Time to get excited! Unless you’re a UK fan, that is.

I was just looking at our schedule and puked. It’s going to be a long year. I’m going to be optimistic and say we win four, possibly five games. But take heart, I know less about football than I do basketball.

Gottta go, Mona is making me clean this mess up.

handy,

Agree....UK could even only win 2 games. They are all the way down to a 7 point favorite against Toledo this weekend.

Schedule is not very forgiving. I am not sure they can win a SEC game this year.

I'm thinking four wins is the ceiling for our Cat's. I honestly don't think any coach could win consistently at UK. The Sec is just to tough.

The only medicine for that is to get a top coach who can recruit big players. Of course we know that isn't going to happen at UK.

I am predicting 3 wins if they beat Vandy, and not real confident in that.

Correction: The only medicine for that is to get a bunch of money to pay big money to players. Of course we know that isn't going to happen at UK.

I was really worried about losing Vince Morrow to UofL, but actually, recruiting really doesn't matter much in the day of unlimited transfers and "NIL" (i.e., salaries). It is now all about money.

I think 4 is the upper limit for wins this year too. I hesitate to think what the lower limit might be...

I'm not so sure we win tomorrow!

Toledo is a pretty solid football team!
