The Rivalry Rant: A Tale of Two Teams
In the world of college football, there’s one thing that brings a sense of pride to the Bluegrass State: consistently dominating their in-state rivals. A five-game winning streak, a memorable fumble, and season-ruining upsets are just a few highlights of this lopsided rivalry. However, with a 10-month hiatus and no rematch until November, you’d think the opposing coach would focus on more pressing matters.
Instead, Jeff Brohm is still seething about officiating calls from their last encounter, a game with a mere three penalties and a declined holding call. It’s easy to point fingers, but perhaps he should reflect on his team’s fourth-quarter meltdown, the ill-fated kickoff return for a touchdown, or the three-touchdown performance by their opponent’s star player.
This bitter rivalry extends beyond the field, with fans on both sides engaging in good-natured trash talk. While some might find solace in taunting their opponents, others, like Brohm, prefer to cry foul. Perhaps he should redirect his energy towards the upcoming ACC matchup against Georgia Tech.
As for me, I’ll take pleasure in watching my rivals stumble. There’s no need for them to be at the top of their game before our showdown. In fact, a few losses beforehand would make their eventual defeat all the more satisfying. Maybe this season, they’ll focus on holding onto the ball instead of turning it over three times. That’s where I’d start the complaining.
