Dumbest Fans in America: #2 The Kentucky Wildcats

UK Basketball fans are rabid and can be as obnoxious as any Alabama Football fan.

Last year he made $12,462 working part-time at Walgreen's before taxes and spent $4,828 on SEC tourney and NCAA basketball tickets.

Rupp is a hall of fame coach who won four national titles at Kentucky.
