Go Cats!

Being a fan and alumna of the University of Kentucky has rarely been a reason to be a football fan--I was really only interested in the tailgating before the games. Until yesterday. I'm so far removed from most of the news about UK sports that I have to rely on something spectacular happening so that it gets posted on the Comcast home page and I have a chance of seeing it when I start up Firefox. Last night I caught a mention of Kentucky in one of the headlines and was amazed to find out as I read further that they toppled #1 LSU in a triple overtime game. I'm just hoping this doesn't mean that the basketball team will suck this year. I don't know if the universe will continue to exist if UK pulls off both a good football and basketball team in a single year.

All this reminds me of a football game when I was a student when a bunch of people tore the goalposts down after UK won. (I can't remember who we beat...) Anyway, one of the uprights ended up at the frat house where I always hung out, and they cut it up into pieces for a bunch of people. I still have a chunk of it. How many people can claim that they have a piece of a college football goalpost?
