Up Where We Belong

So the Cats have jumped to #1 (with a bullet!?) in the latest polls.

This comes on the heels of a loss.... by the Heels.... to UNLV.

I'm in the camp that says UK definitely has top-rated talent on its roster this season. And we may in fact be the best team in the country, sitting here in late November. It's arguable since Kentucky is young.

As far as where we truly should rank at this early stage, yeah, somewhere in the top 5 seems about right, with the other usual suspects in the mix. I'd rather not get too carried away about it, and of course the team needs to work on its weaknesses and obviously gain some more experience.

Despite the loss, UNC should be up there, Ohio State for sure, and Syracuse yes.....Duke looks decent.

But historically the Cats belong towards the top, and as the program moves forward, we should always be in that region of the polls. Kentucky needs to be situated in that lofty basketball perch just like the sky itself needs to be BLUE.

So cue up that Joe Cocker duet, "Mayo-nnaise". And get out the big foam finger. UK probably won't be spotless this year, but the nation recognizes that this team does have a legit shot at a title, and they have deemed us "top of the pops" before the calendar has hit December.
