If Kentucky Wins:
They’ll be 46-46 under Mark Stoops.
UK fans will go crazy
Their all-time record will be 625-628-44, only four games shy of 50-50.
UK fans can show off the “Always on Top” T-shirts
They’ll improve to 25-81-9 against the Vols, and snap a 2-game losing streak.
UK fans will be like “How ‘bout dose ‘Cats?”
They’ll have won in Knoxville for the first time since 1985.
UK fans will sing parodied and badly-tuned versions of “Rocky Top” to make fun of the Vols
They’ll have beaten their first ranked opponent since January 1, 2019, when they took down #12 Penn State in the Citrus Bowl.
UK fans will be pleased.
They’ll have won 2 of the past 4 contests against Tennessee.
UK fans will be ecstatic.
They’ll be 20-10 since the start of the historic 2018 season.
They’ll be 14-5 under QB Terry Wilson.
UK fans will watch the rest of the football games and not just wonder how long until basketball season
They’ll be out of the CBS Bottom 25 (at last!)
UK fans will wear smiles larger than the King Pig in “Angry Birds” (and the Vols will be more like the birds)
Lexington will be rocking when Georgia comes to town in prime-time.
All UK fans will bounce off the walls.

If Kentucky Loses:
UK fans will wonder why they watched all 3.5 hours of the game and grumpily think about that garage that needs to be cleaned out.
UK fans will say, “When’s basketball start?”
UK fans will blame the refs for all 82 losses and 9 ties against Tennessee.
They’ll be staring down a possible 1-4 with a difficult game looming against Georgia.
Bowl eligibility will still be a battle
Gains from winning: It’s the Tennessee game! It’d be better than winning 100 free cheeseburgers!

Consequences from losing: Same as they usually are, but higher if they blow a late lead.

Hardest Opponent Scale: This is the 4th hardest opponent they’ll face this year, making this a very big opportunity.

Mark Stoops’ troops know how to beat Tennessee because they’ve done it before (2017). Some players from that team are even still on the roster today, like Quinton Bohanna. The only issue is, well, doing it again. They will. It’s only a matter of time.

Go ‘Cats!

UK is like Charlie Brown, and Tennessee is like Lucy. Every year, we play them, and every year we end up falling flat on our back as Lucy pulls the ball away.

<Sigh>

Good grief, Charlie Brown!

That is the perfect analogy, Tip.

I'm like Ray Charles, I didn't see that coming.
