Our rival right now is Fulkerson.

I sincerely hope they continue to be successful and become our next in conference rival. They’re a ton of fun to watch with Pearl.

Or the NCAA Tournament.


This is key. Basketball school fanbases have tournament rivals. Football school fanbases don’t have that yet. Maybe if the playoffs expand.

He will need to be knocked out before he draws a foul.

We're definitely not rivals.

Over teams that we’ve competed with for National Championships? No, you’re kind of not.

It’s funny that y’all are so triggered by this thread though.

They were looking ahead to Duke, UNC, and Kansas.

Check their message boards. They are not talking about Kentucky. And why should they? They are not your rivals. To say so is ridiculous.




Speaking as a KU fan...Kentucky is most certainly talked about on KU boards a lot and vice versa. Same with Duke and UNC.

Shhh. They’re desperately trying to make this “rivalry” relevant based on Barnes record vs Cal. It’s what happens when you don’t have much to look forward to in the NCAA Tournament I guess.

Do you consider Kentucky a top five rival?

You’re the one crying all over the board that Kentucky fans didn’t name Tennessee a rival.

That’s about as desperate as it gets.

I already said you were right. You guys definitely need to win more to make it a rivalry again.

Yeah, I'd say so. In terms of teams I hate they're second behind Mizzou and I don't think I'm alone in thinking that

We've played 7 times in the last 9 years too which helps.

This exact thing happens every football season but the teams are reversed.

We’ve played Duke in the regular season 3 times in the 8 years since we last played Indiana but you listed them.

You are aware of us playing Duke every 3 years in the Champions Classic, right?
Duke simply isnt a rivalry. We have no lengthy shared history. Is Duke putting popcorn boxes of the Laettner shot out? I didnt think so. We have a long and storied history with IU. Sorry, Im not one of the UK nutjobs who hangs off Duke' nuts over every little thing they do. They are immaterial to me.

Surprised to not see UT more on these lists.. throwing shade at Vols?


Some of them have egos so inflated that they'd rather give the title of "rivals" to teams they don't even play yearly, instead of the team to which they have lost 7 times in the last 5 years.
