Cats Win!
This post is a little late, but I can’t describe how proud I am for Kentucky’s football team. Who knew that the weekend after Midnight Madness, we’d still be excited about the football team?! I went into the game thinking there would be no way UK could knock off the #1 team in the land, and I’ve never been happier to be wrong. Earlier this year, I predicted an 8-4 season for the Cats. They still have a tough slate ahead of them, but at this point, I’m thinking 10-2 or 9-3 are both very realistic.
I can only think of what might be going through Rich Brooks’ head. A couple of years ago, UK fans - myself included - wanted him gone. Someone on a message board said hiring Brooks set UK football back fifty years. Well, it turns out they were right! Fifty years ago, Bear Bryant wandered the sidelines of UK, and it was the last time we had a consistently good football team.
The AP poll awarded the Cats with a #8 ranking this week. Earlier this year, I felt our first trip into the Top 10 wasn’t deserved. Now, it is most definitely deserved. Especially considering our only loss was to the team that now sits at #6 in the poll. The bad news? Three of our last five games are against other ranked teams.
Good luck Cats!
