Okay. This was a more pleasant Saturday morning. I woke up early, got all my weekend work done, did 10 miles, picked up groceries, made meatloaf with curried carrots, and hit play on the DVR and joined the game thread about 30 minutes into the game.
As I said in the Saturday Predictions, this game was primed to be a WWI trench warfare style meat grinder—yes, the minute I wrote that I got a hankerin’ for meatloaf, and added ground beef to my grocery list—but surprisingly turned into an offensive back and forth. Of course, allowing a Bob Stoops led Kentucky Wildcats team to hang 38 on you is not a good look for year 7 of “The Defensive Genius,” but we’re all in agreement that Derek Mason needs to be fired.
