You know when a relationship is trending in the wrong direction and a breakup feels inevitable, no matter how much love you have for the other person or the beautiful memories you share? It’s not that you want it to end necessarily, but you can’t escape the feeling that it needs to end and both sides would be better off because of it. That’s Kentucky football under Mark Stoops, and the Wildcats’ 16-13 overtime loss to No. 21 Texas at Kroger Field drove that point home maybe harder than ever.
Last night sucked, man. I told myself that only two results were meaningful moving forward, one being UK wins — obviously the preference every Saturday — and the other being embarrassing blowout losses.
