By April most on here will be drinking the blue koolaide again

[Catfanlou]

I have seen it too many times. A few assistants will be fired . Their replacements will supposedly be the best in the business. We will be told Transfers that come in will be the second coming of Benny Snell , Josh Allen, etc. Once again we will get our hopes up. Season tickets sales will be ok based on hope springing eternal.

We will probably go 7/5 and go to a bowl game .

 

[Imafan4evr_]

There is no scenario in which we go 7-5 running back the same schedule as this season while losing what we will inevitably lose off this roster that managed to turn in a whopping 4 wins.

And the pumpers will be excited.

Spot on

I'll be shocked if we win 7 games next. In no way do I see a scenario where we win more then 4 max 5 games next year!

 

[Emarc]

7-5. 🙄

That's because it (the Kool aide) will have been spiked with heavy shots of gin.

I was spot on with your thread title not being lucky to win 7. next year will be even more brutal than this year . We will be lucky to win 3 games, what a shitshow .THANKS MITCH BARNHART

 

[Rockfly78]

A LOT has to happen in the off season before we should be talking about 7 wins.

We know we will lose most road games and probably all 4 sec home games because that's Stoops Forte. Gonna be tough.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

I can't see how we will have as good a roster next year as we did this year. Given we have the same schedule next year 5-7 seems about right.

 

[Tskware]

This poster and long long time season ticket holder quit drinking the big blue kool aid many years ago. Have to see it on the field to believe it.

 

[kats23]

Extremely doubtful. Folks were excited for last season because of the defense and Vandegrifter but short of a new coach, zero excitement will be here in Spring. We’re losing a ton on defense, a sophomore QB, with likely a few less weapons to throw to.

No chance at a bowl game again.

I think the guy below is far far more accurate than the OP .

Season tix holders will def not be back if Mr Stoops is retained .... I said it once no change of OC's , DC's or Nancy's will bring people back .. unless Mr Stoops walks away .

 

[permdaddy]

I've been driving the Stoops sucks and needs to be fired bus for several years. There will be no kool-aid drinking by me.

 

[Catzman]

Without a complete overhall, and with the new teams in the SEC, IMO 5 wins will always be our new ceiling-no more than 1-2 SEC winnable games. Damn, I have turned into a negative Nancy! Still mad that My son and I attended the South Carolina and Vanderbilt games at a cost of approx. $3500. Thanks God the food at Franks and Dinos and Tonys was superb! Also Big BlueMadness was outstanding after the Vanderbilt loss. GBB-Basketball!

I had friends keep their season tix after moving to Fayetteville NC , flew in for 2 games , drove in 2 times .. they said they wont be back . Long as Mr Stoops is here

 

[UKBlueBlood]

I'm long past the point of summoning optimism ahead of any given season for UK football. Given the current landscape, I'm convinced the ONLY way UK football will ever have even a chance of being a contender for things like SEC Championships and playoff berths is for the program to somehow fall into the graces of a mega donor with endless resources who simply fancies having a competitive football team and is willing to throw however much money is needed at it to buy an elite roster year after year.

 

[rick64]

Not without major changes.

 

[Catfanlou]

I think Stoops and MB’s realize what a failure this year was. MB can’t fire him yet so he will assure him of the resources to improve our product . Stoops has to realize all coach’s not performing have to go or he goes at the end of an ugly season next year . I believe he will do soul searching and quit “ mailing it in “ and regain control and discipline over the program which apparently has been non existent this year .
Maybe he should copy coach Pope ‘s method of analytics . If a coach ‘s area has not performed both in recruiting and up coaching of talent he should be gone .

I said we would go 7/5 because I think that IS our ceiling even if everything goes as good as it can. The schedule is stacked against us . Three sure wins . Four out of the eight SEC games and a new UL might be possible . But I guess so is another 4/8 season.

My point is our ten win seasons are most likely over . They were an anomaly based on a favorable schedule , luck and a great highly motivated staff . Regardless of what we are told to increase season ticket sales I think our ceiling is 7/5 unless a better HEAD coach is hired . IMHO.

With the upcoming schedule, 3 maximum wins

 

[screwduke1]

7-5 haha. The schedule is arguably harder next year and we won 4 games this season.

 

[BigBlue1992]

And that’s exactly what I’m scared of. KSR will convince the select few idiotic fans that it’s a new beginning and they’ll all get back on board. Then Barnhart will extend his contract to 2050 with a $500 million buyout.

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

Brainfardt is banking on the fact that there are alot of stupid f*ks around here, I think that no amount of spin will work this time. This is gonna get fugly.

I think we win 3 games next year. 2-10 is a real possibility.

 

[Deli owl]

The fact that this fan base will expect Stoops to do something different by summer is amazing.

The way I see it … the ONLY way we sniff 7 wins is if we pay top $$$ for OL in the portal and obtain an entirely new line of vastly above-average players. We need to become OL University !!

[Crankdatmustard]

Not me. I am ALLLL the way done. Stoops did some great things here, but in year 12 we are 114 in the country in total offense and can't score 21 points in a game against power 5 schools.

Get the hell out.

 

[Eccain01]

I’m with being negative right now but 7-5 with that schedule next year would be a massive win lol especially coming off this year.

 

[truebluewildcat]

One tweet with the "Big Fella" pointing his finger at some 3* from "football country" and "talent" Mecca Ohio, folks will be gassed up.

 

[Lempface]

Stoops will never have a competitive offense. If he has an overwhelmingly good defense he can get by with a game manager and a strong OL with good running backs. And win low scoring games relying on the D to get turnovers and scores. With this many years and this many OCs, it's a case of when someone shows you who they are, believe them.

And now with the debacles of the last few years he's lost the ship. Time to go.

Just go to the spring/ open practice game. I quit drinking the Koolaid years ago because I go look myself. I have made doom n Gloom practice reports for 2 straight years.
If you watch, you can tell what kind of team we have. Dline was getting sacks every rep, but I was told one on one is no way to evaluate an Oline. lol.
Just watch cohesion, on the same page, and winning individual reps and that will give you a floor.
The best we have ever looked was Woodson last year, and Levis last year in spring. Him getting hurt at Ole Miss killed that team. Also a bad oline. Skill position looked good. Most other years we looked a hot mess.
If I can see it. Zero way the coaches and Media can’t. It is propaganda all the way, even when they know we suck.
