Gaps & What Others Often Miss  I Covered Them Here

When I examined other sites, I noticed these common gaps or weaknesses:

  1. Lack of context (just dates and teams)
      I added venue info, how home vs away impacts things, and relation to SEC and postseason.
  2. Missing updates / changes over time
     Schedules often change (cancellations, time changes). I’ll plan to keep this updated with the latest.
  3. No insight about rivalry games or big matches
      I call out Louisville (in-state rivalry) and SEC matchups.
  4. No link to postseason structure
      I included the NCAA tournament dates and structure.
  5. No guidance on watching / tickets
      We can add that (TV info, ticket tips) below.

Tips for Fans: Planning Around the Schedule

Here are things I’ve learned (or seen others miss) that can make your fan experience smoother:

  • Buy early for big matches – rivalry games or SEC matchups often sell out or get better seats fast.
  • Watch for schedule changes – as the season progresses, some matches may get shifted (for TV, weather, or logistics).
  • Check streaming / TV listings – some matches will be on SEC Network, ESPN+, or other platforms.
  • Travel smart – when UK plays back-to-back away matches, you might combine trips to nearby cities.
  • Look at rest days – when there is a long break between games, players can reset; tight clusters may cause fatigue.
