A Fans Message To Our Kentucky Wildcats

As our Kentucky Wildcats there is a tradition to be upheld.Those that went before paved the way for you with blood and sweat.These men played thier hearts out every game for 60 minutes,no excuses.Whether they won or lost they could always look at thier teammates and say I did everything I could.They bled and and sacrificed so that you could be here today.They played the game with heart,passion,and purpose.They played through pain through adverse conditions and when they were outmatched.They played when they were hurt,when they were tired,and when others counted them out.They alone know your sacrifices and what faces you,not the fans,not your classmates,only them.There are many who do not have this opportunity that has been bestowed upon you.Those that gave thier all but ultimately came up short.Those whos careers ended when the final whistle of thier last high school football game sounded.Men whos heart and desire could not be outmatched but physical limitations did not allow them to play at this level.You all do not have those limitations.You stand here before your coaches,classmates,and fans with the skills to continue the tradition of the University of Kentucky.NOt many can say theyve stood where you are.There are those that doubt you,the group that says you cant do this,youre simply not good enough.Remember the boos,the constant nagging doubt from the media,all this means nothing.The only thing that can limit you is your own mind.If you set your mind to go out and give 100% for 60 whole minutes of football no one can stop you.Do this for the fan who has been at every game since the 70's,the old man in an eastern Ky hollow that didnt get his chance to prove himself on a collegiate football field,and mainly do it for yourselves.Play this game like its your last.Do not save anything for later,do not let up give everything youve got from the time the whislte blows to the last snap of the game.As fans we are sometimes critical of you,but know this,come Saturday every man,woman and child from this great Commonwealth will be standing proud,ready to root you on to a victory.The decision is yours to be made,do you just want to play this honorable game or do you want to be great at it.

GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
