5 Ways You Know You're A UK Football Fan
Big Blue Insider

1. You expect the worst but still hope for the best

With the exception of a few good seasons, it's hard being a UK football fan. Sometimes it is like watching a team invent new ways to lose a ball game. For example, year ago UK had LSU beat late in the game, the players dumped Gatorade on the coach, fans began to rush the field and they lost on a deep pass. More recently, getting up big on Southern Miss and Louisville and watching the team blow it in the 2nd Half. But every game you still hope for games like beating a top 10 UL team in 2007 and winning against the number 1 LSU team in 2007 as well.

2. Looking at the schedule every season and deciding how UK will make a bowl game

Every season UK fans will pick which 6 (or more) games are winnable. With the SEC schedule being difficult, you know that they are going to lose some games, like games at Alabama. It has been 5 or 6 years since they have made a bowl game.

3. Hating the UK fans that only watch the basketball team

UK fans who only support UK basketball are the worst. They tend to root for Alabama, Ohio State or whichever is doing better. They only watch UK football when they play Louisville or when they are winning. They usually start wearing UK gear around Big Blue Madness.

4. Saying things you do not mean

During a game, it can get pretty heated. Saying things during/after games like "i'll never watch another UK football game!!", "Stoops should not have a job!!" or "what do they even coach these guys?!" Yes I've said all of those.....during/after the same game. Watching them play sometimes will leave you screaming at your TV screen or at Coach Stoops and the players on the sidelines.

5. Being superstitious

Doing the same routine because they won before when you did so. Sitting in the same spot in front of the TV, wearing that t-shirt, hoodie or jersey or whatever else you think will help them pull out a victory.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
