It’s too bad our Wildcats were absolutely humiliated—-that’s an understatement—-Saturday night. against our arch rival ( but since we are 4–42 in the last 46 years against them, they do not consider us a rival). I told my brother-in-law we really are not jealous of their football program at all. You can tell by the posts here.
The embarrassments were far and few between for our team and coaches. I must admit that Bru McCoy trolling Stoops ( limping like he was going to go off the field making the all-time leading Kentucky football coach in terms of (( not very many) significant ) wins substitute , and get caught with 18 men on the field, then whining and complaining to the referees that he wasn’t allowed to substitute.
Another great scene Saturday night was our # 1 in the draft quarterback, calling the team back onto the field, absolutely sure of himself that the interception he had just thrown was going to be reversed upon review…. then looking bewildered when it wasn’t . This goes along with a long storied history … an outright SEC championship in 90 years(-even then we lost to UT 7-0
.
Other schools in the SEC like Bama, LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn would have loved to have named their field after a grocery store and have it printed on the field ( since Kroger also owns Fry’s, I thought Fry’s field sounded better)
They also envy the incredibly hard nonconference schedule Kentucky always schedules. Playing at Akron in the future is the wish and desire and envy of all of those schools…our fans love Akron in the fall, and is it sure to raise our strength of schedule..
At least our all world QB , soon to be drafted number one overall in the draft, and the dream quarterback of all NFL teams , can read a defense and never throws too late like Hendon hooker ( The mayonnaise in the coffee and eating banana peels helps him do that)..
Our game day atmosphere is so much better than the University of Tennessee’s, what with our always sold out crowds in our quaint 60,000 seat stadium… Sports illustrated on campus had to be wrong when they said the best place to spend a football weekend was UT. And I hope that Kirk Herbstreit never says “little Tennessee “like he did “little Kentucky” The other night on national television. What a compliment!
Hopefully Barnhart can get ESPN game day to come here for the first time in our history the next time we play Youngstown State, Eastern KY, N. Illinois in our home opener-what with our scintillating offense ( even though it does put a sleeping man into a coma most of the time). That would go along with winning the SEC east for the first time in our history.
Those puke orange hillbillies/rubes/toothless moonshiners ( one of my UT friends asked me if that was projection…but I did not know what he meant) Said Kentucky Football was an oxymoron ( I told him I did not know what that meant either, but I took it as a compliment).
Tennessee certainly did choke baseball last year. ( I have forgotten what place our Cats came in, I was still thinking about Saint peters,). Even though Tennessee won the SEC basketball tournament, regular season and tourney in baseball , and the commissioners trophy as the best all-around sports program in the southeastern conference, it was just a fluke. All of their sports programs are on the down slide. Just look at football this year ( their recruiting is sucking wind —-they only have the number three quarterback coming in due to that dirty NIL money…..glad we don’t do that ). Who would want to play in front of 110,000 people in an atmosphere like that where you can’t even hear yourself think ?
they obviously have not been to Commonwealth when we play Bowling Green.
And basketball— Hell Tennessee only beat number one Gonzaga 98 to 80 in an exhibition last week—-it’s our birthright — Saint peters be damned.
Got to go to bed. Go Cats ! Beat Mizzou . Even though those dreaded volunteers are going to be on game day for the third time this year, I’m hoping Gameday visits Lexington for the Vandy Kentucky game …. The atmosphere should be electric… No one will be thinking about basketball when that one kicks off. The only thing that worries me is that many people in Tennessee refer to Vanderbilt as Peterbilt since they merged with Peabody College. Scares me to play in the school with the word “Peter” in it after last basketball season
One last thing: Give StlCat a 💋… I can tell that he is struggling with the anger issues and is probably emotionally stunted. I know a good therapist, because God knows he needs one.
Basketball, at least, until the NCAA tournament, should make him feel better.
