Can Kentucky End Their Malaise?

It's not easy being a Kentucky Wildcat (football) fan. This season probably won't be any easier.

Vols fans, especially those of us who remember the heady days of the program in the mid to late 90's—the days when a single loss to Florida was enough to ruin the entire season—might be excused for feeling that the program has fallen into a bit of a rut. Even the slow decline of Philip Fulmer's reign saw the mighty Vols make three (unsuccessful) trips to Atlanta to play for SEC Championships in the 2000's. That last trip, 2007, seems like ancient history, and our subsequent three head coaching changes have thus far failed to return Big Orange to glory.
