The Kentucky game is sooooo boring.

[JL24]

Yeah, I get it, it's as automatic a win as a win can be.

But I would love to drop those losers for a more interesting game.

Auburn or Ole Miss would be a thousand times more exciting than sorry ole Kentucky.

3 losses in the last 14 years is not automatic.

5 in 48 years is

I actually agree with you. It's just a tough game to "get up" for. Especially away because Commonwealth Stadium is such a dud venue. I actually get more excited to play Vanderbilt. But, given our SOS with the new 9 game shift, we're lucky to have them as one of our permanent rivals.

Tennessee has played Georgia Alabama and Florida every year for the past 30 years. With the schedule adding Texas and Oklahoma we need the Kentucky type game on the schedule.

Sorry, Im still not used to enjoying smoking SEC schools and will still enjoy it.

 

[DaddyChad]

I enjoy the annual “Kick the outta Kentucky” game.

There are so many schools that have had our number the last 20 years, why would we give up the main one we have? Vandy looks set to be good for alittle while I'm okay with playing a poor Kentucky team.

* With Tennessee's 2019 win having been vacated, due to sanctions imposed for recruiting violations committed under Jeremy Pruitt :

Tennessee is 53-7 vs Kentucky since 1965.

and .....

Tennessee is 85-26-9 vs Kentucky all time.

That's as close to automatic as you're going to get in a football series involving 2 SEC schools.

I enjoy when UK has a good team and put up a fight only to choke in the fourth.

We do the same thing to FL so it’s nice to see it from the other side.

Everybody needs a whipping boy. Kentucky is ours.

I don't know how lucky it is, it just means there will be more meat in our rotational schedule. The impact of permanent opponents on schedule strength is alot less when 3 of 9 are permanent instead of 7 of 8.

I can only imagine the hair-pulling and gnashing of teeth if we had drawn bama, ga, and fla as our three permanent rivals.

And right now vandy isnt looking like the pushover everyone thought, either.

In most years they will be. Clark Lea will take a better job, and their current roster will be raided by schools willing to offer more NIL compensation than Vanderbilt will. Vandy is a house of cards.
