Where are my Bengals fans that had to go through two heartbreaking one point losses this weekend a week after getting embarrassed.

make your pick in the Stupid Underdog picks Contest - Week 1 and make your prediction in the Kentucky vs Southern Miss Prediction Contest. You have until kick off of the first contest to make or edit your SUP pick. After that, you need to leave your pick alone. You can make a different pick after that first game if you post that you want to change your pick as a comment after your new pick. Of course, you can't do that if your team already lost.

The prediction contest is open until kickoff. Don't mess with me on this and make me disqualify you because you made your prediction after the kick off.

If they are correct.

FBS schedules list possible game times for the rest of the season for each game.... https://fbschedules.com/2024-kentucky-football-schedule/

Ohio 12:45 SEC network

Mississippi 12:00 ABC or ESPN

Vanderbilt & Florida 3:30 or 8:00

Auburn & Tennessee 6:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m.

Murray State 1:30 SECN Plus

Texas & Louisville 3:30 or 8:00

A blast from the past. Was so happy to put them out of the tournament personally and watch knight hit the game winner, Jorts throw the ball off of Sullinger etc.

Just a sign of the mercenary nature of college sports these days. Kid transfers from UL to USCjr., goes through the spring and fall camps with the Cocks and then on the eve of the season transfers back to UL. Not a good image for academics.

Sounds about right

Kentucky: 4-8 (1-1, lost to South Carolina 31-6)​

The Kentucky team that looked smooth and capable offensively in Week 1 fell off the face of the Earth. Kentucky completed 6 passes while throwing for 44 yards against Carolina. It’s early and while this game theoretically could be a fluke, it looked pretty serious for Kentucky.

Predicting every SEC team’s final record after Week 2: Texas is up, Kentucky and Auburn are down

How did Week 2 impact our long-term outlook for each SEC team? In some cases, dramatically.

So let's get to talking about the season....it's the most wonderful time of the year!

Our opponents:
-Murray State/Mizzou, Thursday Night
-UGA/Clemson, Noon
-Va Tech/Vandy, Noon
-U6/Austin Peay, Noon
-Tennessee/Chattanooga, Noon
-Florida/Miami, 330
-Texas/Colorado State, 330
-USCjr./Old Dominion, 330
-Ohio/Syracuse, 330
-Ole Miss/Furman, primetime
-Auburn/Alabama A&M, primetime

Of note, Ole Miss & Auburn are the only 2 playing in the late window against us, so we should be able to watch all of our opponents. I put in bold the 4 games I feel like will be of the most interest to us. How does UGA look early, I mean we want to know if they look like world beaters early. Has Vandy figured it out in year 4 of Clark Lea...because if it looks like nothing has changed then he's going to be out the door. Florida and Miami both need this game, Florida losing will begin a possible tailspin as their coach could be gone or a dead man walking by the time we play them.

SC we play next. There's QB, RB, and WR questions. There's a Coach who has a warm seat. ODU actually plays P5 schools pretty well. This will be one to watch. After the Connor Stallions doc....many have now seen Beamer's late 2022 win streak was a fraud from stolen signs?

And then there's Ohio....they're playing a P5 opponent. Coming off back to back 10 win seasons...we always struggle to put down MAC teams. This is a really good program, but they're ranked #133 out of 134 teams in returning production. I really do want to see what they look like....because they're an entirely new team but great program with a great coach IMO. If they're bad, it could be another REALLY GOOD WEEK for us to play a lot of players and gain confidence.


OTHER GAMES OF NOTE:
-NDSU @ Colorado, Thursday night: America will be cheering for NDSU and against Prime

-Penn State @ WVU, noon: Neal Brown getting a big home win? Might make him jump up on some Cat fans wish list?

-WKU @ Alabama, primetime: No Saban, no problem?? Also for WKU, TJ Finley is their new QB...remember he was the Auburn QB when they took Bama to OT in the Iron Bowl a few years ago.

-Notre Dame @ Texas A&M, primetime: Marcus Freeman on the hot seat?? IS Mike Elko the right guy? Or will this game be one of those early season FAKE NEWS stories where the winner will be proclaimed as BACK and then both teams end up failing.

-USC/LSU, Sunday Night: A traditional Big Ten vs. SEC battle in Las Vegas. Lincoln Riley is facing heat....new conference. Brian Kelly now has a LSU program established with his fingerprints...Saban is gone....is it his year to rise up and cement his legacy?

-BC @ Florida State, Monday Night: A bigger than expected game. FSU's loss adds some pressure. Bill O'Brien getting started at BC. It might be worth tuning in?

I’m 61 years old. A UK fan since the day I was born. Love every sport where UK is involved but football has always been my passion. Have suffered through so many bad games and bad seasons. But this one tonight may be at the top of my list. Absolutely crushed and can’t believe what happened. I was certain we would beat them down. And after finally getting the strength to listen to Stoops postgame I don’t think he realizes just has bad this was. Maybe he checked out when TAM dropped him. I don’t know. Just know that tonight is the night when I feel like it will never happen in my lifetime.

Where do we go from here?

Enjoy!
