The fake injuries last night were obnoxious. UT was much worse than we were but it did not help that Valentine (of all people) mysteriously keeled over like he was shot in the achilles by a mysterious sniper while being showcased on the jumbotron.

I understand that it is clock management and strategy but there has to be a better way to do that than guys faking injuries on 80+% of plays. It is much worse in person than it is on tv, too.
 
There were a couple UT fans in my section hollering about us faking injuries and asking if we were Ole Miss, who eventually conceded they were also Ole Miss. It was bad. Not as bad as the blown face mask and horse collar or the secondary, but bad.

Funny you mention that because all night the people around me were bitching about UT doing it but nary word when that happened. I mean one minute the kid was standing there in the big screen and the next he was sitting down.
 
Sigh, I’m guilty…I saw the returning line quality and the talented transfers and I thought we were big boy SEC this year.

We are not. Middle of the pack in our conference when everything in the off-season breaks perfectly.

Embrace it, dust off the beach balls and Buffett Greatest Hits album have a Coke and chill.
 
-Agree, except throw that fake ass Buffett garbage in the trash.

-Powerboats are HERE! Best week/event of the year as far as this guys concerned. This’ll be the first year I can’t go to any of the races but also the first year where I work faces the races and will be packed, pretty stoke

-Friends in town, always trouble because they want you to party with them but I’m like bro I gotta work in the morning, you’re going to sleep in and go get eggs and hash browns at noon. I’ll watch the powerboat parade with them and then slipping away into the dusk light around 6ish. Plus, I have zero desire to be out in crowds due to old and done it for a decade.

-After waking up early with some terrible dreams I blame on the game I’ve been hitting the gym hard this morning training back. Feels good.
 
That one was up there with some of worst, most deflating losses of the Stoops era. Stayed positive after the State debacle but I don’t know.

Beat Louisville, get to a decent bowl and get 10 wins, I guess.

We better show TF up Tuesday night.
 
The total lack of respect from SEC officials to blow a key, obvious facemask on our QB of all people then to add the rare 15 yarder on the coach completely chaps my ass. Would they do that to Saban? Yeah right.
 
612 yards of offense and still lose. Same old kentucky is right. Brad White still employed or nah?
 
Just want to reiterate our defensive performance was historically bad.

We’re the only team in recorded history of FBS to have the ball for 45 minutes and lose and we were 2 minutes from doing it in back to back weeks.

All I'm hearing is about the missed facemask but we still converted 4 and 24. We then played our way into another 4th and long losing the game even though we moved the ball at will all game.
 
Yeah that’s reverse thinking or some term. Play calling would’ve been different(lord I hope) if we had gotten the penalty been in FG range with a first down. A few runs to see what kind of yardage we get instead of 3 prayer passes because at worst you know you can tie with a FG.

No argument on the first point. Have no idea where you got the second one. Mississippi State dominated time of possession against us.
 
the missed call would of put us in field goal range

when we converted we had time to still get into FG range.

then on 3rd and whatever, we took a shot at the end zone instead of trying to pickup 5-6 yards to give us a decision to make as to whether or not take a chance at kicking or go for it with a 4th and 5.

Regardless, we scored plenty, our defense was atrocious from the first play, but clearly it was all the missed facemask call.
 
Can anyone explain why our D, supposedly our bell cow, had such a bad night?
A bad night? Our D has been bad since the second quarter of the Georgia game. We’ve allowed 106 points in 11 quarters of football, since then. We’ve scored 72 points in that stretch, but all that accomplished was 0-3. Whatever the problem is (pass defense tops the list), it’s not just one bad night.
