GOG #9: SEC Week 1

by JLeverenz on Jan 6, 2012 3:26 PM EST

It's conference time! UK opens SEC play with a couple of games against South Carolina and Auburn - two teams that are weaker than what UK players face in practice each day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, "Conference games are tough" and "winning on the road in conference is hard." Whatever. UK ought to win each of these games handily.

GOG #9: South Carolina/Auburn

GOG #10: Tennessee/Arkansas

Thanks JLev .. appreciate you putting the GOG together - makes my brain hurt some times - but I look forward to it

But if it makes your brain hurt then you are probably over-thinking it ;-)
