Good morning, BBN!

It’s time for the game everyone is looking forward to, regardless of the teams’ record: Kentucky Wildcats vs. Louisville Cardinals.

It’s also time for the Cutter Boley Kentucky era to begin. We’ve seen him a few times this year and given Brock’s performance on the field, it was pretty easy for Mark Stoops to give Boley the starting nod today.

Look, it’s been a tough year. Could Stoops and Co. have handled things better off the field? Probably, but one thing you can’t take away from this coaching staff is how much they always care about this game and how much it means to BBN as a whole.

No matter what happened or how you feel, it’s time to get behind this coaching staff once again.

Whatever happens after that doesn’t matter, let’s go to Kroger Field and cheer on these Cats for the last time this season! It’ll be fun.
