Here's an article I thought Era Veteran and any other UK fans might enjoy.
Why The Kentucky Wildcats Will Win the national Championship

As Lewis F. Powell once opined about pornography, when you know, you know. And when it comes to Kentucky winning the national championship this season, I know. The last time I was this certain of the Wildcats' fate was in the fall of 1995. Going into that season with Antoine Walker, Tony Delk, Ron Mercer, and a pre-Porcini's Rick Pitino, I was sure UK was ready to fulfill its destiny and give me the first UK title of my lifetime. That 1996 Kentucky team had nine future NBA pros on its roster, and its demolition of opponents throughout the season was magical to watch. The Wildcats lost twice that season — once to UMass and once to Mississippi State, both of which were loaded enough to eventually make it to the Final Four. It was an exhilarating ride for a Blue-obsessed teenager, made even more special by the knowledge from the beginning of the inevitability of our final destination.

1. This could be a juggernaut
Coach Cal can sure recruit.
" Kentucky welcomes its best recruiting class in school history. Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, and Kyle Wiltjer are all McDonald's All Americans. Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, and Teague were each ranked among the top five players in the country. "
Lots of great players and teams ahead of these guys, many things can happen. The '78 team was the biggest lock I have seen since the Wizard had the Pauley Pavilion Invitational every year.

Will be a relief from football.
