I'd like to see him get a chance to play Penn ST. in a bowl game. I think he would show out.

The Cats have had some great games with Penn State over the years. Back in the 1970's when Fran Curci was coach some of the best victories in UK history were against Penn State and Papa Joe

I was at the Citrus Bowl a few years ago when the Cats took it to Penn State. It was a great game and a great day. I would like to see a repeat of that. The Cats are on track to go to a good bowl game, possibly on New Years Day. If it is in Florida, I will be there.

It would be nice to see some D Leaguers there.

What was the score? UK was 3.5 point.

So what is this 42-21. A favored team by 3.5 does not double the score. Or do they?

Alabama folded. I knew that Alabama would come back but they just could not get over the hump.

Next week UK can make a statement. Can UK handle that UGA rush? I don't know. But after today I ain't going to say that they can't!

There was A TON of late money on LSU in this one. Line went from 3.5 with one service down to 1.5 the day of the game. I don't bet on games, but I do follow the lines for research purposes.

I am watching sports center for the first time in a couple of years and now I will not watch them again for another couple of years. So far as many commercials as coverage, and so far no UK-LSU coverage but, they did show 2 winless team highlights. Umass vs Uconn. Probably because they are headquartered in Bristol Connecticut.

Smart move. Back 12-20 years ago I used to stay up watching that waiting for highlights of our big wins. ALMOST NEVER put our football wins or great games on the screen. I only turn on ESPN when absolutely necessary anymore. They are worthless.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and cloudy. Today's high expected reaching 95°F.

Loved the beatdown last night. Our Cats are 6-0 and one of last two remaining undefeated teams in the SEC. Awesome. So happy for and proud of this team and the BBN.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-LEAGUE!

Proud of these Cats, playing like I knew they might and could! Wonderful TEAM victory last night!

Loved that the normally negative media in Lexington was stunned into near silence in the post-game press conference with Coach Stoops! Totally unprepared for the victory. Clearly disappointed at the result. SCREW EM ALL!

Brought me joy to see Chris Oats at both of these last 2 games.

I had the Cats winning 10 in the regular season with a shot at 11, and possibly a win in the post season as well. I hope I was wrong and they can beat both LSU AND GEORGIA. I thought in preseason they'd "beat one or the other but not both." Let's hope they can finish the season healthy and strong! I'm not counting them out of the Georgia game, don't get me wrong.

This is what my football dreams are and have been made of ever since I moved to KY (with the exception that I'm still playing the game). Thankful to God in heaven for this wonderful, temporary distraction from the real world! It really has given me a boost!

Back's been out for the last 3 days. I thought pushing through it would make it better, but it learned me otherwise. Spending my days on the floor is humbling and frustrating, but it will relent when it is ready.

ENJOY this season NO MATTER what comes next! This is an incredible thing to see take place! Glad I get to share it with everyone here!

May God keep you safe, healthy, and fixed on Him!

Nope. Only 1 team that lost might drop below us, and I think most voters will use that as an excuse not to vote us higher. Coaches poll is another story

I counted 4 teams ranked ahead of us that lost yesterday. If the resume was considered we would have already been in the top 10. Coaches poll will give us some love and CBS has us at 8 I believe.

I would like to see the Cats crack the Top 10. Going to #1 ranked Georgia as a Top 10 team makes the game more important and the national coverage a little better.

I would vote Kentucky in the 7-9 range. One important thing during this run is recruiting. The Cats are bringing in better and better talent. 5 stars and 4 stars. We should get a few of them and build on that. Always looking ahead in the recruiting battles. This is a great time to be a Cat fan.

I can't remember the exact numbers from the Jones Show last night, but I think they said we have around 22 4*s and no consensus 5*s. Georgia has 5 5*s and 44 4*s. Wasn't that long ago that we had about 1 4* and we were excited about it.

If we build it, they will come

Yeah, it's nice to see UK bowl eligible once again.

Something catastrophic would have to happen to keep us out of a bowl for the foreseeable future. I would think. We have our 4 OOC games we can count on each year and there will be at least 2 SEC teams we can beat each year. Some bowls will be better than others, but they've watered it down so far with as many bowls as they have, I can't see us not going as long as Stoops is here.

Or maybe not...

No respect. CBS does have the Cats at 10.

These rankings are a mystery to me. Alabama is still #1 and the team that beat them is not on anybody's Top 25 list. I would keep them in the Top 4 but you have to go #1 with Georgia.

And UK is not respected at all in this poll. There are 6 teams ranked above the Cats with one loss and the Cats are undefeated. And they play in the brutal SEC. But what is new?

UK football has a certain stigma about it in the minds of those making out the rankings/polls.

The new rankings aren't out yet. These are from last week. May see a move up a few spots, but no idea if we'll go much further in the AP. Coaches poll may see us in top 10

OK, that makes more sense. UK better be in the Top 10 if there is such a thing as justice. Any other SEC team would be with a 6-0 record and wins over Florida and even LSU

If the Cats somehow get past Georgia, let the dreams begin.

***Poster NotStickingAround...let me know if you found you're way here.

My knowledge of Willow Shouls KY (Lee County) is limited to the one time my dad took me there and showed me where he was born.

The road to Willow Shouls was nothing more than a gravel/dirt road. The spot of land where my dad was born was next to the L&N RR which is now owned by the CSX. You can see Willow Shoals on Google map (I hate to promote that site). There's a dirt road that heads over to a small group of buildings that sits next to the L&N/CSX RR line. Based on what my dad told me, he was born in a small building at one of those spots. My memory is fuzzy because it was about 40 years ago.

This post may disappear into vapor but...that's what I have.

***D-League...my post above is in response to a message to me from NSA on the BB board. I suggested he/she head over here to calmer waters so to speak. Anyway, I think NSA is putting together info about a spot in Lee Co. KY where my dad was born.

we knew (or should have), at his first press conference accepting the job. He gave his priorities. But nobody listened. And still didn’t for a few years, because he was winning. Only when the product on the floor caught up with the misguided plan, did fans begin to question his priorities. But it’s been there from day one. Go back and listen to his acceptance speech if you don’t believe me. I, got one, was never on board. But I caught hell on the Rafters because of it.
