why the frick would I pull for a conference team to have an undefeated season?


#1) So you can rub it in on all the schools outside the conference

#2) Brings more maria exposure to SEC over other conferences

#3) More wins = more money for the other SEC teams (including Hogs)

Strange how the Bama fans seem to be in agreement here. Confirmation that UK round ball fans and Bama football fans are indeed the same people???

You're sweet Cheese but I don't care about any of those reasons at all- way too seccentric for me, I've yet to ever root for a team simply because they're in the sec and I doubt I ever will.

So, the answer to the op - hell no. Go opponents of KY.

Rub in what? That the rest of the conference was so shitty UK was able to cakewalk to an undefeated regular season?

An established power like UK going undefeated won't bring that much extra exposure. It just reinforces the opinion that the SEC is a one-team league. If it was someone like Auburn or South Carolina, sure.

"Yeah My team might've sucked arse this year, but since Kentucky went undefeated this year I feel vindicated. Who cares that they blew out my team on national tv twice? You other conference can suck it! SEC SEC SEC!"

Do you see Purdue and Illinois fans puffing out their chest since Ohio State, Michigan State and Wisconsin won big? No, because they know that the success of others will not magically transfer over to them, and UK's success won't transfer over to Bama.

Oh please. Everyone knows it's Kentucky and everyone else in terms of SEC basketball. The only exposure we will see is "which SEC peon will Kentucky pummel next?" You think anyone outside the south will care about any non- UK SEC matchup?

While that may be true, I doubt any school in the SEC is in the red, and money isn't a big concern. If that's your reason for cheering for other schools then I guess that's fine, but since every school already pulls in millions of dollars on their own, I don't see what the big deal is.


Also I don't hate UK or anything. They were cool at the Football game last year ( not so much basketball). I'm just a fan of chaos is all.
