That man in the photo above is one Bill Ransdell, the last quarterback at Kentucky to pick up a win over the Florida Gators. The year was 1986 and the Cats picked up a win at home by a score of 10-3. Here is a list of all the games that have followed: 1986 Kentucky 10 - Florida 3 1987 Florida 27 - Kentucky 14 1988 Florida 24 - Kentucky 19 1989 Florida 38 - Kentucky 28 1990 Florida 47 - Kentucky 15 1991 Florida 35 - Kentucky 26 1992 Florida 35 - Kentucky 19 1993 Florida 24 - Kentucky 20 1994 Florida 73 - Kentucky 7 1995 Florida 42 - Kentucky 7 1996 Florida 65 - Kentucky 0 1997 Florida 55 - Kentucky 28 1998 Florida 51 - Kentucky 35 1999 Florida 38 - Kentucky 10 2000 Florida 59 - Kentucky 31 2001 Florida 44 - Kentucky 10 2002 Florida 41 - Kentucky 34 2003 Florida 24 - Kentucky 21 2004 Florida 20 - Kentucky 3 2005 Florida 49 - Kentucky 28 2006 Florida 26 - Kentucky 7 2007 Florida 45 - Kentucky 37 2008 Florida 63 - Kentucky 5 2009 Florida 41 - Kentucky 7 2010 Florida 48 - Kentucky 14 2011 Florida 48 - Kentucky 10   Ouch. Twenty-five years of losses. Joker Phillips has made the choice to ignore the past on this one. “It’s been our theory, you know. Why bring those things up?” Phillips said. “You hear it enough outside of here. Therefore, we don’t bring them up. We just try to continue to prepare the best way we can to play as good as we can.” If it worked last year against Tennessee maybe it will have some sort of effect against the Gators later today. But those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. The folks over at Saturday Down South have the game going to the Gators with ease. -Saturday Down South Jon: Thanks to Jared Lorenzen, Florida will pile on the points. They’ve scored an average of 49 against the Wildcats the last five times. Florida 48, Kentucky 17 Kevin: Florida rolls here and wins easy. Florida 43, Kentucky 13 What are your predictions for the score of today's game?
