All signs are pointing to playing Pitt in Birmingham. Pitt has already accpeted the bid...

Pitt went 7-5 & 5-2 in Big East play. No quality wins but no bad losses either.

UK may have a small chance at beating a Big East team. But this UK team has not impressed me yet.

Make no mistake, the Big East is a BAD football conference. But I'm with you...Kentucky has not done much to impress me this season. I think UK would be a slight favorite, but I think it'd be a solid matchup.

FWIW, UCONN won the Big East by going 5-2 in conference play. Both WVU & Pitt had the same conference record...

Kentucky will face Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham on January 8th.

Jan 8. Give me a break. At least the Cats will get an extra couple of weeks of practice out of it.

All bowl teams get the same 15 practice limit...

This should be a good match up. Pitt is physical run it down your throat style.

Nevermind. So they just get a nice long wait between now and then....

Another who cares bowl. At least Pitt had 7 wins, the Big East was awful this season and UK was imo far from good. I will, of course be pulling for UK bc I am a UK fan but is jmo that UK doesn't deserve a bowl game. I have been saying since 6 win teams became eligible that it was a joke and I still feel that way, any 6 win team.

So, once again there is my now :deadhorse: comment. :lol:

The good news is Joker shouldn't get outcoached in this one.

If he does he should quit now...

Is this one of those bowls I'm supposed to be excited about as a UK fan?

Disapoionting season for UK but five straight bowls is nothing to sneeze at.
