I did not realize how long the streak had been until I had some people in Kentucky as a customer for my company. I walked through their state office and was heckled once it was known I was from Tennessee. Kentucky is a game that I want UT to win. It does not come close to defining the season for me as a UT fan.

if we were to loose 2 or 3 in a row it would.

I enjoy the streak. However, if it meant we would win the SEC title the following week, Id take a loss to UK.

I played at Vanderbilt and we didn't think Kentucky was much of a rivalry either. :)

Now, Louisville vs. Kentucky...that's what college football is all about. As long as your cable provider picks up the Fox Sports affiliate out of Paducah, of course.

I saw this gem on Catspause when glancing around to see what they were saying about the game. This is how important UK fans think the Streak is to our program.

My only comment on this thread is ... I would think long and hard before referring to other schools fan bases as moronic. Tennessee has as many moronic fans as anyone if not more :loco:

Kentucky claims the 1950 national title. That, on it's own, makes them worse than Tennessee as far as moronic goes.

Morons. Beating that arse for 25 years pales in comparison to SEC titles and National Championships. That is what our program prestige rests on.

I love that they think we are big rivals...actually most UT fans couldn't give two ****s about Kensucky. They play second fiddle to UF and Bama when it comes to rivalries.

Yeah, it's crazy how much hate UK fans have towards UT, compared to how little UT fans care about UK. UF, Bama and Vandy are all higher on my hate and rivals list than UK.

Don't forget about Georgia... It may be because I live right on the TN/GA border, but I can't stand UGA or their fans.

Kentucky= relevance in basketball. That's about it though.

Sorta like the heated and bitter rivalry between hammers and nails.

The streak against Kentucky is really just a nice thing to hold on to while we're waiting to get good again.

Some Kentucky fan was trashing Tennessee about Pearl on ESPN, and I told him he was just bitter about 25 straight years and he lost it. He started accusing me of being the kind of person who just tries to be argumentative and take shots at people whenever I can get them. He went on to call me "loser", "idiot". "moron", etc.

If we lose Saturday, I'll be disappointed, but then I'll realize we'll soon be setting up for the next double-digit streak against Kentucky. This streak obviously means a lot more to them.

Speaking from personal experience, it comes from a couple of things. One is the streak. They hate it. Plain and simple, it is an embarassment and it should be. The TN/KY rivalry at one time was extremely competative. They were a powerhouse in the early days of college football. Unfortunately for them the last 5 decades or so have tarnished those achievements.

Secondly, and I believe most importantly, is their projection of their own hillbilly stereotype upon us. We are one of the few states/ programs that they can fling that at and make it stick. My own family views their extremely rural/ agrarian background like some sort of scarlet letter. Our proximity, and Appalachian history allows them to view us in the same way everyone else views them, whether true or not. I believe it makes them feel better about themselves. When I get the "Deliverance" cracks from my family, as they try to disguise themselves in designer clothing, I just have to remind them that "Dude, you're from Dry Ridge Kentucky. Are you kidding me?".

God love them, I hope they never change.

And don't get me started on the faux-Cosmopolitanism of Lexington. Nice college town....but a Sophisticated Urban Center it ain't.

Happy thanksgiving big blue nation! Lots of big games around the country this weekend, but our eyes are on one that won't get much national attention. Kentucky vs. Tennessee. Yet again, UK seems to have a golden opportunity to end the most humiliating streak in college football. Kentucky hasn't won a game vs. the big orange since 1984. Over the years, Kentucky has had a number of opportunities to end the skid (8 losses by less than a touchdown). OT heartbreakers. Heartwrenching fumbles. Orange goal line stands. You name it and we've probably seen it. This season, the Cats head to Knoxville facing one of the worst Tennessee teams in the last 20 years. It's still an important game for the Vols though. A win gives them a bowl appearance. It's also a big game for the boys in blue. In addition to breaking the streak, Kentucky could still qualify for the Gator Bowl with a win and a break or two elsewhere. It's also an opportunity for these seniors to guarantee that they'll never suffer through a losing season as a Wildcat (also their last chance to knock off rocky top). Despite some disappointing setbacks this season, UK is a big win away from being able to claim the 2010 campaign a success. Breaking long losing streaks against Spurrier, South Carolina, and Tennessee plus UK's annual win over U of L would give the program good momentum going forward. Should be another UK/UT barn burner.

Kentucky offense vs. Tennessee defense: Advantage Kentucky
This should be the healthiest Kentucky has been in a couple of months. Two weeks of preparation will hopefully give them SOME kind of edge. Senior QB Mike Hartline has been the biggest surprise in the league this season (IMO). Hartline will surpass the 3,000 yard mark on Saturday, a number few gave him a chance to hit. The Cats trio of stud WR's has been fun to watch, and they'll be a handful for UT's mediocre secondary. Cobb, Matthews, and King have combined for 149 receptions and 21 touchdown grabs. The Vols will also have to contend with one of the best backs in UK history. Derrick Locke has rushed for 719 yards this season while catching 26 passes for another 251 yards. Tennessee's defense (ranked 71st in the nation) will face one of the more well balanced offenses in the country (20th in passing, 43rd in rushing). The Vols defensive line is average at best, so this is a matchup that Kentucky SHOULD enjoy a lot of success with. The BIG, BIG, BIG key for Kentucky this weekend is turnovers. UK most likely would have knocked off Mississippi and Mississippi State (and possibly Georgia) had they not turned the ball over at such a ridiculous pace. Take care of the football this weekend, and the offense will put up 400+ yards and 30+ points. Can this offense play ONE big road game without making crucial errors though? So far, they haven't. They're certainly due. Overall, I think UK has an edge in both the trenches and with UK's skill guys vs. UT's back seven. Again, if UK avoids self inflicted wounds, they'll put up big numbers.

Kentucky defense vs. Tennessee offense: Advantage Tennessee
For much of the season, UK's defense has been pretty good for one half and horrid in the other. Against South Carolina, Auburn, and Vanderbilt, Kentucky was dominated in the first half. In the final two quarters though, they allowed those three teams a combined ten points. This weekend, I would LOVE to see UK play one good half of football defensively. They'll be facing an awfully young Tennessee offense. Their o-line ranks 114th in the nation in sacks allowed (it's a very young unit). The Vols start a freshman at quarterback (Tyler Bray). Bray has brought life to the UT offense against the poor part of their schedule. Good news for Steve Brown's unit, Bray isn't really a dual threat. WR's Moore and Jones will be a handful for Kentucky's secondary. Assuming UK's defensive line plays like they have all season, there will be spurts in the game when Bray has all day to throw with man coverage. Controlling UT's running game hasn't been difficult for most opponents this season (95th in the nation), but UK stops literally nobody. Poole ran for 99 yards last week against Vandy. I'd be ecstatic if UK holds him to that number. The one aspect of this matchup that stands out most to me is UT's o-line. It's a young group that Kentucky SHOULD have some success against. Then again, UK's defense looked NAIA-ish against Vanderbilt (1st half). The Cats have one of the best LB's in the nation (Danny Trevathan), but the others are young and have mostly struggled. UK's front seven vs. UT's o-front should be a relatively even matchup, but Brown typically finds a way to allow opponents to run wild. Best guess, both units have periods of success. That's the way most UK games have gone this season.

Special Teams: Kentucky
The Vols rank near the bottom of college football in punt returns. They're 92nd in KO returns. UK will have Cobb and Locke returning kicks this weekend, two of the best in college football. UK has been a slightly better punting team than the Vols. UT has the better place kicker (Lincoln). Bottom line, if one team makes a huge play in this area, it will likely be Kentucky.

Prediction.....Kentucky 34 Tennessee 27.....I have no doubt at all that UK wins this game as long as they don't give UT points. At UF, Hartline had a huge INT returned for a TD. UK gave Ole Miss three scoring drives of less than 15 yards. UK gave the football away four times in Starkville. Those types of errors are tough to overcome for any team, much less UK. Against Tennessee, Kentucky will avoid those mistakes, put up big numbers on offense, and FINALLY, beat the Vols!!!
