Ten years later the Foot Stabber has left Lexington with more questions than answers. Why are you the way that you are? Where in the world have you been? What is a Tennessee fan doing on Kentucky’s campus? William T. Young Library will not be a safe place to study until justice is served. (You’re welcome for the excuse, fellow folks who need a victory lap or two.)
