Going into the game, I thought that Georgia was very, very beatable -- new QB, best WR out of the game, etc. But their offensive and defensive lines just ATE. OUR. LUNCH during the first half. Things weren't looking up.

Then our 'hogs' started holding our own, even occasionally besting those Georgia boys, and we forced some funbles, hurried the QB into some bad plays, and BINGO! We come up with a great SEC East road win!

But Georgia was, like UK, 6-4 going into this game, and hadn't beaten a top 25 team all year. Tennessee poses a far greater challenge than Georgia, but this team continues to surprise me.

So, can we beat UT and go 8-4? Even though the mind says "No way!", my heart says "Yes! Beat them Vols!".

Besides, playing in the Outback Bowl in Tampa would be a great Christmas present for CMD, Viperz, TampaKat, and ukfaninfl!

My prediction of a possible 4-8 season has now been surpassed and I have to say they played well enough in the last several games to deserve a bowl trip to FL if they can squeeze out a win over TN. Glad they beat GA and got out of the sites of the Independence Bowl. Nothing wrong with Shreveport, I was stationed there for 4 years in the Air Force but no one wants to play in the lowest ranking bowl.

No one except the seventy Division 1 teams who won'y go bowling. Kentucky is 7-4, and with any justice could be 8-3 or 9-2. I have been a Kentucky fan for over fifty seasons now and have
never been much of a football fan until the last four years. We had some good teams under Curci,
I remember a few "good" years under Claiborne, when we finished 6-5 and went to bowls. Way back I remember Bradshaw teams beating highly ranked
Auburn and Mississippi teams, but going to FOUR
STRAIGHT BOWLS, is unheard of in Kentucky history. We're going to make it FIVE in a row next year. The GREAT Bear Bryant took Kentucky to THREE straight bowls in the early 1950s, Sugar,Orange and Cotton. Kentucky football history is plowing into new ground. Winning is new to Kentucky fans after generations of inventing ways to lose games. The present UK senior class knows nothing but "going to bowls"
during their careers. They are now 30-20 going into the Tennessee game. A win saturday at Commonwealth Stadium would take one more giant step on the present path Kentucky Football is traveling upon. Older Kentucky fans have waited nearly a lifetime to witness "winning" football teams and now finally those days are HERE!. There never has been a time like the present to be a fan of Wildcat Football!.

Add one more Tip. Tampa is only 6 hours from L.A. (Lower Alabama) and I would definitely try to go if the Cats can get there. Go Big Blue!

I predicted 7 wins and a bowl. Now, I am hoping for 8 wins and a bowl victory. I thought UK would beat USC and MIss State and lose to Auburn and Georgia.

I am hoping UK can finally whip UT this season. The luck of the orange has to run out sometime.

UT's defense is much better than Ga's.
We will have to throw the ball down the field to have a chance at beating this Vol team. And not sure Newton can do that yet.
For us to have any chance we have to hold Travesty to under 100 yds and hope Crompton has a really bad game.

I think our defense can keep UT in check but I just don't know if our offense can score enough points to win this game. Once again, like at Georgia, it may come down to special teams and field position. But having said that, these Cats have surprised me a few times this year. All I know is that I'll be rooting my butt off for them. GO BIG BLUE!!!!
