Well, folks the trip to T-town was a memorable one, but the Cats came out on the wrong side of a game lacking in offense. I would love to rip on the Bama fans for being inconsiderate Rednecks, however that is not possible as everyone down there was nothing but kind. A couple of observations from their fans in general:
- Every person you talked to would end the conversation with "roll tide." I think in elementary school, they don't teach that sentences end with a "." they end with Roll Tide.
- The Quad is ridiculous. I have not seen the grove in Oxford, so I have no frame of reference, but it cannot be much better than the setup the Bama fans have. I have pics that will be posted later
- You can tell the difference between a non-football school (UK) and their counterparts when going on road trips. I realize Bryant-Denny has 20,000 more fans than Commonwealth, but the fans no when to cheer and chant, and are always in unison. We are getting there though.
- The "Million Dollar Band" compared to your 50 cent piece band is not even close. We need to add about 100 members to get even close.
- If I hear Sweet Home Alabama "Roll Tide Roll" one more time I will vomit all over myself
As for today's game UK goes from the classiest set of fans (Bama) to the biggest bunch of A-holes in USCe. The Cats have not beaten the Cocks (hehe) in the 2000s and have never beat Steve Spurrier. Chris Smelley has been inept at times this year, but seemed to turn a corner last week against Ole Miss. The running game is not much to speak of, and this game will hing upon the Cats getting to the QB with the front four. I don't often predict such a big victory in a game that should be close, but I say Smelley throws three picks and is sacked 4 times and the Cats win this on in a walk 28-10.
The Cats can't lose on my first trip home to Lexington this year can they?
