It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad evening at Kroger Field. Kentucky took its sixth consecutive SEC home loss \u2014 third straight this season \u2014 with the Wildcats now just 2-10 in their last 12 conference games in Lexington. For those keeping track at home, Joker Phillips was 4-8 in his 12 SEC home games as head coach, according to UK statistician Corey Price<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vanderbilt <\/a>defeated Kentucky at its own game, controlling the line of scrimmage and the clock en route to the rock fight victory, 20-13 final. The Wildcats were undisciplined with 106 penalty yards on 12 flags after entering the matchup as the least penalized team in the SEC. Now 5-10 coming off byes under Mark Stoops, it\u2019s fair to question what exactly the team does in the two weeks between games?<\/p>\n

There were no positive takeaways from the loss and the entire program should be ashamed of itself for how things unfolded Saturday evening. And they should be equally ashamed the Commodores felt comfortable stomping on the logo at midfield after the game.<\/p>\n

According to Michael Epps of FOX 56, the opposing team came back out on the field to stand and sit on the UK logo to take photos \u2014 probably for cute \u2018walk in\u00a0your trap and take over your trap\u2019 social media captions, just like we saw the Wildcats do leaving Oxford with a win a couple weeks back. Stoops\u2019 teams are known for handling prosperity well, after all. <\/p>\n

Vanderbilt players have come back out on the field, standing and sitting on the \u201cUK\u201d logo taking pictures.<\/p>\n

Anyway, after taking their road victory pictures, one Vanderbilt player \u2014 No. 11 Darren Agu, it appears \u2014 was seen stomping on and kicking the logo with another representative of the football program doing the same.<\/p>\n

Here’s the clip of the Vanderbilt player kicking the UK logo after the game, just for confirmation. Another guy joined in. #BBN<\/a> @FOX56News<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/g8g1iIaF1x<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/I1EthQaTnN<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea talked about his team\u2019s ability to balance celebrating and having fun with looking ahead to the next prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt says that the team is hungry for more and we are not going to let one game define our season,\u201d he said. \u201cI think sometimes external narratives try to paint that picture and it has never been our reality. We know how to celebrate and we know that last week was an important marker for us, we do get that, but it is always about what comes next. There are things we can clean up tonight. <\/p>\n

\u201cHow we can find our highest level as a team and really have some fun. This team is focused and I think we are having a lot of fun right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

To their credit, they knocked off No. 1 Alabama and then followed it up by defeating Kentucky for a second consecutive time on its home field. They earned every right to celebrate.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like it, beat \u2019em. <\/p>\n
