The Kentucky football team won't officially find out its bowl destination until next Sunday, but the picture is a lot clearer after a 28-10 loss to Tennessee in the regular-season finale. UK (6-6 overall, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) still held out hope for a Chick-fil-A Bowl bid before Saturday, but that probably went out the window in Knoxville.

Western Kentucky found a way to stop Samardo Samuels and No. 3 Louisville. Double-teaming Louisville's freshman big man at every turn, the Hilltoppers stunned the Cardinals 68-54 on Sunday for their first victory over a top-three opponent in more than 40 years.

What is the visionary literary work in which George Orwell predicts that big brother (Tennessee) would dominate little brother (Kentucky) for 24 years?

When the 2008 Kentucky football season began, my view of what constituted success for Rich Brooks & Co. was simple. If UK reached six wins to become bowl eligible for a third straight year for the first time since the 1950s, the season would be a complete success.
