I'd put myself at an 8. Catch every game I can. Went to every home game as a student I believe. I have to drop a few points because I won't go out of my way to catch a basketball game like I will in football, and not as devastated by losses, but otherwise my support has been fairly solid for over a decade.

11. The same goes for football. Baseball is about a 7. Here you are born either a Wildcat or a Cardinal basketball fan. There is no option for less than a 10 level of fanaticism for basketball.

Football is a 10
Baseball is a 9.5
Basketball is an 8

10. I'm far more knowledgeable in hoops than football.

Would be a 10 except for two things:

1. UK is OADU; wish the NCAA would act on that; and,

2. Bluehairs. The further you move down in Rupp, the quieter it gets and the more wrinkles you see. I swear there must be some dead people sitting close to the floor.

9. I love CBB. The environment, the talent, small schools competing with larger ones, etc.. March Madness is the GOAT.

Baseball, golf, and softball is about 6-7. I get into the games, but I hardly know anyone on the roster and watch them when I can.

Gymnastics at 3.

You are incredibly misinformed regarding support for AU basketball
Thank God one of y'all called him out. I'm a Bammer and even I know that student tuition didn't build the new Arena. And I've always felt like AU has a huge student fanbase and one of the best student sections in the SEC. The AU students support AU basketball.

Mine is about an 8. Football is probably a 6 or 7. Football games are too long these days. I'm losing interest in all sports though really.

Thought I smelled dead lizard on this thread. You a prejudiced bitch huh? Got a problem with pasty white women? And snow? If it weren't for snow you'd be dried up like the chameleons down here on the highways in the sun. I likes me some white women. Hell I married one. But I'm white so there's that. If you are into South American men road gator, that's fine but we don't need to know about it. There's an A&M board for that.

I think I'm a 7. Went to the Tenn game, so that should get me an automatic 5 in our fan base.

I try and watch games when I can, I think out of our 12 games thus far I've seen part or all of about 6. Should ramp up without the cupcake games and better televised options. I do pay less attention if we're sinking at the end of the year.

I'm convinced some of those old fricks put in the wills that their ashes will occupy their lower arena seats until the estate goes broke.

And for the OP, to quantify the fanaticism for Kentucky Basketball in a number is underselling how crazy we are.
