Expectations of Fans!!!

In my last post I discussed how I felt the fans' expectations of the Kentucky football team are right on the mark. We should be beating the likes of South Carolina and Mississippi State (especially at home). But I also feel the Kentucky football and basketball teams should being getting more out of their fans. We (the fans) were upset that UK lost to MSU on Halloween night which was also Homecoming, but how about the fans. Talk about a boring environment! From the start of the season the Kentucky athletic department promoted this as a blackout game, which yes is a good way to make more money for the athletic department. I actually thought it was a great idea and if anybody has watched Penn St when they do a "White Out" game it is absolutely awesome to see 90,000 plus fans screaming in all white. So when the Kentucky begged Coach Brooks to wear black jerseys to match the fans and to help the environment you could tell they were real excited about their first "Blackout" game, but how they must have felt when they came out of the tunnel to see that maybe half of the fans had on black. Now I am not the brightest fella but when I go to a game to support my team and they ask me to wear black...... I wear black! Ok some had on black shirts but put on a blue jacket over it, do these fans not understand the purpose of a "Blackout"? I know it was cold but plan ahead almost everybody I know owns a black coat or jacket so......wear it!!! There is no way the fans should expect so much out of the Cats if they can't even wear black to a game. Plus don't even get me started on the lack of noise at both basketball and football games! So message to the fans you can make a difference in a game so step up!
