[...] James Pennington of the Kernel writes on the annual Louisville question: “Just schedule a tougher team and that solves it, right? Well, not so fast. If UK books a neutral game in Louisville against a big-name opponent, those paying a not-so-small fortune for tickets at Rupp will have a fit. And they have every right to do so: Why should those paying top dollar get a home game against Drexel but not Duke?” [...]

Stupid post. Why should we get a home game vs drexel but not duke? I dunno. How about Uk NEVER plays an away game vs a good team? Same difference.

Kentucky has not always been stuck in this kind of “Pickle”. Back in the 70s UK played Notre Dame (Digger Phelps was coach) every year at Freedom Hall and it was always a sellout and a great rivalry. So why can’t UK restart THAT rivalry game or start another one with a good team that could also be a border-rivalry like Cincinnati, Xavier or Butler. PLaying one of those teams every year In Louisville is a guaranteed sellout but not a guaranteed WIN. Now THAT is what fans want to pay good money for and deserve.
