Chip Cosby of the Lexington Herald-Leader is reporting that a return trip to the Music City Bowl is looking more and more like a possibility.
Music City Bowl executive director Scott Ramsey was quoted in Cosby’s story as saying that he is “definitely interested” in bringing UK back to Nashville, Tenn., for the third time in four seasons.
“It’s hard to deny the success we’ve had with Kentucky,” Ramsey said, according to Cosby’s story. “We’ve developed great relationships with the fan base, the administration and the coaching staff.”
Ramsey goes on to tell Cosby that another trip to the Music City would be appealing because of the date (Sunday, Dec. 27), short drive to Nashville, potential matchups with Miami or North Carolina, and the primetime kickoff (8:30 p.m. on ESPN).
“Hopefully a nationally known program like Miami or North Carolina would bring some excitement,” Ramsey said in the report. “We feel like that’s a pretty good fit that would get the fans interested. And with it being unopposed in prime time, that would be a great platform.”
