Yes when you selectively pick which sport to cheer for each in and side with the more successful program in each.

If you cheered equally for BOTH Bama hoops and Kentucky hoops, and for BOTH Bama football and Kentucky football, I'd give you a pass.

If you cheer only for the program in each that historically and currently is better, then that's bandwagon. Very simple.

I'm giving you an out here, but its telling you have a pic of a Bama football player in your sig and not a Kentucky football player. Reeks of something...but I'll give you the chance to try to talk your way out of it. Good luck.

But I do. I just pay more attention to one more than the other.

I'm literally watching the Alabama vs. Xavier game on my laptop as I type this. I go to nearly every home game. It is difficult because I want our coach fired. I think they can be a very successful program with the right guy.

I watched every UK football game I could this year. I keep up with their recruiting almost as much as Alabama's.

I don't know what to tell you. I had 2 fraternity brothers who were also UK fans as well. One had the exact same story as me and the other is from Kentucky.

Your bandwagoning is insulting to the Bama Basketball fans and Kentucky Football fans who go to their games every year hoping for an above average season in their weaker sport. Please tell me your not a Yankees Baseball fan and a Lakers Basketball fan as well.
