Mark Stoops Confident BBN Can "Pound Some Beers" for Noon Kickoff
The Big Blue Nation let out a collective sigh a week ago when we learned Kentucky would host Florida at Noon. The game will receive a premium time-slot on ESPN, but almost all fans prefer a late night atmosphere for a big game.
The last time Kentucky hosted Florida at Kroger Field, it was a raucous crowd from the primetime game under the lights. The crowd pop for Trevin Wallace‘s touchdown off a blocked field goal is the stuff of legend. Kentucky fans forced Florida to commit one pre-snap penalty after another. Mark Stoops believes the BBN can provide that same energy, even though the game is at noon, not at night.
