WVU up 29-22 on the road at Seton Hall.  Work that SOS.

[HeathWimp]

Hope we get a fast start like we did both times against 'Bama - this is not a team that plays catch-up very well.  This will be a tough game.

I don't believe Arkansas audio is available online.  But, you can listen to the Kentucky announces on Yahoo!.

Good SEC slate today.

Kentucky at Arkansas; Tennessee at Florida; Georgia at Vanderbilt; LSU at Miss State.  Then, Ole Miss at Auburn & SoCar at Alabama.
