And I think WCS played footballWhy do fans still freak out about this? Every single year Cal has been here the players always go home for Christmas, and every single year the yokels freak out about not practicing the full week before the UofL game.
UK is 5-1 vs UofL in those games, so whatever the team is or isn't doing hasn't seemed to hurt them. Knowing some in this fan base, though, if UK happens to lose to UofL, there will be an overreaction and all the blame will be placed on letting the players go home for Christmas.
It's Groundhog Day every Christmas
