[More Cowbell]

I don't think he threw the game, but I don't think he was treating it like the national championship game either. Like another poster said, I think he was just sitting back and watching how each member of his team played, so he knows who he can count on later in the year.

This is the earliest in the season that UK has ever started, and Gillespie has simply not had enough practice time with these guys. The game may count as an L on the Cats' record, but I feel Gillespie really looked at this game similar to an exibition, as a time for a new coach to figure his team out. He wanted to win, but other than the embarrassment factor this was not a season-killing loss.
