The Quickies this morning starts out small, but will undoubtedly grow pretty quickly. I'm sorry for the late start, but I slept in until almost 11:00 this morning, quite a departure from my 7:00 AM normal wakeup time.

Your quickies follow the jump.
Kentucky soccer edges Louisville 1-0 // The Courier-Journal

Larry is still not believing in a bowl, but like me, he sees a lot more in this team than he expected.
Tennessee vs Florida: Baby, Have You Got Enough Gas? // Rocky Top Talk
RTT is ready for the Gators. This is a big game for the Vols. Like us, they have an embarrassing losing streak to the Gators. The difference, though, is that theirs is over three times shorter.
