Why am I starting a Substack (when the rest of you already have one and it's probably just more noise)?

The eye test was right—we are a mid-tier SEC team that pulled off two incredible wins and benefited from a crazy turnover margin. Last two weeks: –4 in turnovers, 0-2.
But I thought we would finish 16th in the SEC this year, so I'm still thrilled at 7–3!

The week of the Champion's Classic has been a double whammy for UK basketball and football so many times in the last decade.

Brandon has been the absolute most optimistic in terms of guys around Kentucky sports media who are really intelligent about basketball. This is quite a statement from him.
Winning versus losing that game should mean nothing.
If Kentucky is serious about basketball Coach Pope should be gone by Monday.
It’s hard to describe how bad Northern Arizona is. To lose that game would have been the worst loss in program history. We can’t overlook that just because Wilkins made a shot.

The two great tests of a professing Christian, according to 1 John, are the test of doctrine (who is Jesus?) and the test of ethics (do you love?).
I hope we can be saddened by both failures in our politicians, and to preach the true, heart-transforming gospel to all.
Cats were better on both sides of the ball in that half. Three drives killed by officials and one bad defensive play. We could easily be up a touchdown or more.
Let’s go do it in the second.

Two absolutely horrendous holding calls against Kentucky to kill multiple drives. The twelfth man is out in Knoxville.

In the same stretch: Kentucky has been a road underdog 7/7 time and has won 4 of those games straight up.
Sports media: “Tennessee has the best home field advantage in college football.”
Stats: Tennessee is 3–4 in home SEC games since the start of last year, and has been outscored by SEC opponents at home during that stretch.

We are more than halfway through the college football season and Kentucky has the best resume of any team in the SEC.*
*I am not saying they are the best team. But only one loss, win against LSU, and three road conference wins is the best SEC resume.
