Bama had the clear #1 D in the conference until we played them... Does that not compute? Do you honestly think yalls D is head and shoulders better than theirs? The delusion from this fanbase never ceases to amaze
While I don't think we have a chance because of our weaknesses, Bama hadn't really played anybody until UT. Georgia has the best D. Probably the best in CFB
 
And absent the beat down of Miss State, has looked very mortal.

A 4 point win over A & M?

Wow!
But that was without Bryce Young. You can't argue Will Levis being out caused UK to lose to SC without acknowledging Young's absence affecting Bama's offense, especially considering the #2 QB was responsible for 3 of Bama's 4 TOs.

That's a much better example.

Should have gone straight to that one. 😁
Hey, I’ll give you the Bama win as significant, and the best win either UT or UK has going into this Saturday.

But having watched a good bit of Bama’s season, this is just not a dominant team. (And Georgia has taken a step back, too).

Yeah, I don't think that is a dominant Bama team. UT won the LOS for the most part the entire game. But UT this season is much better than last with their quality depth on both lines, and has stayed relatively healthy on both lines, and has some quality depth.

I think UGA is loaded with talent. They are just young and inexperienced in some positions and learning. And after blowing out Oregon, they may have been sleepwalking in a couple of games and were not focused. They will be very hard to beat without bringing an A game and hoping they don't bring an A game.

The bye week is why we will lose. I’m sorry to tell ya, but stoops has a pretty bad losing record outta bye weeks.

I wish OP putting me on ignore would make it look like he doesn’t exist
Same. I don't understand why this troll hasn't been removed. He's not even a fan. Just pretending to be one because he gets his kicks from baiting people.

Then I’ll slightly amend my post:

A one point win over Texas!

Wow!!
Let me ask you this. Every year Kentucky plays 4 Patsys, while most of the upper echelon of the conference always has a big intersectional game. Kentucky never does… and another thing I win is a win is a win. One point or 15. Alabama won. Just like they beat Auburn last year. They won. To denigrate Alabama—— based on the first game of the year, in Austin. Lack of football knowledge on this board is incredible

Ok yes… sure. I’d love to win of course, but c’mon… to use bye week as a reason we win… that’s a stretch
Why? Because you live in the past? Nope, the bye week helps to heal and prepare, dont be naive.

Stoops is 5-7 at UK after a bye week. However, since 2016 Stoops is 4-3 after a bye.
Listen, we all need to be positive going into Rocky Top Sat nite.
Exude positive vibes for Kentucky not negative as we will get enough negative energy from the Hillbillies.

Thinking with my head: Kentucky loses 24-42 or something like that.

Thinking with my heart: Kentucky wins 34-27 and pulls off the biggest win of national significance since 2007 LSU.

If we win, name the whole damn state after Mark Stoops.

Although a UK fan forever, I’m realistic and I have some UT ties by marriage. So I’m very realistic I’m 70 years old and saw my first Tennessee Kentucky game and the score was 6-2 ! (probably around 1958). Kentucky always plays Tennessee hard
there were blowout wins by the Vols in the 90s due to Shuler / Manning , and Mumme shooting his mouth off that irritated Fulmer ,but even some of them were pretty close.
Stoops is 2-7 against the Vols , and obviously pretty damn good for us.
You guys have been crappy until this year yet, No matter what our fans say, these are facts . Bottom line Kentucky will always play Tennessee hard as hell.
But there is a penchant on our side, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We just need to quit talking and beat your ass. Do I think that is possible this year? Analytics say there is a 18% chance that Kentucky could win.
so it is not zero.
I hope when I am over 70 that I am cool enough to have Tittys in my profile name. While I am a Vol fan, you sir, seem like a lot of fun. I hope at some point that we cross paths and I get to buy you a beer.

Like the positive attitude, but there are about 30 reasons why Tennessee can and should win, Kentucky can win but they will have to get a lot of breaks to go their way, I just don’t know if they will get them
 
It is just your opinion because as of today and statistically speaking UK is the best D and Pass D you will have faced come Sat night! Only Georgia is better in both on your schedule and they are #1 defending Champions!

Alabama was the #2 ranked defense in America coming into our game. We all saw how that turned out.

Our defense has gone up against a hurry O on the road v a top 15 team already this yr and we had Ole Miss beat.
Plus, the bye gave UK coaches and players alike plenty of time to watch the mistakes that Bama’s D made against you.
Kentucky has not one but two great defensive minded coaches.
Stop living off the Alabama win because UK is your arch rival and we owe you.

Care to look up Alabaama's D rankings prior to playing us?
 
LOL.... at all you Vol fans arguing with an absurd post from a dude that makes moronic posts daily....
UT, what a bunch of rubes.
Just my opinion, because I never indulge in name-calling. Immature, usually projection…
Usually that means pot meet kettle
how in the hell would Tennessee fans know about that dude?

it only takes a quick read of the post to know it's crazy.... and a few of the responses from HH...... kinda common sense .. and since you just joined Oct 9th, you prob wouldn't understand yet. But you did join just in time for the UT game. Coincidence?

I have joined and re-joined this board for 10 years
In different names .. I’m near the end
I am a university, Kentucky, grad, and proud of it. My brother is also, and a very prominent academician in the medical school( although I don’t think he knows what colors Kentucky wears…egghead smart)

. Tired of Kentucky being mediocre. extremely tired of playing Northern, Illinois, Youngstown, and Akron with no intersectional game ever. We always start out hot after playing all these, Patsy’s, beat Mississippi State, and think we’re going to win the national championship. I’m being so sarcastic right now for those who can’t follow . Don’t be defensive think about it, Big boosters should demand that Barnhart schedule a PAC, 10 opponent, a Big Ten opponent….. really don’t want to hear that playing in Akron really enhances recruiting in Ohio.
Even Florida who plays Florida State every year, played Utah this year, and they have been infamous through the years for not playing intersectional games. Alabama always does. LSU always does, Auburn, Texas A&M, etc.. Tennessee has done it since I was a kid. … many games with UCLA, Notre Dame, etc
If our basketball schedule can schedule good tough opponents that are always in the top 15 then we should in football. We look weak and scared with that schedule.
We need to be good enough so our fans don’t make excuses every time we slip
our fans don’t care enough. I know everybody on this board cares I’m talking about the people not on the board.
If you want an example, ask another opponent fan, how many threads they are on their chant boards since Monday morning. Try it that will give you an example of the lack of enthusiasm of our fans. Look how many basketball friends have been started since Monday morning and compare it to this board.
I care a lot. I am not a UT fan, but I do not hate them. I have a lot of respect for their tradition and history. Brother-in-law sent me a meme that some idiot UT fan posted regarding the coal Miner that Cal has befriended. .. the meme was not flattering.. he was deluged by UT fans castigating him for that.
Here’s my point. Quit calling UT fans names, like Hicks and rubes and rednecks.
It is classless, and shows how scared we are.
Go Cats

Do hordes of UK fans go on other boards and run their mouths? Do all fanbases do this or just UT? Serious question. I don't get on here much, so I may have missed this from other fanbases. But I've seen UT fans do this over the years for football and basketball. It just never crosses my mind to get on another team's board and start bumping my gums.
I agree with you but yes they do… including our fans

I think this will be the trend going forward. With the transfer portal and NIL, you will see the wealth spread as far as players go. There are a ton of decent football teams this year and I think as the years pass, there will be even more great football teams. The times of one team or conference dominating CFB are over. And with the playoff expanded to 12, who even cares what conference you are in at that point ? Can we move to Conference USA so we can have a better chance at the playoffs?? I kid, I kid, but CFB is changing and is about to change even more .
