To Big Blue Nation, I feel you.
I wanted this win more than anything. I have sat through 20 years of Florida losses, and I was desperately hoping that I would witness the first win, in person, since 1986. As I sat there in section 210 along with the rowdiest of Kentucky fans, the night was special.
And then it wasn’t.
This is the second most painful loss I have experienced as a Kentucky fan, along with Wisconsin in 2015. This loss can be attributed to lack of discipline, disorganization, and playing not to lose. When Kentucky took a 27-14 lead, everything just felt right.
