When the Florida Gators and Kentucky Wildcats kick off on Saturday night in Lexington, what does November 15, 1986 mean? Absolutely nothing.
Yes, the date marks the last time that Kentucky beat Florida, but really that’s about it. The fact that Stephen King’s It was the best-selling book of that week and now the film reboot is the highest grossing movie in theaters has more significance.
None of the Florida players, nor the Kentucky players, were born at the time of the Wildcats last victory over Florida. For that matter, neither head coach had begun their coaching career.
