Josh Allen as a JR at Wyoming threw for 3200 yards 28 TDs and 8 INT. As a SR at Wyoming he threw for 1600 yards 16 TDs and 6 INT. I’m not saying Will Levis is the next Josh Allen, but at the exact same point in their careers they both are/were being faced with the same critiques.
Will Levis at UK is eerily similar to this point but he will finish better with SR numbers. He is a big kid with a big arm and despite how frustrated as fans we are, the NFL scouts are looking at things we don’t care about.
Barring something catastrophic, Will Levis will either be the 2nd or 3rd QB taken next year and that will be in the Top 5.
If you need something in game that relates to being an NFL QB

Levis is 6-5, has a huge arm, can "make all the throws," and is a very good runner. He could quit the team today and still end up being a 1st round draft pick. Doesn't mean he'll be an All Pro, but he'll be a top pick.
I am extremely concerned with his (and Stoops/R-Scangs) ability to run a hurry up offense. Hal Mumme is perhaps the biggest offensive influence on college football over the past 30 years, and he didn't even have a playbook. But he DID understand how to attack, how to pressure the opposing defense, the importance of tempo, the impact of spreading out the field.......we basically do none of that.

Tennessee's obese head coach plays an exciting brand. They hit the lottery with him if he can recruit.
The contrast between the two style was completely humiliating on Saturday night.
- Always been a bit contrarian when it comes to sports fandom. Lived on the coast of Virginia in 1983. Lots of NC State fans so I was a UofL fan. Lots of Redskins fans, so I was a Cowboys fan. Lots of Tidewater Tides (NY Mets AAA) fans, so I was a Richmond Braves (Atlanta AAA) fan. I did, however, embrace the Orioles with the rest of the area because they were on TV all the time. Moved back to Louisville. Lots of UofL fans so I was a UK fan. Lots of Reds fans so I maintained my Braves fandom and hated the Reds. When the Braves lost the powder blue uniforms, started winning pennants, and became the bandwagon team, I lost interest. The only constants over the past 40 years are UK and the Orioles, and I only freely admit one of those.
- BoyTweon is learning what it's like to be a UK football fan. Bless his sweet innocent heart. He actually believed we would beat UT Saturday. Ah, the naivete of youth.
- As much as I want to rip on Levis for being overrated/overhyped, and I do, our OL is so bad that it's hard to judge him fairly. You could put Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts behind our line and they'd look like crap. God I wish we had Schlarman back. Success, especially at the SEC level, starts and ends with the lines. It's that simple. Having a special teams unit that isn't "special" is nice too.
- Halloween candy rankings:
- Universally Accepted Top 5:
- Reese's PB cups
- M&M's
- KitKat
- Twix
- Snickers
- Meh 5 (not awful, but definitely going on waivers):
- Baby Ruth
- Laffy Taffy
- Nerds
- Starburst
- Skittles
- Unfairly Maligned 5:
- Smarties
- Whoppers
- Black and orange PB kisses
- Mounds/Almond Joy
- Tootsie Rolls
- Worst 5:
- Circus peanuts - 100% lock that your house is getting vandalized
- Milk Duds/Sugar Daddies/Dots - way too much work just to be rewarded with a dentist appt.
- Anything non-edible - coupons, Bible verses, erasers, pencils, bubbles
- Good & Plenty - just awful
- Anything healthy - if it won't give me diabeetus, I don't want it in my Halloween haul
- Universally Accepted Top 5:
The worst Halloween candy are the black and orange wrapped peanut butter taffy balls. Nothing comes close to their awfulness.
CMD can just take his Milk Duds hate, and get the hell out of here with that. No place for that kind of nonsense here.
Milk Duds are great in isolation; however, on Halloween, when there is so much other goodness to plow through, Milk Duds are basically speed bumps.
Baby Ruth is a solid candy bar.
Bryan Harsin gets a $15 million buyout for coaching 21 games at Auburn.
I used to want bradyjames money, but really I want non-profit Athletic Department money.

Almost $42mm in buyouts the last 3 years (Gus, Steele, Harsin). Jesus
I’ll be honest, my stomach for the non-athletic parts of college athletics ain’t what it used to be. This NIL collective business is borderline offensive.
Baby Ruths and Paydays are candy bars that you grab a mini one every Halloween and think "man, these are good I should buy a full size one some time" and then never eat them again until the next Halloween.
-the idea of NIL is great in principle...autographs/bully on a zero turn.
^what its devolved into(begging for money to pay kids) is gross. They have soooo much money in the dept/university as a whole.
-bread and circus phase, iirc.
^it's all very close to being a bit too much, tbh. Couple that with the disappointment that comes with being a fan...my excitement for UK sports is waning steadily. Time and treasure better spent elsewhere, atkot.
-go cats or whatever.
-100%...snack size is perfect, whole bar is too much. Same with butterfinger.
Just shows that people who likely are the elite of their given field (being rich boosters) really have no freaken clue how to hire competent coaches. Texas A&M and Auburn are just the latest examples of it.

Saturday morning, about 10 hours before my football hopes and dreams were slashed, I walked into the kitchen to find Coach Cal on TV. Keith Farmer (the Milquetoast of the BBN media world) was just grinning while Cal rambled unchecked for 15 minutes.
Somewhere the middle of this old man rant, Cal of course had to take shots at BJW, while also letting the world know St Peters was like his Marcus Camby Umass team! These guys were legit now! That wasn’t enough, he also let the world know the only people upset with that loss were the folks living in the “Lexington bubble”.
I wanted to throw my oatmeal at the screen, and in hindsight, I should have smashed that screen, then proceeded to smash every screen in the house.
F that guy.
If, after more than a decade, you intentionally listen to anything Cal says that's on you.
-the go-go's are/were dope.
^the behind the scenes/tour stories are legendary. Those gals could play...and liked to party. They're as rock n roll as it gets.

- Refreshed GYERO after working all day and first post I saw said “Well we just lost Wheeler for the season.” Lost my stomach for a second before realizing it was an in-game post. I am fed up with this crap. Way too much analyzing injuries the past 5 years.
- 100 Grand - most underrated candy bar out there. Crisp of a Nestles Crunch and caramel of a Milky Way, housed by a silky smooth milk chocolate.
- Jerseys with a font featuring an open 4 are just weak, IMO. Close it up.
- Sorry bout it BBN but Shaedon Sharp is an absolute stud.
- UK’s new jerseys are pretty close to our blue ‘92 alternates.
- Matt Campbell stayed too long.
- That Toppin turnaround J but enough with posting ANYONE. It’s inefficient and we’re terrible at it for the past 6 years.
- I’m really surprised NIL has become a circus. 👀
- Top 5 Sports Cliches Annoying Me Right Now:
1. Cheat code.
2. You had one job.
3. This is why we can’t have anything nice.
4. Unicorn
5. Inside baseball

At some point the players are going to get a % of TV revenue. The P5 would be smart to hire a college football commissioner and start figuring things out before it gets dropped on them.
- 10-20% of revenue or a hard $$$ money cap so all schools are on the same playing field.
- Each school can decide how they want to split it up by sport and player.
- Players can pursue NIL on their own. Wouldn't be nearly the shit show it is now if they are getting a salary from the TV revenue.

As much as I despise the kid (and more correctly, his pimp... ahem, "handler"), it is to our benefit for him to be a good pro. We can slap that moptop f**'s picture in our NBA montage photos and count his salary in our recruiting pitch.
I'm glad he's on the west coast for a small market team so me having to hear his name is minimized.
I just wish no one would ever bring him up in GYERO ever again for any reason.
As the cliche goes it is what it is no matter how many times we circle back, beat a dead horse, or rehash.
“Sir this is a Wendy’s” and all the other misused derivatives of it are awful too.
also, those spirit Halloween memes suck for the most part. The joke is to list items that could be worn to make the costume but most of them miss the mark. They just list attributes of the the thing the costume is supposed to be. It’s not the same thing !!
Happy Halloween ! Gonna have (2) hot dogs, a zombie princess and a puppy on my IG later.
Xmas tree will be up by Friday 🎅

Don't begrudge the kid one bit. Cal got played.
I like Dame Liliard so I like seeing a few good players around him. Enjoy seeing Sharpe do good.
It isn’t like we didn’t have enough to beat St Peters without him last year so what does really accomplish if he plays? We get to the next round and lay an egg?
Sounds fun!

If Cal is still butthurt about the kid gloves Matt Jones gave him during the worst season in Kentucky basketball history, that's amazing. Also, can GYERO put in a formal request for Cal to be interviewed by drunk, angry Hyman Kaplan?
It sounds like Cal and the program took him even though they knew he didn’t have an actual high school diploma so they couldn’t play him.
