Wildcat Quickies: Moving On Edition

I'm not really sure what to say about Saturday other than...What else is new?

It's been the same old song and dance for pretty much the whole season: Good starts and bad finishes, so we really shouldn't be surprised Saturday went the way it did.

In the end, the season is almost certainly over outside of a possible bowl bid. All we can do now is move on and hope Mark Stoops makes the right coordinator/assistant coach hires this offseason and continues to pull Kentucky football out of one of the darker periods in program history.

Tweet of the Day:

The #B16BlueNation is ready to work. No fair weather commits. We're going to do our best to help get this job done. We need your support.
