I can't stand some of your fickle fans. We're still in play for the East and Georgia doesn't look that good right now. We just lost a Top 15 SEC game ON THE ROAD and looked like the better team.Or whatever the Outback is now. UT is a must win to salvage the season and make it memorable. It’s the only path to a ny6.
How the battles of unbeatens impacted the bowl picture
Oklahoma State, Ole Miss and Clemson all won key matchups of unbeaten teams. Here's what it all means for the bowl picture.www.espn.com
I was reacting to the article. But since you mention it yeah salvage. Do expect our oline and secondary to be fixed along with our kicking game? There are too many deficiencies to overcome in order to make the sec title game. I think we have a better shot than most give us credit to beat UT but UT is surging.
Mississippi State concerns me. They can put up some serious points. I know we usually win when we play here but they don't feel like a gimme this year.
Can’t believe I’m starting to sound like HH, but here goes. We are competitive in every game, or should be, from here on out. I’ve never felt we were before, period. Will we drop one or two more? Probably, at least one. That’s still a damn good season. For anyone in the SEC not named Bama or Georgia. Can’t we just enjoy the process without trying to rush it? I don’t know, maybe I’m thinking bassakwards. But I’m still super excited with where the program is compared to where it was 5 years ago. It’s still trending upward, slowly, but upward. When it’s down trending, I’ll worry.
I’m 59, and have witnessed only two or three brief stretches of time where we were truly competitive.
Right of course. We're very competitive in the top half of the SEC. Just had one of those roof caved in/bottom fell out kind of situation. We've won a few of these type games, and have a good record in the close ones. Maybe we were due for a bit of bad luck.
We have had 12 seasons since WWII with 8 or more wins!
Exactly. These are halcyon days for UK football. It doesn't mean we don't push for more, but complaining about the Gator Bowl is idiocy.
I would have killed for a gator bowl several years ago. I’m loving me some UK football these days.
Because im honest? Dont be bitter, its called perspective.
I agree with you and apparently a lot of fans here weren't around during the Bill Curry or even Joker days when 5 wins wasn't even a reality. I remember when you went into the WKU or Vandy games worried we would lose. Are we on the level of Bama, OH St or Clemson yet? No but we are light years ahead of where we have been.
I don't see how thinking we should have beat an Ole Miss team that didn't even play that well means we are expecting UK to be Alabama.
Get out of here you. Other teams lose players all the time we have more talent than ever before the only loss we have had is JS that has not been overcome yet
Both GA and AL will have bad years. VERY, VERY SELDOM but it happens. You’re right that we’ll have a tough time doing much better than these past few years but we’ll have a chance if we keep on diggin’. BBN sure deserves it.
Until every UK fans says if we don’t beat UT then it’s someone’s fault, we will always be a also ran. Football schools in the SEC expect wins period and they blame someone. Sure it’s wrong but this is football in the South. If you don’t have great expectations for your team and quit making excuses when you lose these big games nothing will ever change.
Curry 3 up the middle and punt. He's the reason I started drinking.
Isn't it funny and unbelievable that fans are discussing in September what bowl we will go to? After all, this is Kentucky Football.
Hopefully what he's accomplished will hold steady Stoops has changed the culture UK football. My question is has he changed the perception of the job After Stoops is done will it be considered a top 20 spot.
