5 Ways You Know You're A UK Football Fan
Big Blue Insider

1. You expect the worst but still hope for the best

With the exception of a few good seasons, it's hard being a UK football fan. Sometimes it is like watching a team invent new ways to lose a ball game. For example, year ago UK had LSU beat late in the game, the players dumped Gatorade on the coach, fans began to rush the field and they lost on a deep pass. More recently, getting up big on Southern Miss and Louisville and watching the team blow it in the 2nd Half. But every game you still hope for games like beating a top 10 UL team in 2007 and winning against the number 1 LSU team in 2007 as well.

2. Looking at the schedule every season and deciding how UK will make a bowl game

Every season UK fans will pick which 6 (or more) games are winnable. With the SEC schedule being difficult, you know that they are going to lose some games, like games at Alabama. It has been 5 or 6 years since they have made a bowl game.

3. Hating the UK fans that only watch the basketball team

UK fans who only support UK basketball are the worst. They tend to root for Alabama, Ohio State or whichever is doing better. They only watch UK football when they play Louisville or when they are winning. They usually start wearing UK gear around Big Blue Madness.

4. Saying things you do not mean

During a game, it can get pretty heated. Saying things during/after games like "i'll never watch another UK football game!!", "Stoops should not have a job!!" or "what do they even coach these guys?!" Yes I've said all of those.....during/after the same game. Watching them play sometimes will leave you screaming at your TV screen or at Coach Stoops and the players on the sidelines.

5. Being superstitious

Doing the same routine because they won before when you did so. Sitting in the same spot in front of the TV, wearing that t-shirt, hoodie or jersey or whatever else you think will help them pull out a victory.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
