7–1. Five straight SEC wins. And now Knoxville. After 50 years of Rocky Top misery, Will Stein has given BBN something downright dangerous: HOPE. Can we finally believe? Or are we too conditioned to know better? My latest column. Poor Smokey. 🏈 themanchesterenterprise.com/…?

The Huang and Short of It: Six straight lost sets. Texas A&M exposed Kentucky's shaky first contact and inability to convert chances. Skinner says urgency starts in practice. Turns out championship talent means little if opponents keep doing the championship-level stuff better.

Kentucky loses in 3 sets to Texas A&M in rematch of last year’s NCAA Tournament championship match. 25-20, 25-23, 25-21. The contract curse is real. Time to regroup.

Ruh-roh. Kentucky down two sets to none versus defending national champion Texas A&M. Cats have lost their last 5 sets. Let’s see what you got.

The Huang and Short of It KENTUCKY 34, VANDERBILT 17. 7-1! 5 straight SEC wins. Is this legal? Slow start? No panic. 6 straight scoring drives. Even Vandy's coach admitted UK adjusted faster. BBN sings Tyler Childers. Stein wants Metallica. Me? I'm hearing the Twilight Zone

That was an obvious missed PI call. Will Stein certainly let the ref know his displeasure, but didn’t let his anger carry over. Play the next play.

Big Day! Wear that retainer.
This is how Kenny Darby celebrated getting his braces off.

How good is Curtis? The best QB Cats have faced this year? Vanderbilt pulls within 21-17. Sheesh!

Kentucky trails Vanderbilt 3-0 after one quarter. Fourteen yards, 6 plays, zero first downs isn’t gonna do it tonight. Need to channel these 1976 Wildcats.

We will fight, fight for the blue and gray. I actually like Kentucky’s uniform color scheme, but you can’t distinguish any of the numbers from the press box. Need a good optometrist.

Big Blue Nation out in force for Vanderbilt. Amazing what this season’s success has done for the collective psyche. I'm feeling pretty good about this one, which, after 50 years of following Kentucky football, is usually the first sign of impending disaster. Go Cats!

The Huang and Short of It: UK beats Texas Tech. Wilkins embraces defense, Moreno makes life miserable inside, and freshman Mason Williams plays like a veteran. Even Tech's coach praised UK's length. It's only October, but BBN finally has more reasons to cheer than complain.

From my perch in the rafters. Unpopular opinion: I like Mark Pope. I like Kentucky basketball. And I'm actually looking forward to the season. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time.

A lot needs to come together, but I can see it. There’s enough here.

Welp, not many of us left defending this hill. Everybody's excited about what a 24-team College Football Playoff might add. I'm more worried about what it'll take away. And once it's gone, good luck getting it back. huangswhinings.com/2026/10/2…
