UK VP bails out student
WASHED AWAY WISHES
Male arrested on DUI, Butler posts bond By Patrick T. Sullivan psullivan@kykernel.com
UK’s executive vice president bailed a student out of jail Wednesday. Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Butler posted $7,500 bond for ROTC student Joseph Ches after Ches was arrested on charges of first-degree wanton endangerment and drunken driving. Police responded to a call from the apartments at 201 Simpson Ave. at about 12:30 Butler a.m. on a report of shots fired, the police report said. Witnesses said Ches fired a high-powered rifle into the air and driven away, according to the police report. Ches pleaded not guilty to the charges Wednesday. His license was suspended because he refused a breathalyzer test Ches to determine his blood alcohol content. UK spokesman Jay Blanton said he was unsure of any relationship between Butler and Ches, but Butler was not acting on behalf of UK in posting Ches’ bail. Ches is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing Jan. 13.
GLBT show educates community Outloud! advocates for suicide prevention, gay rights By Evan Baber features@kykernel.com
WRFL, UK’s student-run radio station, is home to a show centered on the gay community. On Friday afternoons when many students are putting the work of the week behind them, a group of students assemble live in-studio and prepare for a serious conversation. Outloud! has been a part of UK’s radio landscape since fall 2009 and has sparked discussion on topics that matter to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities. Vincent Purcell, who hosts Outloud!, along with a few of his friends, got the idea to adapt “OUTsource OUTloud,” a program that had previously broadcast on WRFL. The current reincarnation features panel discussions on news both international and local that pertains to what Purcell lumps together as “queer” culture.
“The gay rights movement doesn’t get much coverage in the national media, let alone in the local media.” VINCENT PURCELL Outloud! host
Recent topics discussed on the show range from news about the UK Gay Straight Alliance to a conversation about a pride parade in Siberia and the recent suicides of gay students attributed to bullying. “We believe that the gay rights movement is a part of the greater civil rights movement that has been going on for decades,” Purcell said, See OUTLOUD! on page 2 First issue free.

Orange crush Vols kill Cats’ chance of ending 26-game losing streak By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The streak continues. In his first year in charge of his alma mater, UK head coach Joker Phillips, who began his tenure with a win over bitter rival Louisville, couldn’t muster the same result in UK’s regular season finale. The rival Tennessee Volunteers extended the nation’s longest current winning streak of one team versus another with a 24-14 win over UK — their 26th consecutive victory over the Cats. All week, UK players and coaches privately emphasized the number 517: presumably the number of points the Tennessee Volunteers (6-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) had outscored the Cats (6-6, 2-6 SEC) during the streak. On Saturday, the only numbers that mattered to Phillips
and his players were those in the final score, which Phillips said concluded “a season of missed opportunities.” “I’ve never been in a game where you felt you had as much as control of the game, going for a chance to go up 14, but how quickly events change,” said Phillips, whose team also lost close SEC affairs to Ole Miss, Auburn, Georgia and Mississippi State this season. “What we did is give those guys a chance. We gave them life with our exchange problems at the goal line with a chance to go up 14, and then we let them get behind us numerous times with big plays in the passing game.” The game was a topsy-turvy affair with major momentum shifts throughout, particularly in the first half. Tennessee freshman wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers opened the game with a 78-yard kickoff

UK, which has been plagued
by slow starts all year, responded by marching 80 yards in 10 plays on its opening drive, capped by a 17-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Derrick Locke. See FOOTBALL on page 4
Cats volleyball makes NCAA field Team hopes to defeat Purdue, advance to Sweet 16 round By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
The UK volleyball team has something to be thankful for after this holiday weekend. For a school-record sixth season in a row the Cats were selected into the 64-team field for the NCAA tournament Sunday afternoon, according to a UK Athletics news release. It is the sixth time in six seasons UK head coach Craig Skinner’s team will play in the tournament, and the 12th time in school history that the Cats will participate in postseason
play. Skinner and his squad will head to West Lafayette, Ind., to take on the No. 16 overall seed, the Purdue Boilermakers. “We are excited to start the NCAA Tournament,” Skinner said in the news release. “We’ve played a lot of good teams this year to prepare us for this. Purdue is playing very well right now, so we will really need to focus in this week.” UK (17-13, 11-9 SEC) won three of its last four matches, including matches at home against No. 15 Louisiana State and at Mississippi, to propel itself into
the field. Despite ending its season with a straight-set loss to the Tennessee Volunteers, UK did enough in the eyes of the selection committee to earn itself a bid to the tournament. UK faced Purdue in West Lafayette in the NCAA tournament in 2006. The teams played in the second round of the tournament, with the Boilermakers prevailing over the Cats in straight sets. In 17 previous meetings overall between the two schools, Purdue holds a slim 9-8 edge in the series. Purdue is led by offensive playmakers Ariel Turner and Jaclyn Hart, who combine for 4.96 kills per set, as well as defensive specialist Carly Cramer,
who leads the team with 4.01 digs per set. The winner of the UK-Purdue match will face the victor of the game between Louisville and Middle Tennessee State in the second round. Play begins Friday, Dec. 3 beginning with the match between Louisville and Middle Tennessee State, followed by UK’s match against Purdue. The winners of those matches will face off Sunday, Dec. 5 in the second round with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the line. In 2009, Skinner’s Cats reached the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history, and they will look to make it back in 2010 out of the West Lafayette regionals.

Universities put a price on education By Lisa M. Krieger MCT

Sponsor This Dish!
SAN JOSE, Calif. — As tuitions climb in a still-shaky economy, college is feeling less like Animal House and more like Career U. To prove their worth, 20 California State University campuses are leaders in a national movement to measure education in dollars and cents, publicizing the salaries of their graduates. What’s a degree worth? It’s no longer measured by the number of days devoted to Milton, Marxism and margaritas. New data show that the midcareer median salary of a San Jose State University graduate is $92,900 — 21 times the current $4,440 investment for annual tuition. “Families want to see the rate of return on their investment,” said King Alexander, president of Cal State Long Beach, who with Cal State Chancellor Charles Reed is leading the campaign to measure a college degree like a mutual fund, IRA or 401(k). It also emphasizes how some courses of study are more lucrative than others, and how some universities are even altering their curriculum to cater to the new way of measuring what a degree is worth. University of California schools and Stanford University have not followed Cal State’s lead in touting gradu-
ates’ median salaries, which are compiled by the Seattlebased compensation company Payscale.com. After two decades in the work force, Berkeley and Stanford grads were earning significantly more — $109,000 and $119,000, compared with $92,900 for SJSU grads. This month, Cal State leaders adopted a two-step undergraduate fee hike that will raise tuition by a combined 15 percent by next fall. UC leaders are looking at increasing fees 8 percent for next school year. The campuses seek to prove what they’re worth. “Earnings are one of the real outcomes you can measure,” Cal State’s Alexander said. “And with high earnings come many other things. Graduates are good taxpaying citizens. Their homes are less likely to go into foreclosure. They read more. They have more leisure time, and contribute to their communities. There are huge spillover effects.” Many universities have resisted using graduates’ salaries as a measure of “educational outcome.” However, Cal State took the lead, in 2008 becoming the first and only university system in the nation to publish its graduates’ salary data. Now other public schools are following Cal State’s example. Within the next six months, 300 public universi-
ties will post salary information compiled by PayScale.com. The data — which only include graduates with bachelor’s degrees — show that students with the greatest “return on investment” are those who do well in technical majors, such as science or engineering, at a rigorous public school. For instance, graduates of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo earn just as much as graduates of the private Pomona College or University of Southern California — at less than half the cost. And the top 10 percent of students from Fresno State earn as much as midlevel students from Stanford, said Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis at PayScale.com. Some schools are even changing their course catalog. In Michigan, where the recession hit early and hard, Michigan State eliminated majors in American classics, and the University of Michigan created 100 new courses in entrepreneurship. Minnesota’s state colleges distribute colorful graphics that list how many students pass professional licensing exams. “Most parents don’t say, ‘Here’s $200,000, do whatever you want.’ There’s a utilitarian streak,” Lee said. “They ask, quite reasonably, ‘Will my child earn enough to make it worthwhile?’ “
“The simple fact of the matter is that people do still listen to the radio,” Purcell said. “The gay rights movement doesn’t get much coverage in the national media, let alone in the local media.” Outloud! attempts to go beyond idle chatter. By teaming up with the UK Counseling Center, the show has helped with suicide prevention education among the GLBT community.
While Purcell acknowledges the hard work and technical complexity he and the staff of Outloud! face weekly, he said the efforts of the show truly culminate in the calls and e-mails he receives from listeners whom the show has touched, helped or encouraged. Outloud! airs on WRFL 88.1 FM Fridays from 3 to 4 p.m.

Aguilera learns from “Burlesque” LOS ANGELES — In “Burlesque,” Christina Aguilera’s character points to a night club stage and says “I want to be up there.” It was an easy scene for Aguilera, who had a similar moment in her own life. “I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom, saying how much I wanted to be there,” Aguilera says during an interview at the Four Seasons Hotel. She’s joined by Stinky, a brown-and-white Papillion who sits quietly in a chair next to the singing superstar. “Thank God, cut to two years later, I won Best New Artist at the Grammys and performed there. And now, I’ve made a movie with one of my idols Cher,” she says. “It was easy for me to get into character, in that way.” The New York native, who turns 30 next month, plays a spunky singer who comes to the aid of a failing Hollywood burlesque club. Cher plays the club owner. Aguilera sing and dances, plus wrote several songs for the film. And, she had to act. “Burlesque” is her first real leap into acting, a world she found much harder than she had expected. She was so unsure of her acting skills, Aguilera refused to look at any footage during the filming. She didn’t want to start critiquing herself and lose the focus she needed to play the role. Director Steven Antin, who wrote the script with Aguilera in mind, had no doubt Aguilera could handle the singing and dancing. It wasn’t until he saw her hosting “Saturday Night Live” that he became convinced she had the acting ability to handle the role. It wasn’t just acting that tested Aguilera. Even composing the musical numbers, something that’s as familiar to her as breathing, offered a new challenge because the words had to fit the movie. “When I went in to write the music, I wasn’t just writing it from my own point of view. I had to look at the scene and look at what the motivation was behind the scene,” Aguilera says. “Then, I had to record the songs and figure out where I wanted to come from in my vocal approach.”
Horoscope To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 — Your dreams are stirring up your desire for change. Put together a well thought out plan for what you envision. Small steps make big progress. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Social activities cement relationships, as you meet unusual individuals. Don't try to imitate their glamorous style. Instead, invent your own. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6 — Use all the facts at your disposal, as you create a plan for change. Maintain workflow at the same time. Decide how much time to spend on each task. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — Great ideas flow between you and key associates. You agree that a persuasive message is needed, and have a variety of ways to make that happen.
Aguilera wrote “Express,” the ballad “Bound to You” and the finale, “Burlesque.” She also performs covers of songs by Etta James and Mae West. All of this was done while performing dance numbers full of unabashed sexual energy that she learned through months of intense rehearsals and balancing being a new mom. “It was hard, but it’s always hard. As a mother, that’s your first priority. I have good help and I had the weekends off, which was good,” Aguilera says. “I was a mom on the weekends and I spent as much time as I possibly could with him. You just do it. It’s important for me to continue to work too, so that he can have an example of a strong woman in his life, and one that has her own passion, so that he can then have his own goals and dreams.” Aguilera says being a mom brings out elements of play in her that she hasn’t experienced in a long time, as well as unconditional love and patience. She’s needed patience to deal with recent professional and personal setbacks. Her last album, “Bionic,” was not a success and her marriage to Jordan Bratman ended. Aguilera expects her next album to be very different because she feels “Burlesque” changed her. “By the time I was done with the movie, I was just a completely different person. I had new things to say and new points of view,” Aguilera says. “Now, I’m in a place where I’m very much in an introspective state of mind. I’m a changed woman. So, I’m very much ready to actually make a new record. Nothing is ever a setback. If anything, it just motivates you for what’s next.” As for her marriage, Aguilera says: “I’m looking forward to the next chapter. I’m a smart girl. There are decisions that I make for reasons and the most important thing is that my son is happy and he always will be. He’s surrounded by love.”

WikiLeaks sinks public confidence There is a theoretical hero among us, but it’s a threat to public opinion and U.S. foreign policy. The public has an inalienable right to know about government corruption, but if certain information puts foreign policy at risk, I’d prefer to keep it quarantined, locked and guarded in confidential quarters. WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website committed to disclosing classified government, military and corporate documents, is radically enforcing CASSIDY and accountability of HERRINGTON transparency the U.S. government — against its Kernel will. columnist On Sunday, WikiLeaks released roughly a quarter-million confidential American diplomatic cables. About 11,000 of the documents were labeled “secret.”Publications including the New York Times, Britain’s The Guardian, Spain’s El Pais and France’s Le Monde have subsequently sifted through the heap of documents and published those they deemed “most interesting.” The New York Times has chosen to publish information “illuminating aspects of American Foreign Policy” and excised intelligence that could aid enemies to the U.S. As part of a series of New York Times articles published yesterday, the editor noted, “the Times believes that the documents serve an important public interest, illuminating the goals, successes, compromises and frustrations of American diplomacy in a way that other accounts cannot match.” Evgeny Morozov, the author of “The Net Delusion: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom” told the New York Times, “WikiLeaks is what happens when the entire U.S. government is forced to go through a full-body scanner.” Much like the newly TSA-implemented scanners at the airport, this exposure has spurred an uproar. Such information revealed by WikiLeaks and published in newspapers around the world include an alliance between Vladimir Putin and Silvio Berlusconi, the U.S.’ failure to prevent a Syrian arms race and closed-door comments by U.S. ambassadors regarding foreign leaders. Although the classified information has already been made public, newspapers and media outlets must consider the implications of the information they choose to publish. In the words of ProPublica Editor-in-chief, “WikiLeaks is not AP.” Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, is a journalist and former Internet hacker. His work has paralyzed the U.S. governments, and according to Harold Koh, State Department legal adviser, the released documents will have “grave consequences” for journalists, human rights activists and troops. While Assange has “heroically” pursued truth’s prevail over corruption, it seems he has attacked the wrong target. Cassidy Herrington is a journalism and international studies junior.

Giving thanks, no turkey necessary Remember Thanksgiving? Behind all of the turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, there’s a national holiday somewhere. In fact, there’s a holiday that’s been around for a long time. On Dec. 26, 1941, then President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill. That bill passed into law the national holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. But inking the holiday into an annual national celebration isn’t the point. It could’ve been made the second Wednesday or third ALEX Tuesday in a completely different month, but the real meaning would remain the same: alRISEN lowing us the time to give thanks for everyGuest thing we have. columnist Just a few days ago, I was able to go home and spend time with my family; I was able to spend time with the people who love and care for me the most. I think the few days away from school, homework and assignments afforded me an opportunity to truly look at what was important to me. Even though we’ve been through some difficult times in the recent past, my family has stuck together. That’s what family is supposed to do after all, right? Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce bury us without words. Football and movies keep us occupied for the rest of the day and night. But when I manage to say something other than a comment on the game or movie, my parents listen. “I love being home,” I said at the end of the night as we were cleaning the kitchen. My parents didn’t say anything, but they didn’t have to. I
could see it in my mother’s eyes. My one line said more than a “thank you” ever could; my mother’s eyes said more than a “you’re welcome” ever could. Thanksgiving isn’t about the food and football. There’s something understated about the simplicity of the day. It isn’t about the early openings of stores; the openings which now have crept their way into the holiday itself. There shouldn’t be any openings or any more distractions than there already are on Thanksgiving.
My one line said more than a ‘thank you’ ever could; my mother’s eyes said more than a ‘you’re welcome’ ever could. Isn’t the point of the day to relax and enjoy the company of those who love us most? With all of the cooking, cleaning and television watching, we barely have enough time to talk as it is. Why does a store need to open at 10 p.m. or midnight? 5 a.m. wasn’t early enough? Spending time with one another while shopping can certainly be entertaining, but it isn’t necessary. Let’s just take the day off. We’re supposed to have been doing so since 1941. So take a day to give thanks for your loved ones. Whether or not you had the chance last Thursday, just take a day and give thanks. Remember Thanksgiving. Alex Risen is a journalism senior. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

Cats have few words for disappointing season Team carries on tradition of loss, breaks postseason Tenn. tradition CHANDLER HOWARD
Kernel columnist
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The UK football program understands the most prominent trend of its latest installment. As hard as the players tried to sum up their regular season in other words, nobody could say anything truer than UK head coach Joker Phillips could. They each returned to one phrase. “I think our guys fought, scratched and clawed (this season), there’s no doubt about that,” Phillips said following the 24-14 loss to Tennessee Saturday. “But we were a football team that made mistakes, shot ourselves in the foot, missed opportunities ... As a whole, we
FOOTBALL Continued from page 1 On the Cats’ ensuing possession, they drove the ball to the Tennessee 1-yard line only to see Locke fumble the ball into the end zone and the ball recovered by Vols senior linebacker Nick Reveiz. “As far as momentum, it hurt,” senior quarterback Mike Hartline said. “We definitely needed those points, and that’s just one thing you can’t do down there.” The momentum pendulum swung in favor of the Vols and gave hope to the 101,170 fans in Neyland Stadium that history might yet repeat itself; the Vols’ next two possessions showcased an aerial attack by freshman quarterback Tyler Bray, who completed four pass plays of 10-plus yards, including 11and 12-yard touchdown passes to senior receivers Gerald Jones and Denarius Moore, respectively. Despite the Vols having negative seven rushing yards and nine minutes of possession at halftime, they led by a touchdown. “This is a tough place to
had opportunities. I would say it was a season of missed opportunities.” Senior quarterback Mike Hartline tried to elaborate on the thoughts Phillips couldn’t. “I mean, he’s not wrong,” Hartline said. “There were definitely games that we could have won, we should have won, we were a better team at, but we just didn’t necessarily play better ... This season was tough, it was a lot of missed opportunities.” Junior safety Winston Guy felt the same, only in less fluent order. “He’s right,” Guy said. “A lot of opportunities we had this whole year, you know, we missed ... It was just the games we were in the last second, in crunch time, where we needed big plays to put us ahead of our opponent. We just didn’t do it. Overall, this season was pretty good, but we could
play when the momentum gets on their side and the fans get into it,” UK wide receivers coach and former Volunteer quarterback Tee Martin said. “I felt it a little bit early in the game.” On the opening drive of the second half, UK completed an 11-play, 76-yard drive capped by a two-yard touchdown pass to Tennessee native and freshman tight end Tyler Robinson to knot the game at 14. Following a three-and-out by the UK defense on the Vols’ opening drive of the second half, momentum had appeared to shift in favor of UK once again, but the Vols faked a punt deep in their own territory on fourth down, converted the first down and later drove the ball into UK territory quelling the Cats’ momentum. The UK offense never replicated the same rhythm of its second-half opening drive afterward, and the Vols took the lead by virtue of a 2-yard touchdown run by junior tailback Tauren Poole late in the third quarter. The Vols later tacked on a 36-yard field goal in the last stanza. Though the Cats had their opportunities to seize the
have been better.” Even junior wide receiver Randall Cobb, who typically has more than his fair share of emotional speech, had to agree. “Exactly, (I’d describe the season) the same way,” Cobb said. “We’ve had a lot of opportunities to do some great things, we just didn’t capitalize on them ... It’s tough, it really is.” It seemed nobody could avoid the group of words — neither can the people who analyze football for a living. But wide receivers coach Tee Martin believes to have the remedy. “ ... we’re so close, and the young guys have to understand that the things we ask them to do, they’ve just got to do it unconsciously and not question it because you never know how close you are.” This season, UK was “close” quite often. With three of its six conference losses coming by one touchdown or less, the year can be summarized no other way than by those pesky words
game, execution or lack thereof, was what coaches and players pointed to as the deciding factor. “I legitimately think two teams beat us (this season) and we lost the rest of them,” Martin said. “If we play good, it’s not even close, but we didn’t, and they won so that’s it.” Game notes Tennessee leads the series 74-23-9, including a 39-10-6 mark in Knoxville … With 13 catches, UK junior wide receiver Randall Cobb recorded the second-most receptions in UK single-game history, three shy of the school record (16 by Craig Yeast vs. Vanderbilt in 1998) … Hartline’s 3,178 passing yards in 2010 ranks seventh all-time in UK single-season history … Hartline now owns 5,680 career passing yards to move past Bill Ransdell for fourth place on the UK career passing yardage list … Junior linebacker Danny Trevathan recorded a team-best 10 tackles in the game, his ninth game leading UK in tackles this season.

A farewell to fairy tales: ‘Tangled’ ends a genre MARTHA GROPPO
Kernel columnist Disney says it’s finished with fairy tales — the audience for them just doesn’t exist anymore. Maybe “Tangled” will convince them otherwise. Over Thanksgiving break, “Tangled” generated $69 million. That’s second place only to the heavily-anticipated-bya-cult-following Harry Potter at $78.8 million. That sounds like a big difference, but the third place “Megamind”made $17.5 million. The movie was a cute throwback to the animated films we went to see in theatres when we were little. Remember going to watch “Beauty and the Beast”? “The Little Mermaid”? “Aladdin”? Animation has certainly come a long way since those Disney classics were released, but the same primary elements are still there in “Tangled”: A beautiful princess (Mandy Moore), a handsome love interest (Zachary Levi), an evil witch, a few songs and, most importantly, a happily ever after. The adaptation of the classic story has been tweaked for a modern audience. Grimm’s original tale of a lovelorn prince throwing himself out of
Rapunzel’s tower into thorns and going blind isn’t exactly Disney appropriate. Rapunzel’s hair possesses magical powers that keep the story’s villainess perpetually young, and a major plotline is Rapunzel’s quest to realize she is capable of living on her own. Rapunzel’s love interest, Flynn Rider, is a suave thief — hardly Prince Charming in the traditional sense. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, the failure of the recent “Princess and the Frog” animated film, “prompted the studio to change the name of its Rapunzel movie to the genderneutral ‘Tangled’ and shift the lens of its marketing to the film’s swashbuckling male costar, Flynn Rider.” Disney says it wants more gender neutral movies. The “Princess and the Frog” failed because it was targeted too narrowly at little girls. The Los Angeles Times article quoted one children’s media expert as saying “By the time they’re 5 or 6, they’re not interested in being princesses. They’re interested in being hot, in being cool. Clearly, they see this is what society values.” The expert has a point — societal values have clearly shifted. But have they shifted enough to eradicate the appeal or value of the fairy tale altogether? I would venture to say they have not. Have you
walked into a Disney store recently and seen all the dolls, princess costumes and tiaras? Have you seen the iconic castle at the heart of Disney World? Or the box office numbers this weekend? Clearly, fairy tales aren’t out. The “Princess and the Frog’s” lackluster performance may have less to do with the fact that it was a princess movie, and more to do with the fact that it is full of voodoo dolls, creepy dark scenes and a sidekick character, a bug that gets squashed at the end of the movie. It’s probably a wise business decision to make movies that appeal to a broad audience, but “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” continue to make Disney millions — without gender neutral names like “Dozing” or “Shoeless.” “Tangled” may never join the ranks of Disney classics like “Snow White,” “The Little Mermaid” or “Beauty and the Beast.” It doesn’t have a spectacular musical score and the adaptation is less than traditional. Still, our kids might look at it one day as the last in the long line of princess movies that began in 1937. And my bet is they will still be watching them and loving them — tiaras and all.

the team couldn’t keep from rolling off its tongue. Heartbreaking losses to Tennessee, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Auburn (one of the most disappointing for UK, in my opinion) left the team wondering what could have been, had a few more breaks gone its way. Though 6-6 is the epitome of average, it simply isn’t fun. The numerous crushing losses take their toll on a program and its fanbase, as evidenced this season by UK. This season hasn’t felt so ordinary for many individuals who follow the team because of those chances that fell to the wayside, instances that kept UK from finishing 9-3 instead of .500. The biggest (and by “biggest” I mean only) highlight of the season was the victory over South Carolina in the middle of conference play. But talk of lost occasions for UK wasn’t the only thing coming from the players’ mouths. Another phrase echoing around the room following Saturday’s game gave light to the fact UK is bowl-

Though the bowl game seems to be an afterthought following the loss to the Vols, it means the team doesn’t have to close the book on its season just yet. It appears the Cats won’t be returning to Tennessee to
play their postseason again. So in a season of one negative trend, the team may elude another tendency that it has seen in recent years. So at least there’s that. Chandler is a journalism sophomore. E-mail choward@kykernel.com or follow him on Twitter @KernelHoward.
