree with our deal of having both I am all for it but I don't think we need to bow down to them and concede our beliefs. Another example of your perception not being actual reality. But here we are, Scott digging his feet in on yet another argument. This comes as often as east side shootings. That and ridiculing people that don't share his opinion.

5fouls Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I walked up to a co-worker one time who is a UK fan and said "OMG Susan, I just returned from lunch and saw your car has been vandalized." She got this stricken look on her face and asked what had been done to it. I said, "Someone stuck a UK plate on it." She did not think I was funny. I thought it was hilarious.

Biggest UK fan I know. Has a F250 Kentucky Blue loaded with custom UK tailgate stickers license plate u name it. Last year in the fall when we met I left to make a call but actually replaced his license plate frame with an IU one. When we met this spring I went outside to see if he had noticed not seeing his truck I asked and he said he had a rental for this trip because he was out on the road for several days. After about 2 weeks i sent him a text with a pic of his old license plate holder and said I picked this up and thought of u. He said that's funny I have the same one on my truck. I said no way I don't believe that u better go check. Let's just say that the next few messages were not suitable for work. He put 2 and 2 together (big accomplishem for UK fan) that he had the IU holder on for at least 6 months and had not noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, you know I've been reading these boards daily for a long time. What was it, 2 days ago a whole thread got derailed over your bashing of certain posters, warning the new guys to avoid them saying they need to go back to rivals? Or am I mistaken?
