Is there room on the UC Bandwagon?

Freak25 · 02-24-2017, 08:47 PM

I grew up in NKY and like many people on that side of the river, my family were big UK fans. Naturally, I gravitated towards UK at a young age and have "bled blue" for years. I guess I was kind of a strange UK fan though because I always admired UC and rooted for them as a local team.

A couple years ago, I moved to the Ohio side. I'm not sure what happened but I have become a closet UC fan. UK has been very successful under Coach Cal but it's been hard for me to get invested because the team changes every year. It's just a 1 year NBA farm team now. I've watched 2 UK games this year and about 20 UC games. I find myself buying UC gear and even my little boy is a UC fan. I guess my question is.......would a former blueneck be accepted into the UC fan base? Lol. I've been lurking on this board all year.

As Waite would say, we play hard, and players that are good citizens. Well spoken kids. Now their Offense is exciting too. There will be more crossing over.

Welcome back from the dark side!

Thanks everyone! (Well, almost everyone. I see one No Vote lol).

Obviously, I was going to root for UC anyway. Having worked in the City for years, I have more UC friends than UK friends. I guess I just wanted approval before I started posting on here. I have been active on Catsillustrated for years, but stopped posting a couple seasons ago due to losing interest in the team. Since then, I've been lurking on this board. Just full disclosure....
