I agree with katwest ^^^., having such a young, inexperienced team going up against a very talented AND experienced team, at this early point in the season, does not bode well, IMHO.
I'm sure I'll get blasted by a few on here, but that's OK, anyone who knows me knows I bleed KENTUCKY BLUE. I'll be honest, I just don't like having to rely on freshmen every season, at least not to the extent that we are this season. I fully realize this is a product of the OAD, and Cal is bringing in terrific players every year, but we simply don't have guys who have been through the "wars", the guys who can lead and settle a young team down when it's needed most.
Yeah, I'm also a product of the old school, a time when each team had a balance of youth and upper classmen, and I miss that. I miss not seeing the young guys develop and grow from one year to the next and not having to be thrust into a role of starter from day one.
We have a ton of talent on this team, and I love my Cats no matter the make up of the team, I just wish we were able, somehow, to be in the position of having a few upper classmen on each team.
That said, and because of it, I just don't foresee us beating a talented and experienced team like KU, not in November anyway.
Like I said, blast away if it makes you feel better, but you won't find a bigger Kentucky fan than myself, and I hope our beloved Cats can find a way to gel and beat the Chokehawks tomorrow.
