It’s awfully early for the season to be over

…but it sure seems like we are destined to take Vandy’s position as cellar dweller in the SEC. Never felt like giving up on the season after week 2, but I’m considering throwing in the towel to save myself the pain. I have no faith in CMS to be able to turn this around, and our schedule is so hard it won’t really matter anyway. Wow, I can’t believe how bad we looked today. I’m sure I’ll keep watching, but today utterly deflated me.

The defense can be better.
Pretty good first half. Looked good last week.

I don't have faith in offense. Just putrid beginning to end.
Especially Hamdan. Terrible strategy both weeks.
We can only run, and everybody but him knows it.
And we can't do that all game.
He doesn't know how to fix the rest.

Bring back Gran, maybe we can get 6 wins. (Kidding, but not)
 
I wish I could be like you. I always drink the cool aid and overreact.

I thought we would win today but even factoring that in I had predicted 7 and 5. This team has no shot against uga, at ole miss, at texas or any UT with a pulse in Knoxville. I suppose they can still go 7 and 5 but offense has to get right asap to have any chance of beating Florida, vandy, auburn and Louisville.

I’m done blaming offensive coordinators. We’ve had the same results pretty much every year under CMS with basically a new OC each year.

Yes, same results every year. 7 to 10 wins. And as long as that happens, he can scapegoat 100 offensive coordinators for all I care. I want wins, he brings wins. He fires coordinators, who gives a shit.

This is true. I’ve never been in the “Stoops meddles in the offense” crowd. Regardless,
that side of the ball has always had problems and at this point it is what it is.

Those days are done unfortunately. Stoops won’t beat UT again and won’t ever beat UGA. Throw in the other couple top 10-15 ranked teams we will have every year and the ceiling if we get lucky is 8-4 on a good year.

Not saying that’s something that Uk fans should scoff at but the floor has lowered to 5 wins too. Then I guess you have to ask if Stoops is earning his salary for that output.
 
Literally no one loves mediocrity. It’s like that old saying, wish in one hand and shit in the other. See which one fills up first
And there you are, I knew that mentioning the obvious mediocrity of marks stoops and his lovers would bring out those most offended by it.

And those teams you mentioned are going to light our ass up like a Christmas tree. It's going to be BAD.

You’re a dreamer man. In a way I admire it.

No one wants to accept mediocrity. Literally no one. No UK fan is happy right now and the team sucks. Yet you’re here trying to accuse people of “loving” it. That’s nonsense.

No one wants to accept it yet you do. Do you still believe that Stoops is the best we can do or have you changed that just maybe there is coach out there for less than $9 million a year that could not embarrass the program in year 12?

How do you propose we get him?

Yea, it's hard to come back from this. There are now MANY auto losses on the schedule (UT, UT, UGA, OM) and we'll be solid dogs to UF, AU, UL. I have to think that 4-8 is the most likely outcome at this point.
 
Nope. I’m asking how you propose we make that change.
We honestly can’t make a change, the money is too much and we are stuck with stoops and his mediocre mindset for the next few years. The reality is getting past what we are gonna see over the next weeks and years will take a long time to recover from.
 
Like Matt said on the post game show beat Georgia and this game is forgotten

Maybe Matt thinks we are playing Georgia State next weekend and not Georgia. What a goober. Best case for next weekend is Georgia already thinks they are on a bye and onlu beats UK by like 10 to 14 like in 2022. Moral victory for the sunshine pumper moron segment of the fanbase.

Yeah, let's hope we do that.

And, even in the fantasy world where it happens, this debacle is NOT forgotten, because a win against Georgia would usually mean a chance for a really special season, and today's debacle would STILL put a damper on that.

Exactly. So this isn’t about accepting mediocrity. This is about accepting reality.

Mitch wouldn’t pay 30 mil to drop cal but folks think he’s gonna pay 40 mil to drop stoops? Each and every person who says that Mitch should “fire stoops at halftime” is an idiot. Best hope is that stoops moves on his own.

0 fans in the stands and it will force him to figure something out. The university should sue mitch b. for gross negligence and incompetence

It is not over but it may get ugly next week with Georgia. Ole Miss, Candy, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and Louisville probably won'tbe pretty either. all we have left is HOPE. I hope hope has not left Lexington.
 
Good luck with that. GA will be name the score.

But even if they keep it respectable, it doesn't matter. You had to have this game today. Lose today you are square in the bottom 3 teams, unless you pull a major upset.
We will be bottom 3 teams as long as we have Stoops. 11 year track record with losing SEC record. Sad we accept this. $40 Million would be a bargin to get rid of our coaching staff.

Could he do like his brother Bob and quit before he gets much older? Mark is 57 right? With all of his complaining about NIL and needing fans to "Pony Up More", could the stress from his lack of success this season be enough for him to hang it up???

It BLOWS MY MIND how he can't even fire up his MOST talented team to beat a MEDIOCRE South Carolina team with a coach that has rubbed Coach Stoops nose in it for the last 3 seasons ever since those "Culture" comments. Now it looks like Coach Stoops "Culture" is LOSING to inferior teams!!! And today he didn't just lose, he got EMBARRASED!!!

SAD
 
Maybe we will get lucky like UL did with Satterfield and some dumb team will come try to poach him.

The way this season is headed he is going to have an even harder time with NIL. Maybe that pushes him to reconsider. How much money is worth being miserable when you already have so much money?

Barring something crazy it’s only going downhill for Stoops from here. Best case is probably 6-6 and losing all of your talent off the roster at the end of the year.

Texas = UT
Tennessee = UTjr
