That stat is as good as saying that Stoops is the winningest coach in UK history. Great we have a bowl streak. Except for the Citrus Bowl, the bowls are meaningless lower level games. As I said, he has been here long enough that we should be going to higher level games every year.
Is all forgiven if Stoops and UK go into Texas and dehorn the #3 Longhorns?

- Start date
NO ABSOLOTLY NOT.....If we're good enough to beat Texas at Texas. Then the losses to Auburn & Vanderbilt are inexcusable. Stoops should have had the team ready for these 2 games that we lost.
It should be, yes, when you pay the coach 9 million a year and invest 100s of millions into the football program
I’ve been as positive for Stoops as has anyone. Search my posting history the last 4 years if you are new to the Board.
I will not stop going to games to send a “message” as every dollar counts BIG in this new age of revenue sharing and NIL.
Stoops gave us a couple of ten win seasons and a sunburn on a couple of New Year’s Days . . . more than Claiborne or Brooks accomplished, but there is simply something now missing.
He’ll get 2025. With the huge buyout, and revenue sharing looming, that is a given. But 2025 will be the measure of whether the stumbles of the three prior seasons can be forgiven or forgotten.

We lose alot man. Not sure how next season is a good barometer on the status of Stoops
Got to give him a few more seasons.
He’s earned it.
Sorry
Well, did you notice late in the second half against Murray State how MASSIVE the defensive youngsters with hardly recognizable numbers were? I didn’t track who played, but we have a LOT of young talent on the team, including QB Boley and young WR’s who stood out.
I just don’t want to see us start and maintain a multi-year slide. Arguably, this is our third season of just that, and a fourth will cost us a lot of fans and support at just the wrong time.
Stoops will get 2025. God knows, I hope he can re-capture whatever magic was possessed by those 3 Star loaded teams of the past.
Frankly, I hope so!!
Without regard to Stoops’ status, it would give me great pleasure to ruin Texas’s season and (once again) show the world the actual depth of talent and competitiveness of SEC football. Oklahoma and Texas were given easy paths their first seasons. Oklahoma has shat the bed. I hope Texas does Saturday.
Michigan, Vandy and OK are all nothing special. Those are Texas’ best wins.
I smell an upset Sat.
They will over look us as we are a trap gm with at Texas AM coming up for Texas.
Would a win at #3 Texas be the greatest win in UK football history?
I think it would and if we beat U of L in the Bluegrass next weekend and win a bowl game Stoops will not only garner a lifetime contract but UK will build his statue on Campus in front of Commonwealth Stadium and most of you guys will be zipped up forever.
Texas has zero wins over the current top 25.
Kentucky has 1 at #9 Ole Miss. there!!
Anyone that doesn't think we can win Sat is just not doing their homework.
Has UK “ever” won 2 road games over two top 9 teams in the same season?
I bet it would be another 1st for UK and the Stoopster!

Our guys COULD make this a fairly competitive game if they go in with a mindset of putting a physical beating on them the whole game and whatever happens, happens. That goes for the OL also. This team is a level down from the mental toughness it should have.
It will be more competitive than people think but UK won't win. Teams are getting banged up this part of the season and just want to get out of the game with a W. UK just played a cupcake and had a bye week. They should be fresh compared to Texas who just played Arkansas last week.
