Maybe I am a pessimist, maybe I'm just a Debbie Downer, but tomorrows game is giving me a legitimate need for a prescription of Xanax. The atmosphere and excitement in Lexington and around UK football is palpable, especially as we have gotten closer and closer to Saturday. I cant decide if I want to throw up from excitement or nerves. I said during the preseason that UK would have a chance to win in 11 of their 12 games, and maybe I was selling them short by not giving them much of a chance to win @ Georgia, this coming Saturday has been circled on the calendar since we were hosed out of a "W" last year, we know we can play with this team, CWS will be insane tomorrow and the fanbase may will them to victory on their own. With all of these positive factors, why am I still so nervous? Why am I having a trouble shaking the moniker that is UK football, the adage that we find ways to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory? Maybe its because I still have nightmares of UK fans hanging from the goalpost as LSU won on a last second hailmary, or maybe its the flashbacks to losing to Arkansas in a hundred overtimes, or it could be the fact that UK has never beaten Florida in my life time. I believe in Stoops, I believe in the direction of UK football, they are changing the mindset and the attitude of the administrators, fans, and most importantly, the players. We are investing time and money into this program and its on the rise, that's undeniable. But much like Pavlov's dogs I have been conditioned to expect a certain result when it comes to the Blue and White. So i am asking, no I am begging; friends, family, BBN inspire some confidence in me as to why we will win tomorrow, why we will break the streak. Why Towles, Boom, Horton, Juice, Hatcher, Stamps, Westry, Forrest, Bone, Baker and Stoops and Dawson are not the UK of old, but are a changing of the guard. Because why cant we win, why cant we challenge for the east? Why not?
