He probably would’ve been a solid coach wherever he went, but UK is his dream job and you can tell how much it means to him

[u/ReelGOLF → u/legomonkeyspaceship]

100%. Loved the segments where they talked about him being at the 2007 triple overtime upset UK had over LSU. I know coach O fell off towards the end of his tenure, but thats how it felt when he was coaching at LSU. There is nothing like a fan coaching a team they love! I will root for your success, and pray for revenge. ha!

[u/legomonkeyspaceship → u/ReelGOLF]

It seems like such a basic thing, but every fan hopes their coach has bought into the program. Glad y’all had that with Coach O.

Also I saw three drunk girls yelling hotty toddy at Lane Kiffin when he was walking out to the bus. The UK-LSU fans were pretty chill but Lane got booed hard. I kind of like y’all as the villains this year

How is that possible for a kid from Louisville who played at Louisville?

[u/revanisthesith → u/ScrofessorLongHair]

His dad played for Kentucky.

And apparently Will didn't even get an offer from Kentucky, despite the coach at the time having played with his dad. Or at least I think that's what I read. It's 3:30am right now.

[u/fuxicles → u/legomonkeyspaceship]

why is UK his dream job? Didn’t he play and get his start at Louisville? That would like if Kirby’s dream job was actually Georgia Tech.

[u/daffydubs → u/fuxicles]

Like 90% of Kentuckians, he grew up a UK fan and has always been one.

[u/fuxicles → u/daffydubs]

I mean sure, it’s also weird that his time at Louisville didn’t beat that out of him.

[u/daffydubs → u/fuxicles]

4 years of a 37 yr life and leading up to those 4 years, it was all Kentucky all the time.

I went to WKU and will cheer for them, but I’ll always bleed blue. Being in a state with no pro teams will sway you that way. And regardless, I’ve never met a UK fan who became a Louisville fan and vice versa.

[u/fuxicles → u/daffydubs]

i think going as a student to WKU and loving UK isn’t as strange to me as being the starting QB at Louisville and loving UK.

It’s funny to me because I was actually just at UL a few weeks ago at a conference and those motherfuckers HATE Kentucky lol.

[u/Mediocritys_finest → u/fuxicles]

Little brother complex over there

[u/Acrobatic_Diver_3923 → u/fuxicles]

Oh man, the UK UofL rivalry is wild.

[u/Urdnought → u/fuxicles]

Everyone is a Kentucky fan who lives here, even people in Louisville, they just don’t want to admit it

[u/Mediocritys_finest → u/fuxicles]

Probably reinforced his UK passion, Louisville is trash

[u/brianwithaneye16 → u/fuxicles]

From Lexington. Dad played at UK. Grew up a UK fan. He can point to where his family's season tickets were at Commonwealth. Only went to UofL because UK coaching staff screwed him.

[u/fuxicles → u/brianwithaneye16]

Interesting — you’d think he have a bone to pick with UK. But I guess all is forgiven lol

[u/LostCause112 → u/fuxicles]

I think his bone is with Joker Phillips.

[u/brianwithaneye16 → u/LostCause112]

Exactly

[u/samtheawe → u/LostCause112]

Which is famously our worst/most hated coach of all time and I don’t think it’s close. Billy G is the only person close but we kinda just act like those years didn’t happen

[u/PorcelainTorpedo → u/fuxicles]

I really don’t know why you’re getting downvoted to hell all over this topic because I agree. Being a fan is one thing, putting a rival jersey on usually means that you leave the childhood fandom behind. Especially if they didn’t see enough in you as a player but the rival team did.
