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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
