Ahhh, so THIS is what being a college football fan is supposed to feel like!

[blurredvision]

Year in and year out, us Kentucky Wildcat fans typically start looking forward to basketball season about this time of year. Our football team will typically be headed towards the bottom of the SEC East. Atleast until last year, when we actually surprised many by beating Clemson in a bowl game (myself included).

Now, as luck would have it, we have a damned good football team, and somehow have gotten ourselves ranked 8th in the nation in both major polls. Our quarterback is ranked in the top 3 or 5 in most all Heisman watch lists, and the fanbase as a whole aren't scared of going into yearly clobberings with the likes of Florida, LSU, and others. Hell, we're even in sole possession of first place in the SEC east, a truly odd feeling being since it's October.

I guess one could argue that we haven't faced that stiff of a challenge, although both Louisville and Arkansas were ranked at one time. The next 3 weeks will be telling, with games at No. 11 South Carolina on Thursday night, then LSU and Florida at home. I always enjoyed college football as a whole, but never as a fan with their team in the mix of things, and being talked about by all the major sports outlets.

I don't expect this awesome season to carry into next year, so I'm going to eat it up while it's going on. Go Wildcats!

ahhh I don't want to hear it. My school had no football team and a moderately succesful mid-major basketball team. Ohhh no, the woes of only having a nationally ranked basketball team! Finally you can have some respect!

Welcome to SEC football.

I'm pulling for you to beat USC and UF, but the tigers will prevail and be 7-0 after beating UF, then UK the next 2 weeks.

yea but things get cutthroat around here, we haven't gotten a NCAA title in far too long, so we decided to play football well instead.

I think you can beat SC, but LSU and Fla will beat the wildcats. Key for them will be following up on this success with more good recruiting classes.

C-A-R-D-S!

CARDS!!!!!!

Hope you guys do well. KY is playing very good. They "can" beat LSU and Florida, but it will be an uphill struggle.

Dude, OP, I know what you mean. My gf graduated from UF all of 3 years ago so I'm a gator fan by default. But now my school, USF, is owning the big east and the nation is taking notice. I've never been more excited.

We are the bulls,

We are the We are the We are the bulls.

LSU will be a great game that the cats will likely lose, but I think we can handle florida

I think Kentucky's got a shot against FU. They get Florida at home and the Gators defense is vulnerable to the pass. I think the East will come down to Kentucky or S. Carolina.

I actually agree, but I had to bold that quote because reading it made me feel like I just stepped into the Twilight Zone.

Man, f**k college football this year

My Tarheels suck.

The ACC sucks.

My cousin and I paid $400 for 2 tickets to the WVU vs. Rutgers game at the end of the month. Then they both lost. Now those same tickets are gonna go for $100-$150 with all the bandwagon fans jumping off.

I can't wait till basketball season starts. Next year I'm going to pick an SEC team to root for.

My roommate is from Tuscaloosa and his dad is a professor at 'bama. I'd prefer not to be murdered in my sleep! I'll have to pick a team from the East--likely Georgia or SC.

I'm a Vanderbilt student, so I will probably never know what it means to be a real college football fan .
