Yeah, it’s a shame.
USC’s D kept U of L in it for as long as they could.

"Bear" Brohm and the boys going to end the season on a three game losing streak
- Thread starter Uncle Adolph
- Start date
Things only get easier for UL, odds are FSU, Miami, UNC, Va., VA. Tech bolt to SEC and Big Ten which opens the door for UL similar to when they were in Big East.
Couldn't happen to a worse bunch of fans.
I've really enjoyed watching their fall and their constant moving of the goal posts.
They were going to beat us because they had Brohm. They lost, but "Enjoy watching us in the Orange Bowl while you guys play in a crappy bowl." They of course wound up NOT getting the Orange bowl.
But then "Well, the Holiday Bowl is a special bowl steeped in tradition. USC is going to be such a huge win for U of L to end the season. San Diego is nice this time of year."
They lost that too. I assume we're back to "Brohm is going to beat you guys. He'll never lose to Kentucky again!"

They should be grateful they didn't get UGA in the Orange. That would have been a blood bath.
Looking at their schedule for ‘24, they’ll lose to us, ND, Clemson, and probably SMU. Road games don’t look tough but everyone knows how hard it is to go into the pressure cooker at BC or UVA and pull out a win lol. Will possibly lose at Stanford though. They’ll talk playoffs all spring and summer, keep talking early in the season, and then end up 7-5 to 9-3.
I was just going by what another poster said. I will admit while I reveled in their pain, I didnt care enough to verify the opt out number
Even with 10 wins this was not a great season

Don't disagree at all. If those teams leave for greener pastures, how does the ACC not fall to a G5-level of conference. Adding Cal, Stanford and SMU doesn't add much to their football luster. Losing Clemson, FSU, UNC, Va Tech, et al would be a huge subtraction. No way that conference would be strong enough to warrant an automatic bid to the playoffs.
And, don't get me started on auto bid for 'best' G5 team. Tulane was the odds-on favorite almost the entire year to be the best G5 and they got waxed in their bowl game by 3 TDs by a .500 Va Tech team. I guess SMU, at #24, is the G5 'best' team. In what universe should they be allowed to play against Michigan or Alabama or UDub or TX? I would expect the G5 team to become the March Madness equivalent of a 16-seed: glad to be there but only once in a blue moon will they be competitive or actually win. And, a deserving team from a major conference with 2-losses will miss out.
UL fans are not as big of frauds as the media.
It wasn't the fans that had UL in the top 10 and on the verge of making the playoffs.
It was the dam idiotic media. And it happens every year that UL wins 3 games in a row regardless of the competition.
Ray Charles could see that this UL team had a lot of flaws and was mediocre on their best day.
Give credit to JB for pulling out 10 wins against crappy competition and somehow convincing his own fans AND THE NATIONAL MEDIA, that they were an even remotely decent team.
BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T.
But, we will see this scenario play out over and over again with the UL fans AND the sports media anytime they win a few games to start the season.

Really asking this ?
What were they ranked when we beat them? Where did we beat them? What did the loss do to them?
Yea it's necessary, how much should we have beaten them by as the underdog on the road?
Their DL looked suspect to me. UL was pounding them on the ground for 220 yard and an avg of 4.9/carry. It also dominated the clock. UL had 2 TOs and USC had one costly TO on the goal line. This was a 7-5 USC team that put up 362 yards in the air with a first time starter and missing a number of players.
With an easy schedule, even for the ACC, Brohm took an 8 win team to 10 wins. The 2023 team was more talented than the 2022 team and did not have to play Clemson or FSU, in the regular season. It also lost to a Pitt team that finished 3-9, with one of those wins over Wofford.
This cannot be Brohm’s best coaching year.
A win is a win, but beating UT and UF the same year is what I call a step in the right direction.
We should have never gotten ourselves in a situation where we see them as rivals.
That's a totally different discussion, and one I agree with.
Refs lol, same thing they’ve been saying for weeks after we beat that ass. Rent free.Even with 10 wins this was not a great season

Agreed. Beating UL has been pretty regular over the past 7 years.
Everyone knew UL wasn't any good all season. They should have lost 5 or 6 regular season games and that's in the mediocre at best ACC.
Beyond me why a defensive player would want to play for Riley, he cares not one iota about D.
Well for me …..just because I hate them and their fanbase doesn’t mean I consider them as rivals .
Oh for sure. But then they'd still brag they were in the Orange Bowl.
Getting knocked out of the Orange Bowl, settling for the Holiday bowl, and losing to a not good USC team is more embarrassing for them IMO.
They think their D held FSU from scoring... it wasn't that they were missing qb's.Even with 10 wins this was not a great season

Yes. I live near Louisville and have to listen to them yap every time they beat a team ranked in the 50's+.
Did Brohm really do that well at Purdue? It appears to me it was just kind of flat and average for several years.
He's just a notch above .500 as a P5 coach, no reason to think his U6 escapade will be different.
THIS....FSU was one deminsionable the entire game. And 7's still got out played and coached.
So, what do you think the conversation would have been if we had LOST to this UL team???
So, YES, it was a big win for us, and a HUGE LOSS FOR THE CARDS.
I agree with CMS on this one. NEVER apologize for a win.
I wonder if Kenny Payne and company were coaching their secondary the last few weeks..

Riding Guerendo is not so bad but the D has to help.
I see this moron is still around from the past and still an idiot.
Failed to mention Caleb Williams and 10 other USC starters didn't play.
And a USC D that was beyond bad the entire season.
Wow, is that moron still around spewing his same Ol moronic shit?
yep, he got drunk and went on a rant,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it happensGot the ban-hammer after we beat them, dude was freaking tf out.
i think he is banned until after the first of the year
National sports media's lofty ranking of U6 made it a "big win.' UK had nothing to do with their ranking.
Knoxville has beaten us for decades save 3 games and yet they still get great enjoyment smack talking UK and reveling in our shortcomings
We were a dog in the game, at their place, with them running their mouths like they were Goliath. Yes it’s way necessary.
Next year they avoid all the good teams in conference again. Not sure how that’s possible but go look at next year. EASY PEEZY DEEZY. WOW. They do get Clemson but avoid Fl. St. , North Carolina and Duke. Basically the same schedule as this year exchanging Clemson for Duke. I see minimum 9 wins.
