A positive from UofL's 12-0 run will be when/if they lose, we'll get to mock them unmercifully for it in the same vein as LOLZ 38-1 YOU sUcKs.
Which is maybe why building a PR campaign around a then HS senior QB isn't a good idea I dunno just spitballing hereI'm skeptical that he can keep it up against a team with a defensive pulse. I'm also skeptical that Barker will lose his job because of an injury. An entire PR campaign was built around him, so I have a hard time believing he'll be benched for good.
They're chasing history. That's their only competition right now. #Legacy1Championship4evaA positive from UofL's 12-0 run will be when/if they lose, we'll get to mock them unmercifully for it in the same vein as LOLZ 38-1 YOU sUcKs.

They ran off Jim Bunning's grandson for Barker after Towles proved to be halfway decent. I can't imagine they are going to turn the keys to an unknown JUCO after a game against one of the few D-I defenses worse than our own.
Both QBs will get their chance. One or both will be killed by a real SEC team's basic 4-man Rush.
Killed. Dead.
I am worried.
This will be interesting as it unfolds. Stoops may be damned if he does (throws yet another QB under the bus to save his skin - one that he supposedly built his whole program around) or damned if he doesn't (be stubborn and not give us what would appear to be the best chance to win, by playing Johnson).
His only satisfactory solution is to make the right choice and win games doing it.
Unfortunately the money involved in the buyout is just one of the many concerns. Also have to take into account the coaches that will be available in the off season, do they scrap all of the assistant coaches, and who in the hell is making this hire.
I mean I hate to say it but unless the stars align and we have some confidence in an available coach to get us back to the glory days of 6-6, and have the right personnel to make the hire of that coach- there is no use searching for the buyout money. In 2 years we'd likely be in a similar position (where wee have been historically), and we'd just waste a ton of money.
The results are inevitable this year, and probably next year. I would love for someone to come along and save this team, but I think we are stuck just riding out this contract and parting ways after the fact.

Ive been screaming this at my buddies that are all in for firing Stoops now. Why? Well suck this year and next and the next either way. If you buy Stoops out, throw 12 million at him, hire a new shitty coach that inevitably loses here, everyone will be yelling to buy him out too in 3-4 years.I mean I hate to say it but unless the stars align and we have some confidence in an available coach to get us back to the glory days of 6-6, and have the right personnel to make the hire of that coach- there is no use searching for the buyout money.

Basically, why waste the 12 million?
Exactly. This is why the narrative the school is pushing through the local media doesn't hold water. If Mitch were trying to fend off potential suitors for Stoops with the second extension, he failed miserably. There was no greater penalty for Stoops leaving written into the deal. Stoops had a savvy agent and fleeced the university.
Anyone who talks about firing Stoops now or anytime soon while allowing the same AD who hired him & negotiated his contract is a monumental moron. I mean bang your head against brick wall causing CTE stupid, wanting to do the same failure over & over again expecting it to be different NEXT time.
Call him bad, call him Freido, whatever, but he stays until someone else is in charge at UK hiring & writing up multi million multi year contracts IMO.
Next week should be the same kind of cripple-fight entertainment as yesterday. 1st to 50 will win, over/under set at 101.5
