Nielsen ratings reported on the head to head matchup of UK-Georgia and Loserville-St.John's Tuesday nite on ESPN/ESPN 2 at the same time slot.

UK(Big Brother) got a 1.1 over 1 Million households nationwide and our local heroes got a ...gulp.0.3 under 300,000 .I guess America's Greatest College Sports Town must be about 75 miles to the east.<link>http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060120/SPORTS03/60120007/1029/rss0703</link>

Get a clue dude.I'm sorry, but most UK fans would watch a UK game in black and white before watching UL in HD if they played at the same time.... oh and by the way, UL was in HD on ESPN2... just not in Louisville

First of all ESPN will ALWAYS outdraw ESPN2 no matter who is playing. My group of buddies called 8 different places and all we PACKED wall to wall with Cards fans. We ended up at Dundee's which was still packed. There was one single lonely uk fan up at the bar all by himself. That's is an *** load of turned off televisions when they are all at bars watching the game. Anybody with Insight knows how terrible the picture is on ESPN2. But they will soon be in HD as well.

You could be on to something. We all know UL fans can't watch a game without being drunk.

1. County Jail
2. State Pen
3. Methodone Clinic
4. Crack House
5. Big Boy's Trailer Park
6. Phil's Porno World
7. 6th & Cedar
8. You, Your Pit-Bull & your clothes line Free Clinic

Maybe you should have tried a sports bar or something.

This coming from the fan base that keep Pabst Blue Ribbon in business. Oh that and Redman chaw. I was really surprised by the numbers though. The Dish network must LOVE the trailer parks throughout Kentucky!

It was probably more that even UL fans did not want to watch their team play.

Since Loserville is coached by the King of Kings ..let him heal Dean and Juan DonPallacios before UConn gets here tomorrow.Otherwise that telecast may be x-rated.

I will admit ESPN 2 is pretty crappy.. ESPN HD is a beautiful picture... UK looked great stomping on your cards in HD...

I watched the UK UL game at Dundee. That place was freakin packed full of UL fans. It was actually the only time I have felt intimidated while watching a game. Luckily UK was winning most of the game and the UL fans were very cool I didn't have any problems at all. It was pretty much me my girlfriend and a handful of other UK fans and about five or six of my friends and the rest of the place full of UL fans. It was a good time overall.

No blood pressure issues when there isa tornado but if there is going to be a inch of snow you better be well stocked up on milk and bread.

Really Rick do you want to get into characterizations of fan bases? Nota good idea!

What about UL fill Freedom Hall then you can talk smack or here is a novel idea how about you win a game against a top twenty team and then talk some smack.
