I think the blue/dark blue is going to look great and the white "KENTUCKY" will really pop.

Should provide some great photo opportunities for Auburn, UT, UF and UGA this season. Unis will really pop while celebrating on that background.

I'll have to wait until the finished product is up, but the colors do look great.

You do expect the turf to last more than one season...don't you?

Yeah, the Bermuda grass field was extremely hard to maintain, especially October-December and because of this, the team couldn't get an practice on the actual game field.

Stoops has said one of the reasons he wanted to go with turf was so that the team could practice in the stadium leading up to games.

Also, the turf won't be an absolute disaster in November/December as it has been forever.

I expect it will in much the same way as I expect your reading comprehension level to be questionable.

Same for Mizzou while extending the CONSECT SEC road wins string to 9. White, black and a hint of gold. Nice!

Speaking of Kentucky football how do the Wildcats look this year? Is the Stoops rebuilding project still moving forward?

So it's like Tennessee's endzone, except it's blue.

How creative.

Hopefully. A bowl game is a must this season to keep recruiting momentum from slipping.

There's a lot to like about UK's skill positions but the offensive line has some big question marks, especially at LT. However, there is no issue inside or at RT, and the projected starters are going to be better than what UK has seen in some time (outside of Larry Warford).

On the defensive side of the ball, there are some serious questions at CB (field corner, specifically) but S and DT should be very very strong. LB play will improve, but losing Dupree (Jack) and Z. Smith (DE) is going to hurt.

Much like any other team, UK will be as good as its QB play. Towles has a lot of talent but needs help from the OL and to make faster/better decisions with the ball.

If Towles improves on his ~60% 2700 YD 14 TD season from 14, UK will surprise some people.

Yes...the poster you were replying to said "this season"...however, in your post you made reference to how the white would "pop". There should be plenty of white uniforms "popping" in your endzone for many years to come...

Kentucky had the checkered end zones first. Stoll Field had it in the 30's. Tennessee started it at Neyland in the 60's.

Well if you manage to beat Louisville and hold serve in the rest of your OOC games then I'd say y'all aren't in bad shape. Need to get by Vanderbilt and then pick up an upset somewhere along the way. Tough but doable.

I'm getting so rustled at the implication that Kentucky football isn't very good. Literally shaking with rage.
