Let me preface by saying Stoops will not be fired. He should not be fired. I know emotions run high and when people get upset they want heads to roll. But that’s nowhere even close to being reality baring a scandal. So put that away.

But I think stoops wasted a lot of talent this year and it’s really concerning. We parlayed Levis and Crod into Leary and Davis. That was a fantastic haul actually. But then we proceeded to squander both takents. This will make them both harder to replace. I have no idea why the tempo is so slow. You can’t blame it on stoops being stoops because this is slow even for him.

The cats will have to rely on the portal heavily and this program will not be as sexy of a sell as it has been lately. So I’m worried now about next season.

A lot of our anger tonight was soooo preventable. Up 14-0 on Missouri but didn’t have the fortitude and focus to continue to compete. Needed the Tenn in the worst way but didn’t have the guts to win that game either. Georgia and bama games were a Time Machine to the early stoops years. Then we let a bad team just flat beat us with less talent because our kids had no poise or discipline.

I want transparency when this shit is over. I want to know what the hell happened.

Could be available, Would he come to SEC? To Kentucky? Just throwing an idea out here, nothing to base this on other than would be interesting

He Hasn’t changed. He isn’t going to change. He isn’t a good coach, nor after 11 years will he get any better. He used his Family’s Name to get the job. Struggled early until he caught Lightning in a bottle with Benny Snell, Chris Rodriguez, Lynn Bowden, and Josh Allen. Caught UL during a down time to get Kentucky’s best HS players.

Even with that he really hasn’t beat anyone. Beat Florida and South Carolina when both programs were down. Beat UL when their program was down. Beat MAC teams because you are supposed to. Not really close to Georgia or Tennessee or Missouri at the present. Have lost a home game to Vandy. And back to back games to South Carolina.

In all of this it isn’t the losses as much as HOW WE LOSE each game. Making Heisman Trophy Candidates of opposition QBs. Poor tackling. Poor Clock Management. Bonehead Penalties. Receivers dropping wide open passes. Calling a 30 yard pass when you need 5 yards. Playing for Field Goals instead of TDs. Playing very Undisciplined . And the list goes on and on.


Folks it isn’t going to get any better under Mark Stoops. Nothing is going to change. Stoops will continue to be Stoops.

Way to go Oscar... He did his best for UK.....

We better beat Beamer’s bitch ass tonight.

Recruiting just took a major hit after this season’s collapse. Holding the most important players who just committed and even current players just hit the panic button. And although a small percentage of the players we want, Brohm will smoke UK instate recruiting. Next season could get ugly, maybe even Joker ugly.

Do we have boosters that have deep enough pockets to “Pony Up” and buy out Stoops right now?

Weird there's never any mention of a 5year starter never playing and listed as OR On the depth chart

Not one of Cals draft day favorites but no one else is close to his court savvy and awareness.

Last week bama had 3rd and 17 and we played a soft zone giving Milroe as much time as he needed to find an open receiver for the easy first down. This week on S. Carolina’s winning drive having them at 3rd and 15 we did the exact same thing. Anyone who knows KY football knew that was ballgame then and there. Sorry folks but stoops is too big of a moron to progress our program further. We are headed back to where S Carolina is now and hoping to win the last game(s) of the season for bowl eligibility. We have seen the best we are going to see under stoops, it’s all down hill from here I’m afraid.

Over 50 players from last year’s Colorado roster have hit the portal. Most have been told they were being cut.

Prime seems to be confident that he has a whole slew of new guys coming in. But replacing 50 seems like a huge number.

Thoughts on how this is going to turn out for the Buffs?

Xavier at Washington tonight at midnight on ESPN2, if you want to see Brooks and Wheeler in action and curious about what they are playing like. Clearly, I realize and understand they are not missed on our team, of course.

Here is the game from tonight in case you missed it or didn't get to see the game. I'll have it in 2 formats a stream and download links.

Stream one will be up first and I'll have a download link to follow in case you need a copy for your own collection.

I’m headed down from Michigan that day for it.

Annoyed that I don’t know the game time yet.

Thanks.

Let me be clear, moral victories do not exist in Lexington with regards to the Men’s Basketball program. It was not a victory in any way, but I can’t help but come away from watching that extremely excited and optimistic.

That game last night was a lot of fun. No bigs, nothing from your two top 10 draft picks, your veteran shooter misses some good looks down the stretch, and yet the game just slips away at the end after some key mistakes from freshmen.

This team is full of dudes that will only get better from here, and I doubt we get this type of performance from DJ and Justin the rest of the season.

This loss and team just feel different, and I’m pumped to see them blossom into an elite team. For the first time in several years, It’s a matter of when, not if.

When Bradshaw starts playing, give me our roster over any other roster in the country.

I’m going to guess 6.5 and I will sadly have to hammer the Cards.

Been a rough year everyone. We are on the downslide

How many completions has our secondary allowed this year where a DB isn’t within 10 yards of the WR??? Far too many times guys are running loose in the secondary. After one drive tonight it looks like A Phillips isn’t interested in playing. That’s a position that has to have a change in the staff.

This isn’t a hot take after that first drive, just a string of obvious issues all year.

All beer sales proceeds should go into a fund to buyout our horrible coaches for both basketball and football. Had Brainfart allowed alcohol last year then we’d have that money for Stoops buyout by now.

It’s time

The problem with these coaches is there is no motivation. Win or lose, head coaches go home with $5-$10m a year. Even the coordinators are being paid 7 figures. If they get fired, buyouts are so crazy, they are set for life (jimbo fisher). Wonder how it would be if coaches were paid based on results/wins.

For all the hand ringing of the defense, the offense has let us down time and time again this year. The fact that we just refuse to use Ray Davis multiple ways blows my mind.

I’ll guess:

White helmet w/ blue facemask & decals
White jersey
Blue pants
