Great Article On UK/UF

Yep, no 'pressure' at all on Stoops to finally end the streak.
Your last win was @ UK, so now's your best chance.
Don't get it done this year and that streak might reach 50.... [banana]
 
You've got it pegged there little gator. Adding one more to the streak on our side with the youngest team in the country but clearly on the rise would have the same effect as blowing the streak on your side after all these years with a team that used to be good it's fans dying for relevance again. Not sure you thought this one through all the way

Let's hope the refs in this game can tell time?
 
BTW, IF the ref had not followed the SEC rules on the clock and called a delay of game, would that have guaranteed a UK win, or only a 5 yard penalty with a re-kick for another attempt? o_O

Both UK and Tn think that they would have won with nothing more than a delay of game being called.... :rolleyes:

Speaking of 'thinking things through' completely.... :alien:

Also, coach McElwain said 'what pressure' when he took the UF job.
His attitude is that's why he's coaching at this level, for the excitement.
Big games? Mc was the OC for Bama's 2009 and 2011 BCS-NC's?
UF's OC was the OC for Bama's 2012 BCS-NC.
I'm thinking that they can prolly handle the pressure of playing in Lexington... [eyeroll]
 
A kick after the penalty didn't tie it. You would have had to score on 4th again.
 
So the answer is that NO, a penalty would not have given UK the game.
I though so.... :rolleyes:

(grasping at straws) :cry:
 
Anyone claiming the no-call cost KY the game is not correct. What is correct is that FL would have been backed up 5 more yards making a 4th and long even longer. The odds of FL reaching the end zone would have been reduced, but KY would have still needed to stop them. IIRC, The KY secondary majorly mis-played the routes on the play as well.

If the KY receiver doesn't drop the ball that hits him in the hands, there would never have been overtime in the first place. The fact remains that KY lost. They surprised the gators last year and won't have that going for them this year. If Towles plays like he did last year, KY wins.

The Kentucky defensive backs basically got caught picking one another which would not have even been possible in the defense we would have set up for a 4th and 12 attempt.

Would have been an entirely different situation, hard to say what would have happened, but I would have liked our odds with 12 yards to gain vs 7.

But while there were a dozen plays which might have/should have gone UK's way and we would have won, UK fans need to get over the "blown" delay of game play, you are embarrassing yourselves and us. With the mechanics the official was obligated to use (or lose his job) no way he could have called the delay of game, probably about 0.2 seconds off from the time running out, and probably snapped in time by about a tenth of a second. Officials AND the rules are not infallible. And that is in slo motion replay with the clock superimposed on the action of the center. Not sure the official had that while looking at the clock.

For ONE play (out of a hundred) that made a huge difference the one interception that not only hit our DB but hit him in the hands, and he not only didn't catch it (with a clear path to a TD) but bobbled it but not only bobbled it but did so in the receivers hands who not only caught it but also made a long gain that not only gained a first down but also set up a TD------easily a 14 point swing on that one easy interception that was bobbled.

But please, get over the "timing error" that cost UK the game, it doesn't exist on that play.

A sad but true fact. And if they had instant replay on that play no way was there enough evidence to overturn the ruling on the field.
 
I think UK wins this game by a TD, but to the article's point, I think this year is the only year McElwain can afford to lose to UK raising the temperature of his seat. I imagine that there would be some grumbling if they lost, but most of the blame would be assigned (correctly) to Muschamp.
 
Instagator what's with obsession with little symbols (I cant get myself to say emoji). Are you using a see and say computer?

No need for a big response to this. It's just simple football. You would have been 5 yards further away, making your success less likely. UKs probability of a win would have gone way up and don't pretend you don't already know that.

I agree with this, and I don't ever like to go into a game making excuses about the result of a different game. SEC football is highly competitive. It is inevitable that there will be close games, that get decided by a couple of plays, or even by 1 play. If Kentucky beats Florida tomorrow, nobody will care about what happened a year ago. And if Kentucky doesn't win, last year's sad stories won't make things any different. It's time to move ahead.
 
Lets get real here...
Urban Meyer put Florida in a tight spot while leaving for OSU.
If thats what it takes to snap the streak then so be it!
 
I don't care how we win, so long as we do. For what I care they could forfeit for being late because their flight had to be rerouted to Chicago after McElwain started screaming at Taylor again. A win is a win.

Okay, let's be real. Urban Meyer did not leave Florida for Ohio State. Meyer left Florida for a job at ESPN. Florida has more money and resources than 90% of the other schools out there. When they hired Meyer, they won a competition with Notre Dame for his services. When Meyer left, they chose to hire Muschamp and then McElwain. Those were their choices. If Kentucky beats Florida tomorrow, give credit to Mark Stoops. Don't make excuses for the other team.
 
BD Im not taking anything away from Stoops and UK if they win. But to basically blow off the magnitude of Meyer leaving in his prime is well lets say qurious.
Im probably a bigger UK fan than you are but the pressure to continue the streak is not on that 1st yr coach, its on Florida.

Guess what folks. Towles didn't.
