It still doesn’t feel real. From being ahead by double digits in the fourth quarter to a heartbreaking final few minutes, last night was tough. But for me, it’s all I’ve known. I am not 32 years old; I have never seen the Cats defeat the Gators. And that’s what makes this the hardest.
The classic “That’s So Kentucky Football” mantra has been long embedded in my vocabulary. I’ve heard it countless times and I’ll be honest: I’ve even said it more than I’d like to admit. But I hadn’t experienced the heartbreak that so many Kentucky football fans have felt over the course of a lifetime.
