THE BIG GAME!

For the UL and UK fans, the biggest game of the year is today.  I find it amazing that the sports people are talking about how good the UL team is going to be this year.  What?  UL has never been good.  In their good years they are mediocre at best.  In their bad years they really stink!  So, come on.  UL may be favored by a few points, but dominating....they're not.  I look for a good game today. I know UK is not a great team, or even what would be considered a good team, but they'll be respectable.  The biggest difference between UL and UK fans is that UK fans understand that their team is a so-so team, but we love them anyway.  UL fans think their team is a National Power, and once they find out their not, they quit going to the games and start selling tickets at Convenience Stores for 'Family of 4  admission for $10'. 
OK, UL is favored, and will probably win.  So I'll make my prediction for the game.  UL 27, UK 20.  Close game, but UL edges by a touchdown. 
POST GAME WRAP UP:  Well, it wasn't as close as I thought it would be, but everything else seems to be in order.  Louisville is a mediocre team and Kentucky is weak.  Kentucky has a weak defense, both with the pass rush and the secondary.  I would say if Kentucky wins more than 3 games this year it will surprise me.  Louisville, with their schedule, will win enough to be Bowl eligible.  However, if they played Kentucky's schedule, I would doubt it.
