Looked too easy. Need an answer Cats.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
We need to either spread the blitz out or disguise the blitz.
Good luck Cats. I have the host out of town guests at dinner. Can't say this game so far has helped my appetite. Maybe I've been the jinx.
Just looking too easy for Georgia.
Maybe Georgia isn't any more talented than we are. They sure do execute a lot better than we do though.
There is a wide gap from good to better evidently. Needed 4 quarters to beat Georgia and we wasted the 1st quarter. Not over but not looking good.
No adjustments. They are keying on Crod.
Wan'dale was wide open for a short dink over the middle but Levis never saw him. I just watched his head on the replay. He's got some good skills but we won't see his best until next year.
She's clearing her throat
Now they're giving UGA favorable spots on the ball. He was definitely short of the first down by a yard at least.
Stoops said something to that ref just before he made a ruling on that first down. Might should have kept his mouth shut after he called for a review. We got hosed Davy. We got hosed.
Never thought Georgia would cover the spread. Sure looking like a possibility now.
That refs body language when announcing the Cats were challenging the spot was telling. It was like he was put off or something.
She's got quite a set of lungs on her!
Oh well. It's good that we got to entertain the thought. That's a major step in the right direction and this won't sway us from our path.
Watched the game at a neighbor's party. People were bummed except a few UL fans. They always weasel in to these games somehow. Regardless, I think the Cats put on a respectable showing. Beat the spread. Back to the party.
Only way to beat UGA is through the air. Dawgs run defense is a monster. Great effort, Cats.
They're just faster, quicker, bigger, stronger & better pass catchers. Otherwise, yes, we're similar.
True but not much. Would have been a different game with skilled players holding on to Will's passes. Georgia is built for SEC football and won that fight.. Georgia can be out scored.
Georgia still has to play Florida and UT. Just brainstorming here. Not that it means much.
I a m with you Bert.......I will stick to my ground peppers that I dehydrated.............for a side note.......I worked a bunch of years for a guy that was married to one of the Bloemer Chili daughters.....whose name was Chili....the Bloemers were part of the Delmonico clan..............
The individual peppers you use aren't as important as the cumin seed that you toast with them. Smoky paprika is important too.
I'm still frustrated as well. I'm hoping the Fork U Sun Flowers light it up in Salt Lake tonight. Should be another slobber knocker. Long time rivals. Good teams. 10 PM Eastern ESPN ESPNEWS until Alabama finishes off MissSt

If the Cats made that damn extra point it would have been the most points put up against the Dawgs all year.
I didn't take that too well considering they had already blocked a field goal. We did get in the end zone twice though. No one else has.
I have no idea where we'll be ranked now but if it's lower than 15 it will be more bogus than that first down they gifted Georgia.
Good morning D League.
Kept going over the game in my mind last night while pretending to watch The Shining with my wife (her favorite Halloween movie.)
Georgia is the superior team and deserved to win. But it aggravates me that the play that decisively changed the momentum, gave the Bulldogs their first score and set the tone was that “forward fumble” that the Kentucky kid (and one other) avoided like it was a live grenade.
Ah well. Florida and Tennessee lost and that’s decent consolation.
Hope all is well with you all.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 42° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 65°.
Everyone stay safe on this Sunday.

Good morning D-League.
It got down to 57° last night as a little cool spell came from somewhere. But the sun is up now and by mid afternoon we will reach 76°. That is around our normal average for the year. The yearly average temperature is 72 degrees. So all in all a nice day is in store, weather wise.
OK, let's put Georgia behind us and give them credit for putting one on us. They were bigger, faster and more gifted than our players. They select from the Top 10 high school players and we get the best we can get. We have a few that could play for Georgia but not enough to beat them. But their day is coming.
Now let's focus on the next game up. Take Care Of Business and get the W and then get rid for the next team. If the Cats play to their potential they can finish 11-1. That my friend is a great season, i don't care who you are.
I am in the mood for a good sermon on this Sunday and I hear church bells ringing in my head. I trust all have a great day. Keep the Faith and let's finish off Mississippi State in a couple of weeks.
Somewhere off of the California coast is somebody's wife and children's Christmas present. It is in a box, stranded and silent. I hope it gets to them before Easter.

Good morning!
I told a friend on Friday that we would have to outplay Georgia by a wide enough margin that the refs couldn't take it away from us. The SEC was not going to let lowly Kentucky go down there and knock off the number 1 team in the country, especially since Bama lost the week before.
Sports are crooked across the board from high schools through the pros. How do you know this bertfan? Because HUMANS are involved, that's how. Anyone who believes that ONE referee in the NBA is the only ref to bet on the outcome of a game they are working, deserves to lose their money.
Even the announcers were favoring Georgia.
Not saying we were robbed of the game. Nope. Just saying a few calls went the wrong way at the wrong time. Not picking up the fumbled ball is a boneheaded decision that deserves to be ridiculed, but what if he HAD picked up the ball? No doubt in my mind it would have been ruled an incomplete pass and they would have still retained possession.
We didn't play well enough to win the game against a team that is bigger, stronger, faster, and more -disciplined. Can't deny that. But I have to believe if we would have taken a 17-14 lead into the 4th quarter we would have seen some screwy things happen to get the game where it needed to be.
Let's win out and see what happens.

There is no doubt, and history has shown this over the years, you have to beat the referees to knock off a Georgia or Alabama or any top tier SEC program to come out a winner. That is a given. The SEC wants one of its favorite teams to go unblemished into the playoffs. Georgia is the team this year now that Bama went down.
Mark Stoops did something in the game that made me very very proud. He called a timeout with only seconds left in the game to try to score. I cheered when he did that. I know the sports writers and the sports world thought that was low class since the game was won by the Dawgs. But was it? Our Cats are trying to improve and one way you improve is to play the complete game. The world had us about 23 points underdogs so why wouldn't a team try to beat those odds when only a few yards from the goal line. So props to you Coach Stoops and I hope that one act caused millions of people betting on the game a ton of money. Fight until the bitter end.
Good morning, D-L!
Hope everyone has a great day!
Disappointed we didn't play better last night, but glad we had that long drive at the end. Wish we'd have done that from the first drive. Things would've been much different. Maybe next year in Lexington!
May God bless and keep safe & healthy all of those in the D-L that love Him!

YES SIR! Right there with you!
Nothing better than a good teaching from His Word to get your head and heart right again, and ready for the fight ahead!

Waiting for word from China to unload those containers and take over Cali. That parcel is way past due. The party bought and paid for that state decades ago
