Home late, winding down. Great f'ing football game to watch. Didn't seize the moment when we had chances. Proud of the effort tonight. Wasn't there last week at all. Disappointed in not going for it on 4th down. That decision will haunt Stoops wherever he goes no matter what happens.

Stunned at how much our passing game and receivers suck. The regression of Brown and Key remind me of Dorian Baker. Vandergriff played better tonight, but he's still a struggle bus of poor field vision, pocket presence and ball security.

Got to win at spiraling Florida and your home game vs Auburn. Take care of Vandy and Ohio like you're supposed to, and you're at 6 wins. Louisville can still be our bitch.

Sleep.

Most on here won't care, but a few will. Ice Cube brought it. Great sound system, energy, graphics/lights etc. and he hasn't lost a step. He went a solid 90 minutes, solo show and just killed it (providing you like Ice Cube) Well worth the money and time. Loved it.

Opened with Natural Born Killaz (and slayed it)

Also, that outdoor venue at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnatti is a really great place to watch a concert.

 

[PTI (pti)]

He's a 34 year old semi-capable re-tread, nothing more. Signed for way too much this year and if he gets more than $14M then someone is a blithering moron.

You swung and missed as usual.

Elly with his first career Grand Slam.


Worst player in MLB.

That's awesome.

5 for his last 35 with 20 K's. That's HOF-esque.

.191 for the month.

....but he runs fast.

He needs a statue beside Rose at GABP.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Watched a bit of Van Hiles this morning. Our QB clearly struggles to see the field. Maybe things will slow down for him, but how long will that take?

 

[krazykats]

Cole/Elly is the equivalent of Brady/UK Coaches.

 

[PTI (pti)]

We have 300 whole passing yards in the first 3 games of the season. How much more do you want??

Ridiculous.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Woody Hayes thinks PTI is spot on.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Ryan Lemond does a great postgame show! Can't believe anyone would post otherwise!

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Not running a play with 9 seconds left in the half and at least TRYING for a TD grinds my gears.

A LB yelling at the ref (where’d he learn that?) while the ball pops in it at his feet and a UGA player jumps at it also grinds my gears.

The punt was just a sad acceptance.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

You could have an endless debate about punting it or not that last series but I don’t understand why the f you can’t take a at least one shot at the endzone before half. F’ing Stoops

Yeah that’s really inexcusable and sends a clear message to your QB/offense imo.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Both our lines last night were awesome, especially the Dline in the first half.

Does Barion Brown ever get open or does BVG just never see him? Or maybe he just doesn’t see much of anything downfield.

Kinda sucks we don’t play Miss St now because they f’ing blow. They were thumped by Toledo at home.

Was never a big fan of those grey unis but they actually looked pretty sharp under the lights on the telly last night.

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

Don’t need Van Hiles to tell me Van der Beek has trouble going through his progressions. He had a lot of time on plays and you can’t tell me we didn’t have other guys open had he not focused for 5 seconds on primary.

It’s ironic we recruit 5 tight ends a year and never use them.

Crowd impressive in spite of last weeks beat down.

From a game day experience, cell reception was great. Love the Sabotage intro. The Freebird montage was awesome, light show, fireworks, strippers. It was all great.

 

[WayneDougan]

I didn’t mind that. I felt like Brock would have f’d that play up and taken a sack or dicked around until the clock expired.

 

[Hank Camacho]

I'm not feeling morally victorious or anything but after the USCjr drubbing, I feared this team may get blown out by Georgia, the fans check out, and the players just start playing for NIL next year.

The team showed heart and we were not bullied off the field by what is essentially an NFL squad team. There are things to build on. I'm shocked they turned the o-line around that fast. Clearly we are still not good but did anyone really think we would do a better job pass blocking Georgia than USC?

@WynnDuffy - Good looking out. *queenccanabis"

I told you they were going to make a good showing of it. You negative nellies on here make me f***ing sick. You gotta stay positive in life. dig?

 

[creeksman]

Man, I'm not criticizing any players after that effort. Question the punt, the two passing plays before the punt, the FG with time left in the 2Q, sure. Blame the refs, fine. The Wildcats balled out on the field, though. 4 scoring drives on offense, forced UGA punt after punt on defense.

OL was night and day, compared to last week. BVG was a little more comfortable, a step in the right direction. Kattus coming back was big. DSK is one hell of a blocker. Defense was who we thought they were coming into the season, maybe better. Brad White dialed up pressure all night and had the Heisman front runner flustered and running for his life. I wouldn't say Hamdan was in his bag ( 🤮 - i'd never say that), but he seemed competent. Looked like he was in way over his head last week.

A couple have noted how amazing Commonwealth is looking this season on TV. It really pops. IDK if it's the ABC cameras or what, but it really is gorgeous.

We're 1-2 but hope is restored. 7-8 wins are still on the table. I was worried we were looking at a 3 win season.

If you criticized that effort last night after bitching all week about football expectations being too high, recalibrate.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Punt or go for it, deep down we all know the end result would have been the same. Disappointment, frustration, anger, hopelessness.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

I'm most upset about taking the FG in the 3rd quarter on the 4th and 2 in the red zone. Our best chance to sniff the end zone and we took 3 points like that was going to be enough to beat freaking Georgia? Cowardice.

 

[august-west]

I’m mostly pissed that we only lost by 1. Well, not even trying to score a TD at the end of the 1st half ranks up there pretty high.

I swear Stoops, even after all of these years, just can’t get it right when deciding about what to do when it comes to 4th down. He either goes when we shouldn’t or punts when we should. It’s mind bottling.

 

[UK_ENGR1]

If we had gone for it on 4th and failed for the same end result, would we be on here saying we should have punted? I say no…no we would not. Fans aren’t unreasonable with our frustrations with Stoops, we just want to take the shot when those rare opportunities present themselves.

A+ Tweet.

- Jager Burton should not play again unless an injury occurs. The OL was killing UGA last night.

- BVG should be rolled out and even if not by design then by crossing outs and him naturally moving with WRs. His ball on the run is pretty accurate.

- The lack of Brown’s route running ability as to attribute to the lack of him being open. No wonder they tried so many jet sweeps.

- The defense is legit and why we’ll be in most games. Nothing wrong with that, but someone needs to explain to me how a ball can be a catch even if it touches the ground, but if said player then loses the ball it can’t be intercepted.

Maybe we need to reconsider that rule because that was an INT for a TD and that was a game changer.

- In the end we played respectable and I can’t help but think Kirby likes having UK be good and a landing spot for his cast offs. Enemy of his enemies ATKOT.

- I don’t think anything could have happened different at any point that would have changed the outcome. Early 10 point lead off the INT then Beck and that offense wakes up. No fumble by BVG and something else plays out to overcome, and 4th down punt or go it just didn’t matter. They were better and would have done what needed to be done in the moment to overcome us.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Dru Phillips is playing like a monster for the NY (football) Giants.

 

[WayneDougan]

Who knows what will happen today or in his career, but Anthony Richardson has never shown me anything (college or pro), and he just threw a pic as I started writing this.

- You’re playing the #1 team in the country as a 3 TD dog. It’s the end of the first half and you have the ball in a tie game. It’s 3rd and 1 from their 22, there are 15 seconds left, and you have 1 TO. Your kicker has been lights out and has already made a 55 yarder tonight. Do you:

A. Take a shot here knowing your kicker can pretty reliably make a 39 yarder, and you’re content with 3 points and the lead going into halftime?

B. Run the ball one more time just to center it up and hopefully get a bit closer for your kicker, then run the clock down to 1 second and call timeout so they don’t get the ball back?

C. A secret third thing that combines the worst aspects of both of the above approaches with none of the upside?

- Should’ve been 4 down territory as soon as we got to midfield. That was a 3.5 minute drive. We were taking our time.

- Let’s say, conservatively, the chance of converting 4th and 8 there is 15%. Would you not take a 15% chance to beat Georgia?

- That said, if their last punt bounces anywhere except directly at our end zone, we were already in field goal range. That’s football though.

- We just don’t get opportunities like that very much. I’m not sure that game changes much about our outlook. Georgia was sleep walking, especially on offense. Don’t think we’re going to have teams overlooking us much going forward.
