In most college towns, any day on which the home team staples down a conference championship, clinching an undefeated home season in the process, is a pretty good day. At the very least, it should yield some sort of celebration. Not in Lexington. In Lexington, who has time to celebrate a hard-earned Southeastern Conference title? The Cats have won 43 before this game. In Lexington, why waste time wrapping your head around a season in which UK won every game at Rupp Arena? Since the building opened in 1976, the Cats have posted an undefeated home season about once every four years. What matters comes in a few weeks.
