The Dusty Mills Effect

by EEWildcat on Feb 27, 2009 5:29 PM EST

Rewind your clock to February 12, 2008. Kentucky has its worst and most embarassing loss of the season - a devastating 41 point shellacking at Vanderbilt, where we were never in the game. Following the game, Dusty Mills is kicked off the team.

Fast forward to February 25, 2008. Kentucky has its worst and most embarassing loss of the season a - 16 block swatfest at South Carolina, where we were never in the game. Following the game, AJ Stewart is kicked off the team.

I'm having difficulty seeing how this is supposed to inspire me?

We didn’t exactly set the world on fire at the end of last season…

Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

well

I’m not sure if it supposed to inspire you, exactly, but, after the Vandy game at Nashville last season we did win 7 out of our next 9 games — that’s not too horrible, is it? : )

make that 6 out of 9 instead, please. : )

Also, if the reports coming from KSR are accurate and AJ is still on the team (that would make me very happy, I like AJ) then I guess the point of the fanpost is moot since you can’t connect the Vandy and USC losses by using the departures of players.

But, in an effort to try and connect the two embarrassing losses (Vandy and USC) pointed out in the post somehow : ) – it is kind of an interesting coincidence that it was LSU we played right after the Memorial horror show last year — and we won! So, I suppose that could be seen as an inspiration and maybe it means good things for us against LSU again tomorrow, huh? Ok, I’m grasping a bit here, but you get the idea………….. : )
