Week 2 begins on Kentucky Football‘s calendar, with Ole Miss coming to town for the opening SEC game on Saturday. Today, the Wildcats start preparations for the Rebels at the Joe Craft Football Training Center, plus we’ll hear comments from Mark Stoops to kick off Ole Miss Week.
Many operations close for Labor Day, but KentuckySportsRadio.com eats, sleeps, breathes, and blogs football, so there are no days off around here. (Happy Labor Day, though.) Find a rundown of the day’s activities below as we get ready for the next game on Kentucky’s schedule.

Kentucky-Toledo Link Dump
Before we close the book on the Kentucky-Toledo game, make sure you’re caught up on KSR’s top football stories from the weekend.
SEC Nation passed on Lexington for Week 2
Kentucky and Ole Miss will play the only SEC-on-SEC game in Week 2, so it was presumed that SEC Nation would broadcast from Lexington for the first league game of the season. Those presumptions were wrong. Yesterday, the network announced that it will take its Saturday morning pregame show to Columbia, Missouri, for Missouri versus Kansas in the Border War.
One more Week 1 game
Tonight, the final game on college football’s Week 1 schedule will play out on ESPN, featuring the hottest couple in sports. Bill and Jordon’s North Carolina Tar Heels host TCU at 8 p.m. in the collegiate version of Monday Night Football.
AP Top 25 delayed this week
Because of tonight’s game, the AP Top 25 poll, which traditionally updates on Sundays, will be released tomorrow instead. Kentucky won’t be ranked, so don’t get your hopes up.
