For nine minutes, it was going so well. Kentucky started this game like the team we’d started to believe in, sprinting out to a 13-5 lead and leading Florida by ten with 10:52 to go until halftime. From there, it unraveled. The Gators’ zone completely stymied the Cats, who turned into the old versions of…

Kentucky reverted in Saturday’s loss to Florida after a three-game win streak injected some optimism in everyone. With extra down time slowing momentum between games thanks to Texas A&M’s ongoing COVID problems, maybe the week off had something to do with it?

Kentucky didn’t come away with the win against Florida on Senior Day, but the pregame festivities were still special moments for the veteran players.

Stone Cold Willow may not be playing James Young tonight, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had at the Big Blue Madness Campout. The players just passed out pizza to fans, and Drew Franklin was on the scene to capture the pie pandemonium.
While the campers were hanging out outside Memorial Coliseum, the team was inside going through one its last practices of the week before two-a-days begin this weekend. Eric Lindsey interviewed Julius Randle, Dakari Johnson, and Jarrod Polson afterwards to get their take on how things are going. Here are a few quotes: Julius Randle: How…

Well so much for that whole “backup quarterback gives us a chance” thing. Last week Kentucky made Florida rookie QB Tyler Murphy look like a Heisman candidate as he completed pass after pass, after pass after pass. He didn’t post gaudy numbers, but he managed the game far better than most people anticipated. This week…
Tent City is in action like never before, already a sign of the wild basketball season that is soon to come. If the fanbase is as rabid for the camp out as they are for the actual Big Blue Madness, the recruits visiting should be blown away by the power of the Kentucky fan…
If not for Randall getting loose in 2010, Steve Spurrier would own a perfect 20-0 record against the Kentucky Wildcats. Instead, the Ol’ Ball Coach is a measly 19-1 against the Cats. No current college football coach has won more games against one team than Spurrier over the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Good for him.…
