LEXINGTON - The last visual image many University of Kentucky football fans have of the Wildcats isn't a pleasant one.
The team surrendered touchdowns on seven consecutive first-half possessions to Florida in its last home game. They fell behind 49-7 and prompted a mass exodus of fans from Commonwealth Stadium, which was barely half-full as the Wildcats rallied to make the final score (49-28) seem more respectable.
Since then, the Wildcats have had two non-televised road games (losses to South Carolina and Mississippi) interspersed with two bye weeks, and the start of basketball practice has served as a distraction from Kentucky's football misfortunes in this hoops-crazed state. So how many fans will return to Commonwealth on Saturday, when Kentucky (1-5, 0-3 Southeastern Conference) will host fellow SEC bottom-feeder Mississippi State (2-5, 0-4)?
Perhaps more importantly, what kind of reception will the Wildcats receive?

I hope they will be well received as well, they need some love.
