UK at one time could only recruit Kentucky kids I think , but that was a long time ago. Go out 500 miles.
I Have to Give Credit to All the Negative Posters!!

You're moving the goalposts. I simply answered your absurd question. You tried to dismiss my evidence. Logical fallacy, bruh.
-uk does...and Ohio helps. But if you go 500 miles from Oxford the AA population % is significantly greater than 500 miles from Lexington. Is what it is.
^also, the further you get away from campus the competition increases.
Why do people keep ignoring the Missouri uga game from 2022? Missouri played Georgia much closer than UK did last season.
Again, otherwise I agree. Lol promise I'm not picking at u.
And yeah, beating lsu 42 to 21 a mere 2 years ago is not a game UK fans should claim to not remember.
Then you should probably take a break and come back more prepared.
-I'm good, friend. A minor error does not alter the correctness of my position. Appreciate your concern.
And also inherited a crippling probation. Looking back, it’s kind of amazing what Brooks did at UK. And that’s when Florida was rolling just like Georgia is now. He had the biggest win of my lifetime if a fan of over 40 years… LSU 2007
And he did it with terrible facilities.
Oh you’re talking about the 6-7 LSU team who fired their head coach like in the middle of the season? Don’t hold back on me now, let’s state all the facts and look at the whole picture. You c’mon man!
Not sure if totally correct, but I think Schnellenburger said that half the population of the US is within 500 miles of Lexington. I stand to be corrected.
-be miserable if you wanna be miserable. Ignore the positive and focus on the negative.
^on that note I'm gonna refrain from clicking on "show ignored content"... go cats.

Sorry but how is saying the team has played rather poorly all year crying? Only harsh criticism I have given out (if you even consider this harsh) has been toward stoops and his ultra conservative coaching style.
I'm with you here. I'm not an advocate of firing stoops or anything such. It's also ok to say it feels like we're stuck. But I also don't go along with the hyperbole gang that he's unduplicateable either.
Case in point, Kyle Tucker tweets that Ky had gone to 8 bowls between 85-2015...three of those seasons we didn't belong to Stoops in the math... but stoops has gone to 8 in a row. Going to 8 bowls in a row IS some degree of accomplishment but it is a misleading piece of info. in 1985, only 3 SEC teams made a bowl UGA, Bama, Auburn...1/3 of the league. There are now over 40 bowls and last season, 11 of 14 SEC teams went to a bowl where they are largely pre-contracted out as long as you get to 6 wins. In 06 when everybody went to 12 games we kicked off Indiana to have this low bar model to get to 6 so we get a bowl. To compare this current achievement to 1985 or honestly til 2006 where this new everybody gets into a bowl model began, it is hyperbole. Since 06 we've been to a bowl all but 5 seasons....3 of those with stoops.
The strongest argument for Stoops is his conference record. He has had 4 seasons of .500+ SEC football. Mumme had that in 2 of his 4 seasons although his end was disastrous and Brooks got one of those seasons in as he got things rebuilt. In fairness to Brooks, the conference slate he competed against was unquestionably superior to what stoops has faced and with few program tools to compete with on the recruiting trail. Stoops is a 'solid' coach, he's not Bear Bryant. We have adequate resources to compete now so it should come as no surprise that we compete better.
All to the benefit of my near-illiterate critics!
Juxtaposing me with Homer . . . I’m not quite pompous enough ass to have done that, but thanks!!!!!

You can’t be serious.
When Stoops arrived we had a one win advantage over Vanderbilt in twelve decades of competition.
We had (and still have) a one-loss disadvantage against IU in more than 30 games played.
Vandy and IU are two of only three P5 programs with nary a 10 win season in their history.
When Stoops arrived programs named Kansas, Rutgers, Virginia, Illinois, Duke, Wake Forest, Oregon State, Washington State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Mizzou and 51 other traditional P5 programs had won 10 or more games in a season since we last had in 1977.
We have scraped the bottom of the “Majors,” and P5 football for a decade longer than Stoops has lived!
Mizzou and Ole Miss have had far more success the 65 years prior to Stoops arrival.

Why are you yelling? Do you have a disproportionately inflated view of your own opinion?
Yes!
But especially of the primacy of the numbers!
And “yelling,” is typically ALL CAPS!
Well, to be fair, I always thought Homer overrated. He literally had no competition! But, he was blind.
Well done BBN! Please whine with reckless abandon this week as well.
I've got my 2 tix for sale for the Bama game if you know anyone looking -- less than you can buy elsewhere
Bro, you got a Blue a lot Pass?
I’m phoning a friend for you!!
[He d/n need extra Bama tics, but is jonesing for a Blue Lot pass!]
Below seat geek and TM pricing .. SECTION 227 Row 13 , seats 17 and 18 . my regular season tix , cant make game , will take 100 apiece , firm
Just can't understand all the negative posters. I mean just look at this wonderful performance today....
Yah, no reason to be negative with this great coaching staff. They are extremely under paid.
Convinced Yet...it's about OFFENSE folks. We've been outscored 211-83 in our 4 losses. Wake the hell up!
How is that Miss State win looking now? Texas A&M beat the same team 51-10 yesterday and then fired their coach.
Your math is off. Opponents scored 171, not 211, and we scored 82, not 83. Regardless, I'd say the issue is giving up an average of OVER 42 POINTS PER GAME in our losses. If it's all about offense, then tell me why by doubling our points scored, we'd still have collectively fewer points across all 4 games than our opponents, 171-164?
I like Hack, but his smarm with this thread isn't aging too well.
That 2007 Rich Brooks team had 14 players that made an NFL roster.
Most of them were starters who played multiple years in the NFL.
All were DEVELOPED by RB and staff. No superstar recruits. Especially, no 5 star recruits.
CMS does not compare to RB in game preparation, player discipline, game management, situational awareness, clock management, or the ability to motivate his team and have them ready to play from the opening kickoff until the horn sounds to end the game.
No comparison.

You just didn’t expect and desire it enough from your Catbird Seat in Pensacola!!
Imagine if CRB and his staff could have gotten the financial support this one does!
I don't know where you are just getting a third but half the SEC went to a bowl of the 18 bowls that were in existence in 1985.
LSU- Liberty Bowl
Georgia- Sun Bowl
Alabama- Aloha Bowl
Auburn Cotton Bowl
Tennessee-Sugar Bowl
And five went the year before (incl. UK) and six went the year after. We could not finish in the top half of the league to save our life plus there was only six SEC games and we weren't exactly competitive in our non-conference games either. In modern football I can only think of four seasons before Stoops where we even qualified from a wins standpoint but got no bowl invite and (1977 and 2002) were because of probation and Claiborne had a 6-5 and a 5-5-1 that did not get a bowl invite.. So I consider 8 straight bowls to be a pretty significant achievement.
All that being said, I'm not happy with the way this season and last have gone and I feel like we're at some sort of crossroads. I'm not ready to say it's time to move on but it's gotten a little stale and I worry about our identity going from emphasizing toughness and physicality is morphing into trash talking and lack of discipline and players that.don't know the difference.
Yeah, he was a great coach and better guy imo, the guy deserved more support but made the most out of what he had. My conspiracy theory is he handed the program over to Joker knowing it would tank therefore forcing the admin to actually invest in the program. Sounds dumb and I say a lot of dumb things but that was definitely the lowest point of modern UK football. “Call me when we’re 2-10” is painted on the side of my barn.
Dude, we're GOING BOWLING!!!!1!!!1!!!eleven!!!1!1!
Dude was gloating about spanking a horrible Mississippi State team lol. Is he going to gloat now, though?
