There is only one play. Wagner in the end zone. We have pissed this game away.

- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
4th and 1 came back to bite Kentucky in the ass. Should have punted. Different outcome maybe.
He's got some good recruiters under him, but we'd be better off to pay someone to take that ginger bitch off our hands and get a MAN for a coach.
I'm off of here before I say something negative. Catch you tomorrow.
When their QB went down they out scored us 19 to 0. Ball game
Watched the game at the neighbor's. Stunned. One of the most disappointing losses I've witnessed.
BTW. Targeting is killing the game.

Guess we, or the coaches, haven’t progressed as far as we thought.
Several things led to this loss. Early, we QB sneak it for 3-4 yds when we need 1. Then, we get into the 4th Qtr and have it 3rd and 1, then run 2 plays from the Wildcat to turn it over on downs, when a 1st down probably would have won the game. Then, that really stupid targeting call. We sack the QB and they call targeting. It goes from 3rd and long, deep in their territory, to automatic 1st down, close to mid field, where they go on to score. Last, we don't try to score, we just try to get it close enough to attempt a FG, and unless you have Austin MacGinnis on the sideline, you go for the TD, as time expires. But, of course, this Kentucky football.
Once again. Damnit.
I agree. Once the tackler is committed, all the ball carrier has to do is lower his head and make contact with the tackler's helmet and it is a 15 yd gain and an automatic 1st down. Plus, the defensive player is ejected. Crap, they allow more contact in basketball, and they don't wear equipment. They may as well play flag football.

This is what happens when you play not to lose and go conservative
This game tonight is an example of how we used to do it.
They're taking away what these guys do naturally. They tackle. How can you change your flight in mid-air when going for a tackle?
It's heading that way.
I'm poor mouthing Stoops until that bitch leaves.
That was truly horrible.
10 wins a fluke? You bet your ass it was. Benny and Josh ain't walking through that door. Lightning in a bottle. We aren't done screwing up this year. Secondary may as well be in power chairs.
I would say Chance Poore.
27,000 students, one of them can kick the hell out of a football. Snatch up someone off the soccer team. And not someone who looks they belong on the chess team.
NO Matt Jones! You do NOT get to give Gran props for the play of the backup quarterback when it seems apparent that he should have been the starting quarterback all along. His passes are more accurate. His passes are more catchable. He can run just as effectively.
Anyone can take advantage of prosperity, how does he stack up during adversity? FAIL.

Up and going fishing. Need something to get the taste of that game out of my mouth.
I agree. Pond water would taste better than that game.
Good Morning D
That is pure truth. Stoops and Gran have something against extending leads. We get a few touch downs ahead and and think we have to slow it down. It is like we go into a four corners stall to use basketball terms. Last night we put on the brakes way too early and started playing not to lose. Against a team like Florida that gets you beat. And it did once again. We have all seen this movie before and we knew how it was turning out.

Good Sunday morning D-League
Our weather should be pleasant today and the sun has come up. Currently in the mid 70's with highs in the mid to high 80's this afternoon. Our normal weather pattern. I tossed and turned last night over that ball game. I am old enough not to do that but losing another one like this is something I can not stomach. Add this to the list of many games we have lost that we should have won and were the better team. Our philosophy is not to try to take it to the end zone every possession. It is to get a little lead and then play not to lose. We get cute with the "wildcat" play when we have a quarter back who can get 2 or 3 yards up the middle when we need a first down. But like they say we have seen this before and it will not change. Last night was a HUGE loss and changes our entire season. We are going to have to beat somebody we seldom beat like Tennessee to make up; for it. But I sure will not bet for that to happen.
Oh well, enjoy the day everybody.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and clear. We expect 100°F again later today.
Tough loss last night. I'll leave it at that.

Yeah that sucked last night, no doubt.
Had it to win...
I was only able to watch the first and fourth quarters.Unfortunately.
The targeting call has got to go, neither of those were "targeting"!
Doesn't matter...game over, move on.
Gotta do some bills and then go to church.
The redhead is working today. i think I'm going to pick up #2 and #2 1/2 and go visit Mom & Dad this afternoon. Haven't seen them for a bit.
Have an enjoyable Sunday.

That loss hurts bad. Especially knowing that UK let one get away.
The Tennessee game has become a huge one for us now that we let Florida get away. We have to make up for it somewhere on the schedule and beat a team we lose to much more often than not. Georgia is far superior and we play them in Athens so that leaves Tennessee. We have to beat them this year and can't choke it.
But we have a long way to go before Tennessee so I need to quit looking ahead.

Speaking of Tennessee, Georgia State got beat 57-10 by Western Michigan yesterday.
You have to look ahead if you're going prognosticate. That's how it works.
We might lose one more game, who knows? If that happens I'm still going to bitch about the Florida game though.

I saw that this morning and just laughed. Tenn. did beat up on a powerhouse Chattanooga team. So they've got that going for them, which is nice.
Even Furman played Georgia State closer than Tennessee. The sad part is that Tennessee fans were talking smack about UK losing to Florida earlier. Yes it was a bad loss, but nowhere near Georgia State's level.
Eastern Michigan beat Illinois yesterday 34-31. Might be better than we thought.
Straight up football, without the bullshit, we beat Florida yesterday. We are as good as they are and they were ranked 9th.

Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.

....and meanwhile, UT is looking a little better each week. I'm looking at UT and South Carolina as "toss up" games right now. As UK fans know all too well, no UK lead is safe.
