That makes their fan bases no less delusional. It just means Georgia went on a shitty five (seven if you count the two close calls against awful teams prior to the losses) game run midway through last year. Also, that makes one in a row for both of those teams. WOOO!

Your response to my post is Exhibit 1 in favor of my argument.

Ruckus/34,

They are exactly alike. To the outsider, USC/UK might seem like a good game between two programs on a good year, but inside those fan bases, Thursday night is going to be the ‘85 Bears vs. ‘90 49ers. The team that wins will have good reason to hold their head up high…but it just won’t stop there.

By your description, they sound exactly like South Carolina fans. With so much mass delusion in Columbia Thursday, there could very well be a crying Virgin Mary sighting.

Didn’t Kentucky start the craze of giant quarterbacks?

And whoever said ashley judd is overrated needs his chickenbag smashed with a claw hammer.

Most UK fans don’t understand football, but it doesn’t stop them from applying their fanatical obsession for all things “ewe-kaye” to the enterprise. (This also applies to my fellow basketball crazed UofL fans.) It is beyond annoying to hear the local sports media in Kentucky try desperately to make analogies to the college basketball paradigm, simply because they are too football-illiterate to say anything intelligent. They know nothing about the game or the very basic history of the most famous teams. Without EDSBS and other blogs, I would be hopelessly bereft.

As Holly pointed out, UK fans have a special brand of obsession. They don’t need any reason or justification to be totally jacked for their team. It’s like an entire football fan base that has the attention span of 5 days – they never remember the previous week, much less the previous year or decades of football. This trait can either be viewed as admirable loyalty or contemptable delusion, and leads directly to the Charlie Brown-type letdowns discussed above.

All this said, I repeat my earlier statement – UK is clicking on all cylinders, and their fans are in heaven right now. God bless ‘em. Hopefully UofL will return to form soon so we can restore order to the galaxy.
