First and foremost, congrats on your team having a great season. I haven't watched them play much, but I hear they are pretty good. That being said, if you're fortunate enough to watch UK live in the Yum Center this weekend, I respectfully ask you to please follow these suggestions...

We know you want to, and likely will in some form, but don't vandalize the Yum Center. Whether it be putting a roll of toilet paper in the commode to cause flooding, or carving "UK" in a seat, or simply spitting tobacco juice in the halls, just don't do it. You're better than that.

Be respectful. Don't come wildly blaring into town acting like Old Sammity Sam. We are the host city. Try to be a good guest.

If you desire to get a matching tattoo similar to the one on WCS's neck, my first inclination is to recommend Tattoo Charlies. But call in advance. They will be busy- lots of necks to tat up.



If visiting the Louisville Science Center…. Wait, it's educational, so never mind.

Please resist the urge to hold log rolling competitions in the flooded Ohio River. It's dangerous, and your safety is important.



Remember to tuck in your t-shirts and wife beaters when visiting 4th Street Live. There is a dress code.

It's inevitable, but the C-A-T-S cheer will be heard a lot throughout the streets of Louisville. If you could hold it down to say less than 3,000 times, I think that's reasonable.

Thanks in advance for the boost to Louisville's economy. We'll try put the money to good use.



When people watching in the Highlands and on Bardstown Road, remember, when you see an alternative type and you say to yourself "look at that weirdo," that "weirdo" likely sees you dressed in your blue and white and thinks the same thing.



How about a trip to the zoo? Please don't feed the animals. They don't like or want your homemade venison jerky or fast food chicken nugget.

Lastly, be patient with your food and drink orders. The bars and restaurants downtown near Yum will be packed. Tip your servers and bar tenders well.



Have fun.
 
Also be sure to visit any local Super Cuts. In honor of your coming to town they are offering two for the price of one on mullets.
 
One thing. Could you by any chance wear red to the game so that I won't get a headache?
 
The surest way to entice them into a bunch of non sense. One bad fan can cause a problem anywhere...so let's not piss off 20000 of them.
 
Parking is very very limited at the moment due to rising water. So please park your mobile double park trailers as far from downtown as possible. Their is a trailer park on 7th street at the Flea market, i'm sure you will find your companions their also.
 
And when in town plenty of good dentists to fix your teeth and most of them let you put on payment plans cause we know you will spend your last dollar on your beloved cats. You guys are disgusting
 
Tearfully funny.

That was great. Relax Cat fans, You know it iwas funny.
 
I just hope LPT fans enjoy playing occasionally in an impressive, state-of-the-art arena within the borders of the State.

The financial problems that this one has experienced virtually guarantee that a similar arena won't be built in Kentucky anytime soon.

Hate it for 'em.

"Elite program", my a$$...

I literally laughed out loud at the Old Sammity Sam part. What is that? Yosemite Sam maybe? Lol
 
I came over to this board to see what was being said about your game. I saw this thread and thought it was going to be friendly. I'm 62 so I remember some good teams and players. Griffith (sp), Wes Unseld, Wesley Cox. Saw Cox play head to head against Kent Benson in the Ky-Ind Allstars game their senior year. Anyway, I wish our fan bases were not so hostile to one another. Good luck in the Dance. FCC.
 
As a UK grad who grew up in Louisville I have to say that some people need to stop taking this stuff so seriously. IT WAS A FUNNY POST. I did not see it as mean spirited, as a matter of fact it is how smack talking should be done. We are not curing cancer, we are basketball fans. Good job to the OP on that one!

BTW Cards fans I would like to remind you that you too are from Kentucky.

GO Cats!
 
There was a similar post on KSR a couple of years ago when we played at Rupp the first weekend, but I guess that was ok, right Cats fans? It's all in good fun. Some people take stuff WAY too seriously.

Yeah I thought it was just in good fun myself too. No real hatred in the OP post. Just funnin ya.

By the way, I was born and raised in Louisville. I rarely even mention I'm from Kentucky when out of town. If someone needs to know which state I usually cough it out or say it under my breath.

Can't speak for everyone else, but my post was dead serious. And accurate.

I also enjoy it when LPT gets to play tourney games here because it means I can again make money on the backs of their fans. They pay Louisville AND they pay me.

Beautiful stuff.

Passive-aggressive much there bubba?
 
The fanbases aren't that hostile to each other in real life. I know plenty of Cats fans that are level headed. You just happen to get the fringes of both fanbases on message boards and in social media.
 
That there hole next to your seat is called a cup holder...intended for cups not other body parts.

are you on the janitorial staff there !
 
Good tips, thanks. To make my experience complete, can you point me towards the best spot for a tight beard trim? Does Party Mart still run specials on Crown Royal during the tournament? Which pawn shop should I visit for the best selection of oversized gold chains? TIA.

Ask your team...most of them have line beards now...even neck tattoos..
No need to go outside YUM has indoor plumbing, but leave your trailor at home parking is tight.
 
Thanks for the use of your home floor and arena. We had a full house today for a practice. . .... on your home floor and arena. Would like to see you do that......on your home floor and arena.

Must have been free to attend. That is the only way BBN would be able to fill up the YUM for a practice or anything.

Tell me once again what the attendance was for those last few games uk played at Freedom Hall.......how much below capacity? Oh, yea, they charged for the tickets to watch those games. Big difference.
 
Thanks for the use of the Cayuts home floor a couple years ago Swim. Well never mind. Playing in a barn with bleachers and some fog horns hanging from mid court wasnt all that great. Enjoy the state of the art YUM Center before you go back to what you deserve.
 
It's like my kids car. It's getting a little old, but least it's paid for, and not a crushing burden on the states taxpayers. Like that state of the art place you're referring to.

I get it...your fans want to see what a real arena looks like...a little nicer than the barn UK plays in....indoor plumbing, no bench seats...
 
Swim...taxes from the city of Louisville pay for most of you suck fans roads out in the state. We will manage to find a way to pay for the YUM Center. Meanwhile enjoy the paid for barn.
 
Omg. This thread has gone to another level. Absolutely great. Oh, speaking of levels, where are the luxury suites in rupp?
 
^^^^^^Don't know about Rupp, but the ones in Commonwealth are hanging from the overhang in the form of trailers.
