    Article: Optimism abound....

    Man... this article is as about as optimistic as as it comes... if you want to get excited for the football season, this article is for you...

    In the course of doing my preseason look at the Kentucky Wildcats Football season, I have been reminded several times I have Kentucky going 6-0. Am I on to something or suffering from heat stroke?

    I'm a huge UK fb fan, but I'm not buying the 6-0 start. I agree that it's probably more possible than it has been in years, but I'm thinking 5-1. Having said that, I'd love to be wrong and the writer of the article to be right.

      We simply must beat Florida sometime. Now is as good a time as any. @ South Carolina will be very tough as well but we have a Junior/Senior team and should take care of business there. The first half should be 4 to 6 wins. The second half is much tougher and should be 2 to 4 wins. IMO that gives the Cats a range of 6 to 10 wins for the season.

        More than likely our season will be defined by two areas: QB play and the defensive line.

          Blue Kool Aid is really good on a hot summer day!

          Seriously, a 6-0 is plausible but not likely. I agree with RV, gotta find a way to bear the Gators.

              this is probably the best way to put it... We will have a competitive chance to win each one of the 1st 6 games. It to do so would mean that we caught every break and the ball bounced our way every time.

              but hey, sometimes you catch all the breaks!

                Hard for me to be that optimistic. Injuries as usual will be a critical factor at U.K. Too many questions about a thin unproven defensive line to get on the 6-0 train. SEC games almost always boil down to d-line play and turnovers. If we stay healthy and our line performs we will have a good season, if not middle of the pack. I AM cautiously optimistic about our O-line, could be the best we have had in years, if our QB is proficient enough to complete enough passes to keep our opponents from loading the box with War daddies we could have a very good offense.
