KENTUCKY TO THE LIBERTY BOWL; VANDY TO THE MUSIC CITY BOWL
Things can certainly change, but Chip Cosby of The Lexington Herald-Leader is reporting that Kentucky will more than likely be headed to the Liberty Bowl... leaving Vanderbilt to head across town to play in the Music City Bowl.If two bowls both bid on the same team (and both the Liberty and Music City will bid on UK), then the school gets to make the choice. Rich Brooks said on his radio show Monday that his team would rather go to Memphis, after spending the last two holidays in Nashville.
The Liberty Bowl has never hosted Kentucky in the game's 50-year history.
Vanderbilt will be making their first bowl "trip" since 1982... so congratulations on that big reward following your long wait, Vandy fans.
The Music City Bowl will be played December 31st at 3:30pm EST.
The Liberty Bowl will be played January 2nd at 5pm EST.
It is absolutely impossible for the bowl system to suck anymore than it currently does. Impossible.
Oh, and for the record, John Clay of The Lexington Herald-Leader makes a great case for why UK should prefer Nashville... even though they've been there, done that.
