This one concerns

Been fighting that feeling too. Just a weird matchup and team to play. Gotta trust Pope!

That’s Cal syndrome. It’ll go away eventually. Pope will have them ready. Gotta have faith.

“He will finish as”. I’m aware he isn’t currently. I know you said it’s a loser mentality. Man, I grew up with UK football and I’ve seen how it has been before Stoops. We didn’t always expect a bowl game and the conference is only getting more brutal. We are one coaching miss away from being stuck in the toilet again

We’re last place in the SEC currently. We’re already in the toilet.

We actually ran the ball pretty damn well. I do not know YOUR standards, but stacking the box, knowing we didn't have a QB who could beat you, we did really well.

Wilcox - 92 rushes / 590 yards (6.4 per) 2 TDs
Sumo-Karngbaye - 129 rushes / 586 yards (4.5 per) 5 TDs
Patterson - 20 rushes / 111 yards (5.6 per)
Trayanum - 19 rushes / 101 yards (5.3 per)

Total for RBs - 260 rushes / 1388 yards (5.34 per carry) Looks like they ran the ball pretty damn well to me. Once again, you are CLUELESS and NOTHING that backs your position. GTFO with all your BS. WRONG,,,,, AGAIN.

Not so fast my friend. YPC is one measure of the rushing game, but the fact is UK was 81st in the nation in rushing yards per game. So, it is below average nationally.

Using averages (means) is a bad way to assess. Because a single bad outlier can skew the results. Looking at the median NET team (the team in the middle) is better. Or maybe even better than that is the 25th percentile.

I think what separates the SEC this year is how legit good the bottom 4 (25%) teams in the league are. Those 4, IMO, could go compete for 3rd or 4th place in the ACC or Big East, and for middle of the pack in the B10 and B12 this year.

While I agree that outliers skew averages I'm not so sure using medians would be the correct way to go about it either.

Actually the calculation on Kenpom is neither. If I take the average for the SEC it comes out to 20.45.

This page states:
Ranking of conferences by NetRtg of team expected to go .500 in conference play.

So not taking averages. Not using the median either tho. That would be 18.85 Not sure how that's calculated but it seems like a logical way to do it.

So maybe I was incorrect in thinking that specific teams were weighing down some conferences.

If I wasn’t so mad, I’d laugh at the fools excited over JUCO transfers. We are an embarrassment.

BUMP BUMP BUMP!

100%. Committee in its first expanded playoff year went woke.

Can always tell the intelligence of a person when they use”woke”. What does that even mean in this context?

The only decent get in the portal so far.

NO it is not. The L=Lineman from Arkansas is a solid get. By the way, in the portal thread I said to watch for this guy about a week ago. Georgia came calling, I got a little nervous.

Dante Dowdell is a huge signing. RB out of Nebraska, ran for 12 TDs last year, played in the Big 20. ONLY a sophomore, really young, 19 I believe. 6-2 225 lbs.

Getting Chip back would have been my preference, assuming his attitude was right. But, this looks like a solid get. Our RB room has potential to be pretty good. If Wilcox can protect the ball, he could be a 1,000 yard rusher. Dowdell looks like a guy who can get those yards you need to get on 3rd and 4th down. I think Patterson would have been a tough runner, had he not been dinged.

Wilcox reason for not seeing more touches last year was apparently due to some lack of discipline issues off the field. Letting a lot of little careless things get him in trouble. I think he was used mostly out of necessity at some points when Patterson got hurt and he performed so Stoops couldn’t not use him. I think his staying is an indication he wants to get past that. He could be the feature back. Double his number of carries and he’s easily a 1000 yard rusher. Really sucks that Davis flipped to Mizzou though and Dowdle probably a decent pickup, but Hardy would have made our backfield something we haven’t seen since Snell/Williams.

He has bought the lies over and over again or, he is just as corrupt and agrees with the tactics used by some of these morons. I have been through a few government shutdowns as a civil servant and military and can tell you that the military plus air traffic controllers are essential personnel and continue to get paid. I don't care what some idiot is trying to tell the public. Plus, those people who are furloughed (term used during that time for non-essentials) have been paid after government makes a deal. They use these scare tactics to get people like shin to cry "somebody help us."

Exactly.

I don't care if Bama didnt' get in over these teams. Maybe they shouldn't have lost to Vandy or played like dog water against Oklahoma. They only knocked themselves out. If they went 10-2 they would've gotten in.

I don’t care out of fairness or anything per se but I do want these games to be worth of the playoff. I mean Alabama or ole Miss or SC might have lost but they darn sure would’ve had a chance to win it. IU did not. And I say that with respect for the coaching job they did this year and how they compete. They were maxed out but just don’t have enough bullets to challenge in a game like this…the best they can do is ‘keep the score respectable’

I don’t bet, but at UK -8.5, people who do should load up the truck. About the easiest money I’ve ever seen.

And that is EXACTLY when you lose the money and the truck. If it looks took to good to be true, usually it is.
