The University of Kentucky Wildcats sports teams are some of the most followed in the whole country. Kentucky fans are notorious for supporting their teams through thick and thin. It helps that Kentucky doesn't have any pro sports teams.
Kentucky fans have followed University of Kentucky Wildcats sports teams ever since Adolph Rupp and Bear Bryan coached basketball and football teams respectively. There was early success in those teams and it seems there has been relative success ever since. Many UK players throughout history are famous too. Many of them return to live in Kentucky or they visit the school often, which helps recruiting in the state.
University of Kentucky Wildcats sports teams have always dominated the majority of college fans in the state compared to the second biggest school, the University of Louisville. Kentucky enrolls many more students from rural areas compared to UL and therefore the school attendance is larger and so is the fan base. My parents are from Eastern Kentucky and they grew up as Kentucky Wildcats fans their whole life.
This fanaticism about University of Kentucky Wildcats sports was passed down to me so the cycle continues! I bleed blue and that's just the way it is...I love looking forward to the upcoming seasons and analyzing University of Kentucky sports teams recruiting classes. Rich Brooks has me really excited about the upcoming football season. The last two years, Kentucky football has won two bowls and the team just seems to be getting better every year.
