Walkin' with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walkin' in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Marc Cohn -- Walkin' in Memphis

- Brooks is not thinking about retiring. Who thought he was?
- Beale Street Blue.
- Position by position matchups.
- Who will want it more? The question is, are the Pirates just excited to be there, or hungry for victory. UK has to be a bit disappointed in their season. based just on a quick view, you'd have to say the Pirates are more likely to want it more.
- Mitch picks the Liberty Bowl. Nice analysis here.
- Mark Story says that the Liberty Bowl is no yawning matter. I think he makes a good point here. If we are going to establish Kentucky as a program on the rise, it's not only important that we consistently get to bowls, but that we consistently win them, especially against non-BCS conference opponents.

According to Jody Demling, "East Carolina, which is favored by three points, can become the first C-USA team to beat an SEC foe in the three years those conferences have squared off in the Liberty Bowl."
Not a distinction UK wants, believe me. - Could the Liberty Bowl be Trevard Lindley's NFL audition?
- Great story on the pre-Liberty Bowl shenanigans from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
- Brooks responds to the fact that most pundits and fans consider UK an underdog.
