Is It Better For Alabama or Kentucky To Lose?
There are some teams that all fans want to see lose a sporting event. Two of those teams lost in the last week in dramatic fashion, therefore, people are reveling in bad defeats. Alabama football lost on Saturday to LSU, 46-41, in one of those games where it was a blowout even if the score did not reflect it. Kentucky basketball lost last night to Evansville, 67-64. This begs the question – who is the more enjoyable team to watch lose a game?
For Wisconsin sports fans, Kentucky would probably be the answer. Wisconsin-Kentucky became a small basketball rivalry with the Harrison buzzer-beater that buried Wisconsin in 2014. Then Wisconsin came back to beat them in the Final Four breaking their unbeaten record. Marquette also doesn’t have much love for Kentucky. Marquette owns Kentucky actually in the NCAA Tournament. But still, no basketball fan in Wisconsin likes the Wildcats.
Alabama doesn’t have it as much. It is just Alabama. The reason they’re annoying is they win all the damn time. They have prevented the Big Ten from making the College Football Playoff. They did play Wisconsin a few years ago and beat them soundly. Alabama has only lost 24 times in the Nick Saban era, therefore, you cherish the fact they lost a game.
