Think about it for a moment .............the vast majority of UK fans reside in the rural communities of the Commonwealth where local AM radios, KSR TV, CJ, LH and UK internet boards represent the vast majority of their source of information and subsequent perception of their school. Those in the urban communities like Louisville find themselves arguing with all rival fans (UL, WKU, EKU, IU most notably) about factual documentation, like this ranking criminality.
Some are in denial, but most are oblivious to anything other than what Matt Jones is telling them about UL .............I believe that Jones' obsession with UL is a strong indication of the increasing threat that UL has in the Commonwealth. Even UK fans will acknowledge that UL has the majority of fans in Jefferson County (unheard of 40 years ago), and the battle ground they must defend is the rest of the State.
