🔵 The Official Daily Newsletter For Kentucky Athletics

Good morning. It’s only the seventh day of September, and the fall vibe of football, leaves changing colors, and pumpkin spice on the menu is already here, even though it’s still technically summer. But hey, no complaints here.

What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?

🏈 Hungry offense
🏊 Schedule drop
🔵 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Feed the Beasts. The first plate of food is finished, and now we go in for round two. Kentucky offense is hungry for more action this weekend against Eastern Kentucky. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen says the team has been consistent with details and execution this week at practice, and there was more urgency with communication and details.

Coen liked how physical his guys were on the field against Ball State, but there needs to be improvements in having them all on the same page, and that means more communication for when they take on the Colonels.

🏈 Read more of what Coen had to say here.

🔼 Dive In. The swim and dive team is ready for its first season with new head coach Bret Lundgaard, and meets begin Sept. 22. There are three home meets inside Lancaster Aquatic Center on Oct. 13, Jan. 12-13, and Feb. 2. You can find the times for each meeting at the link below.

🗓️ Here is the full schedule with times, dates and locations.
