The second half of the SEC season would not be as chaotic as the first, but it would still be as competitive as any that Kentucky has faced in recent memory, despite the Wildcats being able to complete the conference slate unscathed. There would be more close calls and more what-ifs, but Kentucky still acquitted themselves well, if less dominantly that most in the Big Blue Nation had hoped.
As a personal aside, I am sorry, dear brother or sister of the Big Blue Nation, that these final few entries in the season postmortem have taken so long.
