Not to beat a dead horse but this is quite the production here today. Those who have taken their shots at UK admin have no beef anymore.

I love it ... keep in mind, we have a $300K Big Blue Madness to make up for on the football side ...

People showing up only 30 minutes early today won't be getting a seat. This place is full.

Seriously, can't people just be happy for a day? I mean, why does EVERYTHING have to be turned into football vs. basketball? Just enjoy the day. It's clear they are making a concerted effort.

Sorry ... wasn't trying to start anything ... I'm tickled to death with the new hire and the effort put forth by the administration the last few weeks. Guess my true sense of humor didn't come through in my post.

Sorry, wasn't trying to either. Some twitter folks were already starting in about UK not supporting football. I just hate to see when people only seem happy if they're unhappy, you know? That seems like a terrible way to live.

A bit off subject, but thought about this driving up to stadium today... wonder how Joker Phillips feels today? A friend of mine saw him and his wife at the airport the other day. Probably a good idea for him to get away for the weekend, but has to be a difficult thing. Anyways, back to today's event...

I'll be sitting just behind the Stoops family. Fascinated to see their reaction to all of this.

Very surreal scene. To echo Matt's sentiments, not sure I've ever seen anything quite like this for UK football.

It might not be all bad for him. I'm sure he's sad but maybe he also feels like a 50 ton elephant has been lifted off his shoulders as well.
