Kentucky AD condemns 'insensitive and offensive' sign ahead of Florida game
Sometimes, trash talking goes a bit too far, and this is a great example.
Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart took to Twitter Thursday to denounce a fan’s offensive sign ahead of the Florida game.
The sign, captured from a Snapchat story, hit Twitter Wednesday that read, “If hurricane Irma didn’t f*** you up, cats will.”
It’s still unclear who made the sign.

Barnhart called the sign “insensitive and offensive,” as he condemned it on social media.
An insensitive and offensive sign has been making the rounds online this week. I want to be clear: That's not us.

Kentucky DB Kendall Randolph, a Florida native, also took to Twitter about the sign.

The Gators and Wildcats kickoff Saturday at 7:30 pm ET on the SEC Network.
Nope, not funny at all and in very poor taste. Person that made that sign is an idiot and doesn’t represent the university or our fan base. Go Cats.
All schools have their share of idiots.
