KSR Roadtrip: Is Sanford Stadium just Athens Rupp Arena?

maxresdefault-4 — KSR travels to Athens for another sad SEC roadtrip

KSR hit the road to Athens, Georgia, to watch Kentucky take on the Bulldogs — and, well, it wasn’t pretty. Between the hedges, the Dawgs reminded the Cats what life in the SEC really feels like.

From tailgates and pregame hope to the cold reality of the scoreboard, this KSR Roadtrip shows it all: the fans, the noise, the heartbreak, and the laughs that get us through it. This is what it’s like to love Kentucky football — the highs, the lows, and the long drives home.

Maybe the biggest realization of them all? Sanford Stadium, known for being one of the most hostile and rowdy environments in the SEC with fans literally barking at you, it’s no different than Rupp Arena on sleepy gamedays. The big-time games can turn into appointment viewings and experiences you talk about for a lifetime, but when the competition sucks and the kickoff/TV slots are weak, they can feel pretty average. That was Steven Peake’s takeaway leaving Athens and driving home down in the dumps, once again.

See it all for yourself in the newest episode of KSR Roadtrip:

(Please watch this video to make these trips worthwhile. We’re begging. If the team is gonna stink, at least we can mourn together one click at a time. Thank you. Go Cats.)
