If you replace the name UK with Auburn then most people are ok with it.

UF is a sore spot because it is Mullen. 1) UF was at least as talented but probably more talented top to bottom. 2) Mullen knew Fitz's strengths and weaknesses better than Joe.
Even then if Mitchell catches that TD pass to take the lead, we have a great shot at winning that game.

Iowa - I will give you that one. Guidry turns a winning TD into a losing Int. Abram gets caught looking in the backfield for the first time all year. Those 2 plays lost that game. Sometimes the ball bounces your way and sometimes it doesn't.
In my opinion football is the only game that you make your own breaks. People talk about baseball being a cruel game, I can see that game having a lot to do with luck. But football is not that. In my experience you get out of it exactly what you put into it. LSU is the luckiest team I have ever seen play a football game but at some point if you keep getting lucky you are probably just good
