My annual post UT/UK thread and once again I wake up on Sunday with a ton of mixed feelings. I think this is the worst I've felt as a UK football fan ever. I'm young, but there have been some tough moments, but without a doubt this is the worst for me personally. I'll try to keep my thought brief but I'm long winded by nature so forgive me.
1. UT did what good teams do. - I'll be the first to say UK played a pretty poor game, but I'll still give UT credit. UT came out ready to play and were the tougher, more physical team. No excuses.
2. JG deserves support. - I've been mostly quiet on this topic this season, because at the end of the day I'm just a UK fan and have no business telling UT fans who they should like as a QB...but come on guys (and gals). JG has taken a beating and hasn't given up at all. He put up 200 yards on a UK defense that has been pretty good.
3. CJP has this team on the right trajectory. - Some poor games. Some tough losses. But the team will mostly be back next season and be way better next year. It's hard to say the same for UK. They started hot (outside a stinker against Cent. Mich.) and ever since South Carolina, it's been downhill. UK is lucky to not be 5-4. 15 seniors and Snell are going to leave...yikes.
4. After a tough week of UK sports I guess UK is a volleyball school now? - Worst. week. ever.
It's tough but congrats to you all. I'll be the first to tease UT about some of the struggles since the early 2000s, but I'll also be the first to say good luck. I'll continue to hope UT wins every game except for the ones against the Cats.
