For Kentucky, it obviously varies greatly between football and basketball. This is clearly a football thread so:

#1 Tennessee. We absolutely loathe them. And always will. frick Tennessee.

#2 Louisville. For UK fans who live in Louisville, they'd switch #1 and 2 on this list. It's their fans. Just the fricking worst.


Those two are non negotiable for every UK fan. After that it gets a little murky.

#3 South Carolina. It is for me anyway. Other UK fans may disagree. We've had some good matchups with then and our fanbases really do not get along.

#4 Florida. We just can't stand them. It's not really a rivalry as I'm sure the Gators don't think of us like that. But from our side, we have no love for them.

Historically Indiana would be on this list at #3. ,We haven't played the series in awhile though...like early 00s I believe.

Arkansas would be on this list if we played more often. We just don't see them much. But UK and Arkansas fans generally hate each other so it wouldn't take much to ignite this.

Missouri isn't really a rivalry for us, yet. It could be. I think they think of us more of a rivalry now because they are searching for new rivals in the SEC to replace their historical ones. I've been to several games v Mizzou and honestly their fans are some of the best behaved and nice individuals

After we beat Mizzou a few times in a row, that game got pretty salty. Now without divisions, that budding rivalry will cool.

I agree with UL and UT. They are co-number ones for me in both bball and fball. UF is a close third, but more on the bball side over the long haul.

I think it also helps that Mark Stoops and Shane Beamer despise each other

You can count on one hand the number of times Kentucky has beaten Tennessee since before the Reagan presidency so understandable.
