I have traveled to Knoxville two years in a row to watch the Cats and couldn't have had more fun. Nashville is a great town to celebrate NYE. I have no interest in traveling six hours away to watch UK play Conference USA in the Liberty Bowl. What is UK thinking? This makes no sense to me.

What is UK thinking?

What you have 119 Division 1 teams and 68 of these go to 34 bowls. Damn, that is 58%. Rose bowl it is. Rather listen to president Bush talk live than watch UK in a toilet bowl. UK has been a bottom feeder of the SEC since Fran was forced out. Brooks needs to retire once again and Mitch needs to pay some big bucks for a coach who has been to the Super Bowl.

How many of the lame will be okayed to play by the first of January. I know Cobb is out, but what about the others? Would we have a fuller compliment of players by bowl game? That would be factor at where I land on this issue. Kentucky is clearly not the team they were the past two years. They have taken a step backwards in this Rich Brooks era, and will have a difficult time putting points on the board regardless of they play. I can't believe I live in Atlanta and can't get tickets to Saturday's Alabama-Florida game...can you help a former Kentuckian out?? Ha! Bill Hey John,

They seemed to demolish after the stomping at Florida. Indeed the last two games were very lame attempts. Without an offense and minus a quarterback, what causes folks to think the Cats can do well in a bowl game? Kentucky has not really proven that they “deserve” a bowl game this year.

I would be very exited to go to Memphis if I could. I have another commitment and simply can't go this year. I think the UK fans would relish a different experience, and Memphis is, well, fun. Lots of great eats and great party places in Mississippi's largest city. I can only imagine when the ducks come down to the lobby at the Peabody. They will be walking straight into a blue fog.

I will go the Memphis!!! I will watch the cat's WIN!!! I enjoy the idea of somewhere different for the bowl game and do think it is the best choice for this team. We have three bowls in a row, I want the three winnings seasons in a row!!! LIBERTY!!! AND A WIN!!! GO BIG BLUE!!!!

They want to go somewhere different besides Nashville. Noone can blame them for that. As far as the opponent and date, the opponent is lower profile and that is a valid point. The date doesn't matter. That is just your opinion but whether it's new years day, eve, or the day after, I don't think the players care. I do agree however Vandy kind of gets the shaft but hey it it's been 25 years since you last went, beggers can't be choosers. Lets ask UT, Mich, Aub, and Ark if they will trade places and go .

I was among the blue-clad faithful 2 years ago at LP Field when the Cats played clemson and we had a blast. I would definitely consider returning to Nashville to see us play a reputable opponent, despite the woes of the offense, and most recently, the defense. Hopefully with a month to practice and get healthy the team can finish strong and we can build on something for next year. John,
