I never understood it. It's almost like you're looking for a fight.
I've only ever seen one UofL fan do it. Way back when, 1994 I think, a friend of mine had tickets to the UK/Arkansas game in Rupp and asked me if I wanted to go. I had never been to a UK game before, Arkansas was ranked #1, so sure, I went. Primo seats in the lower level. No way in hell I was wearing blue, so I dressed neutral. Walking through the concourse at Rupp, there was a UofL fan decked out full gear. I went and asked him what he was thinking. He said "somebody gave me tickets and I just wanted to make them mad".
Nolan Richardson and his 40 minutes of hell team won the game and the championship that year. I sat and silently cheered them on for one game.
