Kentucky Vandy Game thread

3rd down conversions was a huge stat in this game.
Vandy 11/17
Cats 4/12

Rewarded with the Music City Bowl in......Nashville. 🤣
 
Stoops has screwed the pooch. This season has destroyed everything he has been trying to build here since his arrival. I don't see him being able to recover from this. Good players are going to transfer out. No good players will want to transfer in. And no decent recruit will give him the time of day now. Whether it happens next season or in 3 seasons, I believe Stoops has all but guaranteed he will fail here. You can't regress like this at a program like Kentucky and recover from it.
 
None of Stoops bullshit after this fiasco. The program and fans deserve better. This was a coaching fiasco. Stoops has to do something other than his typical tongue flapping. This loss is not forgivable. The team basically quit. I'm absolutely embarrassed.
He needs to leave. Take another job and go. His ceiling has been achieved here.
Yeah, we get it chief.
I don't think you do

Stoops just prolapsed a ranked UK football team into one of the worst losses in program history. He's not just mediocre, this just is unforgivable. This is the beginning of the end of the Stoops era at UK.

That was coaching malpractice you just witnessed right there

99 out a hundred coaches would have Told Brown coming off the sideline to fair catch the kickoff no matter what, cause 36 seconds is enough for 6 plays to get in field goal range. Instead we run around in circles for 1/3 of that time to get the ball 2 yards farther out. Mindless

I defended this program when it was disrespected by Cal and this is what you get in return. Also, I am tired of hearing about Levis being a great QB. Instead of taking sacks, throw the darn ball in the direction of a receiver in hopes of getting PI call, but no, Levis thinks taking the sack is the smart choice. At worst case throw the darn ball away.

Please God flex us the hell out of the CBS slot next week.
Actually feel sorry for CBS having to come to UK next week to cover this mess. Said after the TN fiasco they may not win again and had it not been for a freak play at MO they wouldn't.

Changes have to be made, this is intolerable.
 
We are 3-4 vs high major teams this season with a so called first round pick QB and maybe best RB in school history. This has been a piss poor coaching effort all the way around. Once again a blocked kick cost us the game. Stoops needs to be let go after this effort

I was ticked when Cal and Stoops were griping at each other. Looks like Marrow and Stoops ran their mouth too much.
 
Okay. We’ve gone backwards. I don’t know which loss this year was the most embarrassing. This one may be it. It’s a shame though. Some great skilled players, but a really bad o line really negates all of that.

People need to stop searching for a scapegoat and blame the guy in charge. He’s had a decade to build when the East was trash. He’s now getting embarrassed by second year guys. It’s never going to be easier than what he’s had, and he still couldn’t get it done.

Take out the emotion. Be objective. If he hasn’t been able to get it done by now, why would it change now that teams in the East are finally improving. What objective reason is there to keep him?
 
He asked for that like 2 days ago and then rolls out this product. What a freaking joke. He's acting like he plans to leave and wants NIL to be the excuse.
If that's the case then don't let the door hit him in the ass on the way out. Any football program with a pulse won't put up with that. He will be back to being a coordinator.

I hope you are wrong. But cant argue w you on this.
 
Watching, you just knew Valentine was going to give up a huge play. He was more worried about running his mouth than letting his play do the talking! He was beat on 5 or 6 plays in the 4th. Vandy didn't connect on all of them but Valentine was beat, bad a couple of times.
 
When UK was struggling against their cupcake schedule, knew this wasn't a good team.

Cheerleading segment of fanbase was all bent about any criticism. Here it is. Losses at home to USCjr and Vandy. Stoops is lost this year. Hope he finds another place to play 3 yards and a cloud of dust football.

This isn’t true. One bad season doesn’t derail a program.

Stoops will be questioned though this off season and how he handles it could derail the progress

Yes, I do. As for Stoops, his ceiling probably has been reached but look at our history. I'll take Stoops over what we usually have every day. I've watched this crap since the 70's, I have no faith in finding anyone better suited for the job.

What's hard to understand about Yenser and Scang? They suck.

Maybe. No, youre probably right. But i also think vandy doesnt go deep to the rigjt if he was in there.

Or maybe they do and get a pi and not a 30 yd gain.
 
Stoops has incentives in his contract for successes. How about for shit like today? He needs to pay back some money after this debacle. Embarrassing!

That was pretty decent coverage on the deep shot. Vandy got away with the push off. Can't complain too much about that though. They kept one of our scoring drives alive on that horse collar call.
