This matchup marks Kentucky's first road trip since being throttled 35-14 at Georgia back on October 4th. It pits two programs against each other that are currently defined by fan frustration and coaching uncertainty. Big Blue Nation's calls for Kentucky to move on from Mark Stoops are growing louder, while Auburn fans are equally restless with Hugh Freeze, who recently felt compelled to ask his Athletic Director for a public vote of confidence. Not sure I have ever seen that.
Fans find humor in the misery
Given the struggles of both teams (Kentucky 2-4, Auburn 3-4), the announcement of a prime-time SEC Network slot was met less with excitement and more with dark humor from weary fans online.
