Yeah, Florida's
won its last 27 meetings against your University of Kentucky Wildcats. But you won't find that in any huddle or any locker room this week as the 28th game of the streak approaches. Both teams are ignoring that glowing stat, choosing to focus on the now instead.
-- Will Muschamp told reporters, "It's the 2014 Florida team versus the 2014 Kentucky team." He won't talk about the streak.
-- Mark Stoops said it's okay if any of his players use the 27 consecutive losses as motivation, but he won't bring it up to his team.
-- Florida defensive lineman Dante Fowler told reporters his team respects all, but fears none. He isn't falling into talk about a potential 28th win in a row.
UK fans, on the other hand, are tired of being the Gators' punching bag and Big Blue Nation is ready to put a W on the board. The coaches and players can ignore it, but most of us sat through all 27 of those losses. We wish we could ignore it.
Beat Florida.
