I think its fair to predict that UK rolls into Athens 5-0 and ranked in the top 20

[HerrosHeroes]

But does that help our chances of beating Jawja?

Just how big of an upset would we be talking here?

I think it would be the greatest win in UK football history and would “cat”apult Kentucky into the top 5 nationally.

I love your optimism but I will need a bunch more years before I take a Florida win for granted. That streak has 90% of our fan base suffering from PTSD.

Yeah well UK has won 3 of the last 4, the game is in the Bluegrass and UF is not ranked preseason.
UK will most certainly be favored.

I would think UF is the biggest roadblock of UK being 5-0. Reading the UF website they are expecting a big season, claiming 9-3 is their floor and a win over UK is a lock. I think they are closer to 3-9. They open with a preseason Top 10 team, Utah, who will likely be missing its QB and very good TE. A video of UF's practice is floating around with their new DC, the DL are all 75lb overweight with big bellies hanging over their belts, they going to wilt in the altitude of UTAH. But if the can pull off a win, they are going to be quite a bit better than I thought.

Now about coming in to Athens 5-0, of course UK can win, UK is good and very physical. But this is Kirby's best offensive team. Beck is bigger, better arm, quicker release, but his question marks are can he get into the right play pre snap and be as effective on 3rd down. It will be an upper class offense at every position, 5 receivers with 500+ yards and 3 backs who scored in NC game. Defense will be like the last few, deep, very fast, good tacklers will play lots of kids, near 30 on defensive rotarion.

So basically Grump you are telling me I have a better shot with Megan Fox than UK going inbetween the hedges and upsetting the back to back national champs? Thx; got it and thats about what I figured.

Hate when fans say this. We have zero to do with the outcome of the game. We can look ahead all we want.

So? We can look at football as a strategic competitive sport, or we can look at football as a Saturday beer party with a 22 man wrestling match. To me, the mental part of football and the competence of our coaching staff are of primary interest, because they make the difference between winning and losing. So please look ahead all you want. Who cares? I am a good deal more interesed in how our coaches think and strategize than in how you entertain yourself. I have as much right to my point of view as you have, and I don't have much sympathy left for the angry antagonistic posters on the board.

In your case, a thorough "salad tossing" behind the hedges with RuPaul, is much more likely.....

 

[vhcat70]

Our early record and thus expectations are near-invariably inflated by playing weaklings upfront. Want to know truth early? Play LV or even a SEC game in first two. But inflated record pumps interest & sells tickets.

Good God. Who pissed in your cheerios? Chill out. I stated facts. I have zero problems with you, like your posts but kick rocks if your going to attack me like that.

That's phoney. You dish it out pretty good, so get used to direct responses from objects of your manufactured criticisms.

Mods: what? So now I can’t post? What exactly did I do wrong?

 

[Rembrandt90]

Huh? Alright. F it.

Ol soft ass.

You must be tons of fun at home.

As usual, people who don't have a substantive case always get more nasty and more personal. You started this, so don't be surprised when your nastiness provokes a direct response.

Look man, don’t know what your deal is. Probably an older gentlemen and that’s great. I don’t think I’ve ever said a single word to you. Not sure if you have me mixed up with someone else but you obviously have a problem with me and that’s your right. We can end this here.

 

[Grumpyolddawg]

No, I was trying to pay UK a compliment as being one of the top 5'6 teams in the SEC. All of those are capable of beating each other. But you seem to disagree, where to you think UK falls?

Agism now? LOL! Myself, I didn't have a problem with you prior to this thread. It takes a serious effort to provoke me. But I have noted before that you are often nasty to others, and I have lost my patience with unprovoked antagonism and personal insults on the board.

Say that again, and again and again. Lol. What STREAk. !!!!!

Kentucky football doesn’t have the luxury to assume wins as a program. They are still a win then brag program. Vandy is better as a program and is not a pushover and Florida is still Florida and has loads of talent. So Kentucky can’t assume 2 wins in those games

If we are being honest about it, no program does.

He just said he hates it when people post that. He didn’t attack you or anything. That’s not Really Starting Something. I’ve been trying to chill people out lately. Seems we r all attacking each other. Our fan base is better than that. GBB.

Yes, I have been a Dick previously. Apparently you haven’t noticed but I’ve tried and successfully calmed down a lot and intentionally not get into with people and that’s been successful. Do you, guy.

That dude isn’t even a real UK fan.

Agree. Only 3-4 programs can do that. UGA, bama, OSU, clemson and maybe Michigan

Thank you. Didn’t think I did a dang thing wrong but I’m tired of all of the negativity. I know these people wouldn’t act like that in person.

Also, absolutely cannot wait for football and it’s soooo damn close! Ahhhhhh

 

[SosaUK1987]

Yessir.

Who HH?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

We should be 5-0 but at vandy and Florida could be losses if we don't play well.

 

[Bluesbrother]

Spot on ... absolutely correct. Fans can look ahead. I just hope the team doesn't do the same. Their best approach is to take it "one game at a time'.

I hear you on both subjects my man!! I have been attacked as well on here. I also can’t Wait to see this team in action.

First I want you to be sure to know I don't think Vandy is going to beat UK. But I think their coach is doing a good job and the best they have had since Franklin. He is a Vandy alumni and wants to be there and for Vandy is bringing in a good class. Unlike Franlin, he is likeable.

Yeah, I agree, I think Kentucky will win. But Kentucky can’t do to Nashville and win by
20 anymore they will have to earn it

All correct IMO.

It's an SEC road game. After last year, anyone who doesn't understand Clark Lea is a legitimate SEC football coach didn't understand what they watched. I respect all SEC football teams. As long as we win the game in Nashville, as long as Ray Davis is satisfied, and as long as Leary, Walker, Weaver, Wallace, and Jackson don't get hurt, it won't matter to me what the score is as long as it's a W for us.

That's the spirit, brother. Can't live in the past, particularly presented with recent history like that. Did I just contradict myself?

Yeah, he is the biggest troll on the board. I thought all the regulars knew he wasn't a UK fan.

Agree Grumpy. Franklin is/was trash. He was at Vandy at the right time. Coach Lea is a good guy. I wish him well - he caught UK at the right time last year and I'm glad it helped him. UK can never assume it is going to beat anyone - but our roster is much improved over the last decade and our coaching staff will match most teams now. It's the best the program has been in my adult lifetime - or over the last 50 plus year - lol!

Go Big Blue!
