That's right UK fans; I'm calling you out.  This time a year ago I saw an influx of Kentucky fans.  I can't really remember what other teams were unusually hyped before last season (Illinois and Rutgers also I guess).  I don't remember too many other Rutgers fans besides RUGator and EastCoastKeith, and I have no recollection of Illinois fans.  So where's all the Kentucky fans?

Look at the facts, Kentucky had a cool uniform, a great QB, a sleeping fan base, and a sexy relativly new coach, they were BANDWAGON FANS.

Now that UK is going to back to being sorry, they are slowly diaspering (In football and Basketball)

and I don't sexy Rich Brooks is sexy as in looks, but coaching style.

uh huh, You think Coach Brooks is sexy and you know it.

July 22, 2008  11:43 AM ET

Mmmmm, maybe someone needs to start a Rich Brooks fangroup.

I'm thinking they were bandwagon fans, but here's their chance to prove me wrong!!!!

You like his coaching style? You take that over the white hat? ok, whatever

All the UK fans became LSU fans, and this year they will be UGA fans...sense a trend?

Kentucky fans are plenty. If I didnt randomly come across this link, I'd have never found it either. How do you 'call somebody out' without actually calling out to anybody?"

Kentucky will have an SEC top 5 Defense and a legitimate running game. If they can find a few guys to throw the ball to, look out upsets. The program's depth is far better than last year's, and they have an excellent coaching staff that is building a winning tradition. Expect 8-5, but dont be shocked by either 10 wins or 6.

Kentucky has football fans? Never seen or talked to one. They are all about basketball. Kentucky primarily plays football to qualify athletically as 1A school(or whatever they call division 1 now). The fans that talk about football are mostly just bored basketball fans waiting for the first roundball game of the year. Even the guy above me won't go out on a limb for them, saying they will win 6, 8, or 10 games. That range means anything from just barely bowl eligible to likely playing in a major BCS bowl. I was talking trash online with a guy last year during the UGA /Kentucky game. I explained to him that his hot receivers and super QB would be shut down in the second half by Martinez adjusting the pressure package, and UGA would win the game. He was gone 10 minutes after halftime ended.

I was calling UK fans out simply by posting the blog on the college football page to see if any would come across it. I'm not gonna go to the UK page and call 'em out, then I'd just get complained at. To tell you the truth 7shipsandcounting, I've never seen you around the NCAAF pages, and I've been around, sadly enough as it sounds. I saw a lot more Uk fans around before last season started.

I have been a UK fan good and bad.Rich Brooks has built a winning program.Everybody talks about Woodson graduating i've got news too all of you we have a freshman comming in that will prove to be a better passer and decision maker.As for our recievers have you even looked at our returning squad?

I guess again there are some people who doubt the Cats again this year. Maybe you should look back to the Loisville and LSU games last year. The Big Blue of the SEC beat them and somemore, if you think about it ,IF YOU CAN THINK AT ALL!!!!!

I know there are several UK fans on this site. I don't care too much about that. Other discussion boards are very active. The attendance for the first home game, a 1AA team, was very good. I'd say there are plenty of UK fans.

I also recently moved to Illinois, and trust me you should be thankful you haven't seen those fans around. They are as cocky as Bama fans, but not as intelligent.

I'm right here! A UK fan!

Here's some good UK fans.

I mainly only go on the NCAA football pages, and there was decreased activity in the UK fans.

You guys are going bowling again this year. Brooks is doing a good job from a previously horrible football program.
