Saturday was a special night, and it won’t be forgotten anytime soon in the hearts of the Big Blue Nation.
Saturday was the first time Kentucky beat the Florida Gators since the 1986 season. Making the 27-16 win even sweeter is that it was the first win in Gainesville since the 1979 season.
That kind of history is fun to beat, but it also had taken its toll on the fanbase, former and current players, especially in recent years when Kentucky gave away games it should have won.
As you can imagine, Twitter was quite the part when the game ended. Here’s a look at some of the best reactions from current and former players, as well as other members of the BBN:
For the BBN, and most importantly for the STATE OF KENTUCKY... THIS IS FOR YOU!
