All love for the Big Blue Nation!
Good morning, BBN!
The Kentucky Wildcats are entering their bye week, and the BBN is bought back in after a turbulent start this college football season.
First, the Cats got blasted by South Carolina, and then, in bounce-back fashion, they took the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs to the wire. Now, they are coming off a top-10 road upset as they shut down Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss in Oxford.
Arguably one of the biggest wins in program history, it seems to easily be one of (if not the top) signature win of the Mark Stoops era in Lexington. Knowing this, the UK head coach gave a huge shout-out and thank you to the BBN for their support.
“I’m proud for our fanbase, they deserve a win like that,” Stoops said.

This fanbase has been through it over the course of franchise history, and with this last win it feels like the ceiling that was once thought to be to high might actually be in reach for Stoops and his staff. Especially if he starts to adapt and become more aggressive in his offensive philosophy.
The BBN is bought back in and the season is now in their hands with two top-ten matchups still left in Tennessee and Texas. Going to be a fun end to the season now, when it once looked so bleak.
Go Cats!
