I've always lived very close to areas with a fairly large UK fan base. My experiences with UK fans and football, except for a few knowledgeable supporters, usually ends with them bragging about their basketball tradition. Then I remind them that UK lost an entire basketball season (1953) due to NCAA violations and that really gets them. While I agree with you about Florida and Alabama, Kentucky to me must be like Georgia to you.I was there in 2007 for the overtime game and last time we sniffed the SEC title game. Honestly, it’s tiny compared to most college stadiums but it’s not bad. I sat right behind the Tennessee bench in Kentucky territory. Other than a few good natured jabs, for the most part the fans were fine too. I always hope we beat Kentucky but we’ve only lost to them twice in my lifetime so it’s hard for me to “hate” them the same way that I do Florida, Georgia or Alabama.
I should note though that I thought that I wasn’t going to get out alive because they were for sure about to rush the field had Seiber made that FG.

Thank you for your service. My nephew is stationed at Camp Pendleton, Golf Company/Joker 2nd Platoon. Just returned to the states after a six month deployment to Australia.
