With all do respect  I think your article about Saturdays game was untrue. A good 10 minutes is better than 40 bad minutes.  I think they played  a very good game.  Especially Liggins and Stephenson  who had a very good game.  Meeks and Patterson always have a good game.  The Cats  started coming around the last few minutes of the 1st  half.  A win is a  win whether it be  by 25 points  or 1 point.   I thought we pplayed a great game, one of the best I’ve seen in a while. So don’t be so hard on the Wildcats  all the time.  You seem to always have something negitive to say about the Wildcats.

Took awhile getting started but then they  really went to work on Vandy.  Sadly, they seemed not to know what to do with a big lead and frittered it away.  It looks as if they are coming together and the play of the other team scorers was encouraging.  Now, if Billy Bob can cure that let down, they can cut a wide swath in the SEC.

The last three years of Ky football have resulted in 23-l6 over all record, about 59%.  Without the bowl games the percentage is 55%.  And you guys are wild about them.  I don’t know how long coach has to go at that rate to bring his over all record to 50%, a thousand years?  Tennessee canned Fulmer.

I’m pretty tired of the media harping on a third scorer for UK……….what is wrong with Harris 12, Stevenson 10, Porter 8 & Harrellson 5?……….that’s 35 points on a day that Meeks & Patterson are well below their averages………… pretty good contribution to me!!!
