I’ll say this, we’ve now gone 3 years in a row with poor play at the safety postion. It’s gotten progressively worse and this year was abysmal. Out of positon. Bad angles. Lack of eye discipline. Just a complete reversal of what we saw earlier in the Stoops era.

As for corner, Hairston was really good when healthy, but they didn’t have a single guy emerge that was capable of being a true #2 corner in the SEC. JQ Hardaway ain’t it. Jantzen Dunn ain’t it. DJ Waller still at da club. T. Nichols had his moments. This spot looks problematic once again next Fall with Hairston headed to the draft.

Nobody in action Sunday.

Man these last 6-8 weeks have been about as painful as it gets for a sports fan.

Each day we wake up to coaches trying to bolt(accept the ones we need to). UL beat us senseless and we literally have YEARS before we would even entertain buying him out.

This is about as low as I have been when it comes to UK football since the 90’s.

The offensive line is priority 1, 2, and 3 for the program going into the offseason.

Previously, I had said that UK would likely be taking a much harder look at some Group of Five offensive linemen. I believe they will definitely look at that route, but I am also hearing they are very serious about some power conference linemen who are out there.

The word that I've gotten is that Kentucky has evaluated games for every single program in the country over the past month or so and they have a very good idea of who they are going to target, should they go into the portal. I hope to have more on that in time.

People will have their own opinions on this, but I do believe that the offensive line was the source of a lot of the worst struggles this year. Some of the sacks were on the quarterback, some were on the tight ends, some were on running backs, some on receivers at times, but no question the line has to get a lot better and it has to get a lot better right away.

I am hearing that following the decommitment of Tucker Kattus the Wildcats are not going to pursue another high school lineman in the 2025 class. I think Kattus can be a solid player at the college level but he was not one of the more hotly recruited prospects in UK's class.

Have been in touch with UK's other commitments up front and they seem to be solid.

I am now expecting Kentucky to sign one more portal lineman than I originally anticipated.

My honest opinion is the line performed exactly as you probably should have expected going into the season. Marques Cox didn't have a good year after a solid season last year. Eli Cox was solid. Jalen Farmer did some good things. But beyond there, there simply has not been close to enough SEC caliber talent among the top eight OL on the roster. I don't see how anybody could disagree with that. The problem is the talent. It has not been an SEC room talent-wise, and there is legitimate blame to go around for that. They got nothing from Courtland Ford or Gerald Mincey.

My belief is Kentucky is going to allocate a whole lot more resources towards fixing the offensive line as everyone I have spoken with believes they have to "know what they're getting" more and the only way to do that nowadays is to outrecruit and outbid other schools for proven or obviously talented offensive linemen. I think the bar for what you hope for should be pretty high re: offensive line in the portal because they have to get it right this year and it won't be easy.

So this might have just been the usual attempt to "rally the troops" drama.

hehe. I hate the Big East.

75% off the cost of a new annual subscription today only:

Total rebuild is what’s called for! We’ve been embarrassed over and over and over and I pray that everyone is finally as sick of this shit as I am??!! Go get Sumrall and let the young man cook! THIS HAS TO STOP NOW!

On this week's SEC Shorts. We're not even worth the jokes now.

I am just gonna wallow in my depression until I get to watch UT knocked out of the playoffs.

We have a snow game awesome to watch and we could a few snow playoff college games too.

Purdue just fired their coach. Perfect fit. Close to Ohio. Would welcome his slogging Big Ten style. Big Ten money. I think it needs to happen.

Sumrall only makes one million at Tulane . You get a set off if stoops coaches elsewhere . Paying him Nine million a year was AD malpractice but we are stuck with it.
He can find a job where he makes the going rate of a mediocre coach of five million. Offer Sumrall 4 million . If he pans out he knows th sky is the limit. Yes we have to pay Stoops four million a year until his contract expires . We even save a million by paying eight million until stoops contract expires instead of nine .

It also has the advantages of not having a joker like erosion of twenty thousand paying customers . So Stoops cmtract is not hopeless . Just takes some creativity.

Point blank period. aTm fans killed our program by not accepting this bum last year. After that, everyone knew he was done. I'd be getting a hot dog, too if I had this guy coaching me.

This was the first part of the post game show.

Bungle

You have to kick to tie there and send game to OT.

Im so glad my Mom bought me that Vikings Jacket at 9 yrs old.

SKOL Valley/Minnesota Vikings

Have under good authority that Sumrall will be taking the UNC job but not announcing until at least after this weekend.

Here’s the big one… A very good chance that Vince is leaving here and going to… Louisville
