Mel Kiper on UK

[Clam]

I was driving in my car on Saturday and listening to ESPN Radio's "Gameday" program. Mel Kiper, Jr. was being interviewed about the upcoming college football season and was asked who "this year's Boise State" would be. Mel said he thought Kentucky had a chance if their defense could improve. Before he could get more than a sentence out about it, the interviewer told Mel to pick a team that wasn't from a major conference, so Mel stopped talking about UK.

However, that's a nice endorsement for our potential this year and a good sign that UK's program is "on the radar" of ESPN. Similarly, Colin Cowherd mentioned UK this week when he was discussing how much more improved the SEC is now versus when Saban was last a coach in it.

Just wanted to let you all know, since I didn't see anything about it on the board.

Thanks, Clam. Cowherd has made a lot of nice comments about UK in the last year, but it's nice to hear even Mel coming around and giving us some positive press.

Kirk Herbstreit had some nice things to say too on ESPN last week. UK was his "team to watch out for" in the SEC.

Thanks for the info, Clam and others. Too, it's so nice to be hearing some good remarks about UK football this summer. GO CATS!!!
