Good morning, folks! Does anyone have any idea what the hell just happened? Let’s try to break it down spark notes style…
On Saturday morning, hours ahead of Kentucky’s rivalry showdown against No. 10 Louisville, head coach Mark Stoops’ name was tossed into the mix as a potential candidate for the vacant head coaching job at Texas A&M. Stoops was previously an assistant under former head coach Jimbo Fisher when the two were at Florida State over a decade ago, so there was a slight connection.
Hours later, Kentucky pulled off the upset of its season, beating the Cardinals 38-31 to secure the program’s first road win over an AP Top 10 opponent since 1977 (I promise we’ll talk about that game more in just a moment).
