Entering the 2015 Bye Week, the Kentucky football team was 4-1 and second in the SEC East. Our imaginations began running wild with the possibility of not only making an elite bowl, but potentially doing something UK has never done before – represent the East in the SEC Championship Game.
Even the craziest of the crazies knew that was a stretch, but many believed seven or eight wins could and should happen. The preseason expectation of “let’s just got to a bowl” had been replaced by “let’s win seven.”
The new expectation has led many to desert the team after three consecutive losses.
