This is the official A Sea of Blue Open Game Thread for the Sam Houston St. Bearkats @ Kentucky Wildcats in this first round game of the Cancun Challenge tournament.

I have decided to merge the pre-game and Open Game Threads into one for this game, because there is so little real data available on the Bearkats.  First, the game particulars, courtesy of UKAthletics.com:

Gameday Information

It goes without saying that any game where bowl eligibility is on the line is a big game for Kentucky, and this is such a game.  Without the unfortunate home loss to Mississippi St., Kentucky would be looking at this game being the icing on an improved season over last year.  Now, this is a pivotal contest upon which the football Wildcats' post-season hopes could easily be riding.

If UK fails to win this game, it's bowl hopes will ride on defeating either Georgia in Athens or a rising Tennessee squad in Commonwealth Stadium.  Both those games present significantly more obstacles to success than Vanderbilt does.  Bottom line -- win this game, Wildcats, or the odds are your post-season hopes go up in a cloud of gold and black smoke.

First of all, a quick note:  I will be at Churchill Downs today enjoying the Breeder's Cup simulcast.  I expect to be able to watch some of the game, and comment from time to time via the iPhone, but the post-game comment may be late (it depends upon whether or not Ken has time to put up post-game commentary).

Since SB Nation doesn't provide a special open game thread for exhibition games, it's just more convenient for me to combine all that into one.
