Quality opponent and a tall order. This could be a great win against a ranked team. Regardless of how I feel about Mitch or Stoops, I’m behind my players and alma mater. Let’s go Cats!
Opposite...don't think offense scores enough to win. Will need at least 30 to be in it.I'm always going to watch and root. I just don't have any confidence our defense can stop anyone.
The way our defense is playing, we're probably going to have to score at least 40.Opposite...don't think offense scores enough to win. Will need at least 30 to be in it.
Me too !!! Go Cats !Got tickets and reservations at Gaylord...GOCATS!!!
+1. All I want too. The players need the BBN’s support! I think we’ll come through.Next progression is winning a bowl game, I want to succeed
Truth. It’s cool to face someone different than the expected teams.This was the only bowl spot I had any time or interest to attend. May depend on the weather, but honestly think it is a good matchup. We have not played a Big 10 team in a bowl since the Outback in 1998, and not any B10 at all since 04 or 05, when we stopped playing Indiana.
NW is VERY well coached, in fact, I never understand why Pat Fitzgerald's name never comes up in the coaching search discussions (ditto for Gary Patterson at TCU). They usually are overmatched talent wise when they play the B10 powers, so we have that in common.
They will be disciplined and hard hitting physical Big Ten team - we'll see if our team shows up on D like they did against Florida and Vandy!!??? I think they will and Benny will be Benny though they're a top 10 rushing defense!Will be a real good measuring stick to see where CMS and his program are. NW is a comparable lower-mid tier P5 program. If we beat them, we are on the right track. If not then CMS and MB need to go back to the drawing board and tweak some things.
I’m excited to be playing a Big 10 opponent. We’ll need to bring it in this game. We also need to be disciplined as well.They will be disciplined and hard hitting physical Big Ten team - we'll see if our team shows up on D like they did against Florida and Vandy!!???

Might play around and put the UK logo behind the mascot.
Actually, Fitz was the leading candidate for Notre Dame and Michigan in past searches. He’s an NU alum whose heart bleeds purple. He’s spurned every opening that’s come his way. We are blessed to have him.
Love it! Awesome!
Here's another one with the added UK. Didn't look right behind it so I put it up above it to match the scale of the Northwestern one.

Too cool. I’m gonna make that my wallpaper.
You did good dude.Hopefully it looks alright if you blow it up. Pretty rough around the edges trying to outline and cut the wildcat out and paste to the background using this phone.

UK's offense and defense has been hurting since Miss st and Georgia physically beat us up.
The best thing UK has going is time to heal up and get the extra practice.
I'm excited to see us compete in a bowl game.
GO BIG BLUE!

We don't have four and five stars three deep.Why is it we never beat anyone up physically?
Just now under the Stoops era UK is starting to field a team of SEC size players.Why is it we never beat anyone up physically?
