If there were ever a game to stay home, last night’s was it. The combination of the Vanderbilt frustration, the freezing wind, and football’s 122nd ranked team as the opponent made for a rather unappealing evening in Commonwealth Stadium. So if you were one of the ticket holders who stayed in, we understand. It’s not completely okay, but it will slide this one time.
As for the fans who were there, way to go. You fought the elements, our first night of winter in Lexington, to support the Wildcats through thick and thin. Your wind-burned face and frostbitten toes are minor battles wounds in the war of football progress, and it did not go unnoticed.
