Resilient Wildcats eager to repeat breakthrough win

[WildcatRick]

Jacob Tamme considers himself a pretty tough guy.

Growing up a Kentucky football fan, then becoming a player on one of the Southeastern Conference's historically mediocre programs, has a way of steeling your resolve.

Still, the Wildcats' tight end admits he just couldn't quite stop the waterworks after Kentucky's 24-20 upset of Georgia a year ago.

"I balled for about 15 minutes on the field in front of everybody," Tamme said. "It was such an emotional win because of the history of this program. Then, to be able to build on that since then, we've had some other great wins."

The win was the breakthrough victory the Wildcats had been working toward for years.

Such is an example of the CHARACTER and LEADERSHIP on this team. How could anyone NOT LOVE these guys!

Speaking of bawling, I expect lots of tears for me during the Senior Day ceremony (and I feel sure it will be the same for many others). I even tear up when I think ahead to losing these seniors. They are THAT SPECIAL.

Good luck to Jacob and all the players this Saturday AND the following one. I only hope we can be crying some tears of JOY at the end of Senior Day, of course. :)
