By nature of the historic rivalry, fans on Rocky Top are relishing in the Kentucky Wildcats’ miserable season. However, moving beyond the hatred of UK, what just happened could end up being good news for Tennessee football if you are superstitious.
Kentucky’s SEC Tournament loss to the Mississippi State Bulldogs ended their season Thursday. They finished the year 9-16. It was the first time they failed to have a winning season since 1989-1990 and the first time they had a losing season since 1988-1989, when they went 13-19.
