Report: IU vs UK series may return by next season

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

O.....m....gheee...

Please let this be true

Here’s some HUGE breaking news: according to the Indianapolis Business Journal’s Anthony Schoettle, the Kentucky/Indiana rivalry may be on its way back–as soon as next season. UK Deputy AD DeWayne Peevy confirmed to the IBJ there have recently been “general” discussions between the two sides about renewing the series:

“The [Kentucky and IU] basketball staffs have had some general discussion about playing. Up to this point, no contests have been scheduled,” UK Deputy Athletic Director DeWayne Peevy told IBJ this week.

IU AD Fred Glass said he hopes the deal can get done in time for the upcoming season–which means it would have to be finalized in the next 90 days.

Of course, the one sticking point is where the games will be played. Glass told the IBJ that IU is now willing to play SOME of the games at Lucas Oil Stadium, but would also like to play some in Assembly Hall in Bloomington. In the past, John Calipari and Mitch Barnhart have refused to return to Bloomington after the Hoosiers upset the Cats in 2011 and the dangerous court storm that took place afterwards. Since then, Calipari has reiterated that he prefers neutral site non-conference games to home-and-home series, but UK did agree to a home-and-home series with UCLA starting this season.

I like this article as the comments allow me a view into the warped mind of UK fans, as well as the display of their inability to master the English language.

[Hovadipo 55,114]

But seriously, let's play this thing in Bloomington. I might delay graduation by a semester...

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

If I apologize for knocking over the UK Cop (with a jump from the third row of seats) will they agree to play? I'm willing to make that sacrifice...

no strippers were actually injured in the making of this production...

[ShoobyFims 20]

Ok but they have to play the games on campus. None of that neutral location crap. 

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Next year early in the season we would probably beat them too 

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

MAKE THIS HAPPEN, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

I would be cool with a rotation.
Year 1- at IU
Year 2- at UK
Year 3- Lucas Oil
Then repeat

[TheStillman 991]

I would guess if it is at a campus site in the first year it'll be at UK since the last game played was at AH.  

 

I would further guess if it happens it'll be:

 

Year 1: Lucas Oil

Year 2: Rupp

Year 3: AH

And what UK/IU thread would be complete without the requisite UK joke?

 

A Kentucky father goes to the doctor one day......

 

Doctor: "What can I do for you"?

Dad: "I need to get some birth control".

Doctor: "You need to get some birth control"?!

Dad: "No, it's for my daughter"!

Doctor: "Oh, I see, I see. Well, is she sexually active"?

Dad: "No, she just lays there; just like her damned mother".

Don't care where we play, just that we play them next year. Anybody know the last time we beat pUKe in Rupp?

[Alford Bailey 12,350]

Start at the neutral site, those were always great anyway, then work back in the home courts. Seems pretty simple to me.

Looks like 1988.
