The Times Are Changing

Kentucky is ranked #7 in the country now thanks to beating former #1 LSU last week. For the first time EVER, College Gameday will be broadcasting from Lexington for our game on Saturday. Things are changing, I remember when Spurrier's teams would hang 70 pts on those guys. What gives? What's going on here?

I think it has something to do with Florida stealing some thunder from Kentucky by winning two straight NCAA Basketball titles. I mean people in Kentucky love basketball (there's really nothing else they were any good at) and now Florida routinely kicks Kentucky's butt on the hardwood. It's like they got all bent out of shape and decided to do something about it: try and become a football school too.

It may also have something to do with that stud QB they've got Andre Woodson, he might just be carrying that team to success. But who knows. This is the SEC, every team is good and every game is a challenge. If you take a team lightly you'll lose. And Kentucky is legit now so we've got to be ready.

Let me just remind people that Kentucky has lost 20 straight football games to Florida. That means the last time they won was the year before I was born. So while some things have changed, some things stay the same and I don't plan on that streak changing this weekend.
