It's great that the Cats tied the game but with 2:04 left in the game it's too much time. Go D! Please.

Deja vu over and over and over and over and over again.
The pass defense is dreadful. Other than that this is really a good team. Well, the pass offense isn't that good either. Ali is all they have.
We really need those early OOC games. Really needed.
That was a truly horrible loss. Shame on Rose for his blunders, Fire the place kicker at once. Maybe an 0-4 start is possible.
That's one of the funniest, oddest evaluations of a team I've seen (and I mean that in a good way). Ever thought of going into talent evaluation?
Spur of the moment comments is all I have these days. Really disappointed at this point.
I suspected it would be a catastrophe without them.
Yes. Those 2-3 games are critical.
*sigh*. Hope we give it to the "Mad Scientist" next week.
This lose was very painful. The cats are truly cursed.
Good Sunday Morning D League
The cup of coffee is strong and good on a morning like this. . Our current temperature is 65° and we should reach 75° for a high. There is rain in the area.
From the results of the football team the last couple of weeks one wonders what they were doing in the off season. Ole Miss has a new coach and didn't even have spring training to get his team going. Yet he goes out and puts up 42 points on what we were led to believe was a very good UK defense. Makes me SMH. And now we have Mike Leach coming to town. The same Mike Leach so many UK fans say can not coach in the SEC. Time to have an attitude adjustment Stoops or we will be in for a very long day.
Oh well that is my rant. These warriors are not afraid of Mike Leach Y'all have a very nice day.

Well, some of the folks on HOB were making their predictions, before the season started, and I said we would be lucky to go 4-6, and probably only go 3-7. They made fun of me, and I was roasted in 5-6 posts. My reasoning was that I thought we would go 7-5 this season, and we lost 4 wins from the non-conference games, and picked up 3 tough SEC games. How many times have we gone over .500 in the SEC in the past 30 years? Even with the good team from last year, we went 3-5 in the SEC. Now, after seeing the secondary perform, I think we go 2-8, possibly 3-7. We just lost a lot of talent out of our secondary, and we lost Dean Hood, our secondary coach. It shows.
Most of my career was in electronics. Can remember talking to R&D engineers at a couple companies out in Technology Park (Norcross, GA) and people at Ga Tech back before cell phones hit the market and they were working on the technology. I use to kid them about Dick Tracey. Shows how smart I am.Written in 1953
One of the things they worried a lot about was people holding a cell up to their ear, microwaves, and the like. They all seemed fairly confident that it would lead to increased brain cancer, tumors, and other problems with the brain even though the amount of exposure would be below the government recommendations. I guess time will tell.
Too many of our fans over the last number of years (even with Brooks) went over the top thinking we were better than we really were. Like you said, take out the OOC games and the record's not very pretty. Then add in a helping of you can go to a bowl game with basically a .500 record, and some can't see the forest for the trees.
Yep. You win 4 OOC games, and then go 4-4 in the SEC and you find yourself with an 8-4 record. Pretty good, but not enough to get you into the top 10. The problem is that UK has had some good recruiting classes, but when you are 19th or 20th in the country, but 3rd last in the SEC, you are not gaining ground on the top schools. You have to hope to coach them up. Josh Allen, Lynn Bowden, and Benny Snell were both 3 star recruits coming out of HS. They were late bloomers and hard workers.
I think in recent times one of the darlings of UK fans, Matt Jones and crew are partially responsible for this false narrative. They pump up the team to build their "brand". When you have the Cats going undefeated before Alabama and thinking you are going to beat Tennessee and Florida on the road you are clueless about college football.
Our SEC record is anemic and everybody can see this except those closest to our program. UK and Vandy are probably the only SEC schools that would put up with our SEC record. We talked our self into believing we were superior to Ole Miss and even thought our coaching staff was superior. Over the summer UK should have and could have built on our past two seasons. But the coaches had other issues to address and here we are 0-2 with the meat of the SEC schedule ahead. Mike Leach will be ready for his return on Saturday. Stoops better be too.
I think a lot of it has to do with UK's improvement over the past few years, and they have been pretty competitive. But, the fans want to be elite, in football, and when UK got competitive, the fans just got unrealistic expectations. If they would look at everything, and be realistic, they would not be so disappointed. I want UK football to be good, but, we are not going to recruit as well as the teams that have lots of HS talent, in their state, and get those kids to stay home. Look at all the talent in LA, Bama, Florida, GA. Lots of times, we get kids from Florida, and they are pretty good, but they didn't even get an off from an SEC school. You can't be out Florida Gulf Coast, LA-Lafayette, and Middle Tennessee for recruits and expect to win the SEC title.
We are doing on-line church this Sunday, but we are going to attend, in person, next Sunday. It's time for us to get back, hopefully, we will be safe.
Good point. It is extremely important for UK to dominate the Top 10 talent in Kentucky every year. They will seldom if ever get the best players out of other states.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 62°F and clear. Expect 88°F for our high today.
Tough loss yesterday. Ugh! Our kickers should practice 24/7 for remainder of season.
Chores on agenda later this morning.
Wishing continued happiness and good health to all our fellow D-League members.

I truthfully never bought the pre-season hype for a second. Never wanted to mention it though. The only difference between now and many previous seasons is that UK is at least competitive on the field with SEC teams and not an automatic win for them. We might have gotten better with those OOC games though and worked out some bugs. No breathing room with this schedule.
Good Morning D
There is s good chance Pres Trump will be releases from Walter Reed tomotrow. No fever since Friday

- Good Sunday morning, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers. Everybody is pissed about losing the Ole Miss game. I am too. Kicking is not hard to do, but to be good at it, you have to kick a million practice kicks. And you must have a knack for kicking accurately, also you need a very good snapper and a good holder. It takes a lot of practice to become excellent at place kicking. We do not have an excellent place kicker on the team. ON THE TEAM. That is on the coaching staff. An excellent kicker is on the UK campus somewhere.
- We have 68º already in Cumming. Very nice. No clouds up there either.
- Dead Whitetail on the side of the road. Someone's car is bent up.
- UGA took care of bidness last night against Auburn. 27-6. UGA will kill us.
- Try to get over that game, Rose's showboating, the place-kicking fiasco, the terrible defense, etc.
- As you were.
- Get well, soon, sickos.
- Carry on.
I'm doomed I don't have a cell phone. I did once. My wife handed it to me on the freeway and I placed it in the front seat. It rang so I picked it up and after pressing several buttons the ringing gadget flew into a barricade at 70 mph . . . I still have a flip but it scares confused folks who look at it like a phaser.
Chester Gould.
Yeah, but he could have used rhinoplasty.
I was reading this and I smiled as I'm blessed with seeing similar behavior exhibited by these ornamental old world (South African) Lovebird parrots at wire sunflower feeder tubes as these family flocks displace the aggressive starlings in southwest artificial suburban environments.

Sad day. I pulled up my tomato plants and the hummingbirds have flown south. Autumn is truly here. I love the season because it's so festive but due to the damn virus it just won't be the same. Plus like ymmot earlier this year, I'll officially become a senior citizen next month.
I think we have been back in church since around the first of June. Just a small Methodist Church with only about 30 average attendance. All wear mask and just using every other pew. So far one case of covid and don't think that was from church attendance because he hadn't been to church for a couple of weeks before he had a fall at home and was taken to the hospital and was of course tested for covid. Hopefully your Church will have good results.
Mark Stoops should ask Bobby Bowden about the importance of a good field goal kicker.
