As the chill winds of autumn bleaken the landscape, the Big Blue Nation is feeling the chill of hopes dashed. November has started out as a tough month for UK fans. Rewind back to September, and it looked like we might have a SEC-championship caliber football team, and we were still basking in the glow of our basketball team routing pro teams in the Bahamas. All was good in the Big Blue Nation.
But now, the football team is faltering, unable to execute any sort of effective offense. All hopes of a major bowl are almost extinguished. And the basketball team has looked like a division II team, getting demolished by Duke and barely beating some teams we should have crushed.
But, we can still harbor hope that the FB team finds itself again and sends Louisville packing and lands a mid-level bowl game. And we all still nurture the expectation that Cal will right the ship and get the BB team playing up to its potential.
I hope that this is the nadir of the season for us fans. It looked like a rare year where we have grand success in both major sports, but we instead are dealing with disappointment.
November is indeed the cruelest month.

I'm standing on the window ledge as I write this. Don't get your hopes up that my asinine posts are going to stop as I live in a ranch.
I admit that November has been a rough month for UK fans. I'm especially disappointed with our basketball team as I really thought they had the potential to win a National Champioship. I've lowered those expectations considerably and wonder if we can even win the SEC.
Football not so much. I still think we can have a great season, at least by UK standards.

I think Cal might have over hyped this team and got us fans looking at winning our 9th National Championship with them. That could still happen but if it does, everyone on this team has to improve their games at least 50 percent above where they are right now. As for the football team, by UK standards they have already had a very successful year. It would have been nice to get at Tenn on Saturday but that was not to be. I consider that their one really bad loss of the season, the Texas A&M and Georgia games did not bother me like the Tenn loss did.
