If UK hired a beagle as it's next HC, it would not surprise me to find it had 500K followers within a week. Look at how many former players have 500K to 1M + followers. A kid just saying he is thinking about playing ball at UK can swing 25K to 50K followers almost overnight.


Yeah the fact that Caliper made y'all relevant for the first time this millennium had nothing to do with it. I am not pretending like y'all aren't popular, but this level of popularity is due to y'all being successful recently.

UK is popular going back to the 30's and 40's and tents to follow the 3 Indian gods in succession.

Brahma - Creator God - Rupp
Vishnu - Preserver God - Hall
Shiva - Destroyer God - Sutton
******** cycle recycles ********
Brahma - Creator God - Pitino
Vishnu - Preserver God - Smith
Shiva - Destroyer God - Gillispie
******** cycle recycles ********
Brahma - Creator God - Calipari
Vishnu - Preserver God - ????
Shiva - Destroyer God - ????

Just follow the quotes throughout the history from the 1930's to modern times with the popularity and national appeal over time. Though it may experience some highs and lows. As big as Cal may appear in this age, pretty sure Rupp is still the overall standard for national interest and Rick or Cal are probably 2nd and 3rd.
