Missouri's Martez Manuel hates Kentucky: "There's bad blood there"

Louisville, Tennessee, Florida… Missouri? All of Kentucky’s bitter rivals on the football field, especially the Tigers. Apparently.

If you ask Missouri defensive back Martez Manuel, at least.

In an appearance at SEC Media Days in Atlanta on Monday, the 6-foot senior made it very clear he is not a fan of the Kentucky football program. In fact, Manuel says he sees the Wildcats as a bigger rival than the Arkansas Razorbacks.

“Kentucky — and this is my personal opinion — I feel like it’s more of a rivalry game than Arkansas, personally,” he told Aaron Gershon of The Cats Pause.
