Of course he wants to play UK - he would be an idiot if he didn't. WKU has NOTHING to lose in playing UK - 50 point loss - WKU crys all the way to the bank. 50 point loss- come play for Western if you UK didn't take you - you can play here against them. WKU close game or win - great for recruiting and revenue.Why should we help him?
Now saying that, I like WKU and I want WKU to win every game they play except against one opponent. I want WKU to succeed and we have helped out Morehead and Eastern and Transy and Northern Kentucky over the years - why not Western?
Stansbury actually loved UK when he lived here - he just wasn't good enough to play at UK - how many are? Then he wants to beat UK to show how much he wanted to play at UK. I don't have a problem with that either. He and Cal need to set down, talk, clear the air and get a series going. Agree to play Western only at UK or maybe in the Chicken Bucket sometime down the road. UL shouldn't be against helping Western - neither should we.
Go Big Blue!
