Max Beerbohm made the sports page in Louisville, Kentucky:
Maybe you've heard of an old Max Beerbohm story called "The Happy Hypocrite" about a less-than-appealing Southeastern Conference cellar dweller of a man who falls in love with a pious woman and wears the mask of a saint to get her to love him. After they're married, he's confronted to remove the mask, but when he does, his own face has changed to that of a saint.
The Wildcats aren't likely to be sporting the real face of an SEC contender when they roll into the Swamp to face No. 5-ranked Florida tomorrow night. But they are sporting something they haven't had since gas was 95 cents a gallon -- a 1-0 record in SEC play, thanks to a win over Mississippi last Saturday.

It's awesome to see the Incomparable Max getting some props, but that has to be one of the most awkward and bizarre references I've ever seen.
