Just had an enjoyable Christmas party at my sister in laws in my sterling, ky. Her husband is a huge pUKe fan, got to watch them lose to ucla. I was also wearing my IU hat, lol. At least he is one of the decent pUKe fans though, lol.

Dang went to bed at the 12 min mark. I figured Nevada would take control in the second half

That much I knew...what I didn't realize was that it's been at a neutral location each year, which makes sense given Calipari's preference for neutral site games.

 

That graphic should have UK instead of TCU...their schedule is no different.

This is one area where I agree with Cal. Are home/home series with top teams fun to watch? Absolutely. But Cal is prepping his teams for the postseason, as that’s what matters at UK, and the NCAA Tournament is a neutral court tournament. It’s mostly played in cavernous arenas with lots of empty seats and sterile shooting backgrounds, and he’s preparing for those.

A decent pUKe fan?  Did you see bigfoot around too?

Lol, he is mainly a basketball fan that unfortunately was raised around Lexington. He actually watches some of our games and likes to talk about them. Doesn't trash us and has a sound understanding of the game. He actually said yesterday that he doesn't like the one and done system and has struggled to enjoy pUKe basketball for several years now.

That question was kind of a test.  I'd heard reasonable pUKe fans exist, but never seen any actual evidence.  Kind of like how people claim they saw bigfoot but don't have real evidence.

IU screwed up by demanding a home and home with UK. We used to play them at a neutral site every year and it was great. We need UK more than they need us. What was wrong with playing them at Lucas OIl every year?

Wasn’t Lucas Oil every year that was proposed.

**** puke. They can take their cheating @$$ program and play 30 home games and a few neutral site games a year. The problem they're going to run into is Dook buying the players they once bought. Both programs have been on the leading edge of the sleaziness of college basketball. So no, we don't NEED that cheating @$$ program on the schedule. We can get other Preston programs on the schedule.

We offered a compromise, they refused.  That's on them.  Cal and those fans have enough of an ego problem, I refuse to add to it by bending over backwards and giving them whatever they want.

I want them on the schedule, so we can hopefully beat them into submission then so no when they beg for mercy, but I will not fault Crean or Glass for not caving to their will.  Screw that.
