What will happen? He doesn't even have to lift a finger at UK, all the sheep err recruits just flock to him because they view him as their ticket to the NBA.

Living in Southern Indiana (right on KY border).. these games were the highlight of the season!  The whole town was excited about it and i'm seriously disappointed that these won't happen.   Hopefully, some years down the road, the rivalry will start up again and all will be right.

back in the day, beat Kaintuck and sweep the farmers (need I delineate?) constituted a fulfilling season, everything else was icing on the cake!
