People who claim that fall isn't one of their favorite seasons obviously haven't experienced fall at the University of Kentucky. Whether it's rooting for the cats in Kroger Stadium (will always be Commonwealth to us) with a hot chocolate in your hand, placing bets at Keeneland or simply walking to the library looking at all the leaves lining the paths leading to Willy T's big red columns – there's nothing better than fall in Lexington, KY.

6. You are that much closer to many breaks from school
Thanksgiving break and Winter break are just around the corner.
7. Caturdays
This sacred day needs no explanation, but there is truly nothing better than cheering on the cats in the fall. Whether it be a home or away game, let the celebrations begin. Where the cheering from our fans is as strong as our bourbon.
8. Football in general
Football season in itself is something to be cherished. I may not understand half of the calls but I understand that there's buffalo chicken dip and wings so we're all
9. Keeneland
You can't consider yourself a true University of Kentucky student until you've gone to a Friday or Saturday of the Keeneland fall meet. You don't even need to see a horse to be part of the experience.
