Louisville got a few votes in AP Poll.

Haha dude I'm not saying they beat us . We will beat them, Stops has their number . To always make fun of their schedule when it's ranked higher than our is laughable

When Pitino was in the Big East and ACC he always had a way tougher schedule than us and Cal beat his ass yearly , it doesn't matter . But to act like their schedule is a joke just makes people look ignorant as hell.
You're an idiot if you actually think the sos fpi rankings are in any way accurate. It has been proven year after year that the acc is not far weaker than the sec. They have one good team, that could be a title contender. Sec has 3 or more most years. There literally only 1 team in the acc that UK could not beat this year. 1 acc is over hyped, over ranked, and unimpressive. I watch a lot of football. Acc is 4th beat p5 conf this year. Can't remember how long it's been since they were better than 4th best

Our record would be the same or slightly better as it is now if we played Louisvilles schedule. We would beat BC. Like I said the good teams we play we get smacked by and our OOC schedule is a joke !
 
Not sure I would be bragging about the recruiting success at this point in time. Rivals has UK 51st best class & 247 has UK at 48 while Louisville is in the Top 20 on both sites.
A@M has shown that buying players is not like recruiting players. Those that can be bought are well people that can be bought. U of L is NOT recruiting. They are buying. Those are weak minded lazy players. NIL will destroy many NFL Dreams. 18 year olds with a million in the bank ain’t listening to jack shit.
 
I wish we'd buy some players and so do you whether you admit it or not . You either play the game or get left behind, simple as that
That’s why I believe this will be my last college season. With the cheating, NIL arms race and coaches 100 million salaries it’s just not fun anymore. It’s just a microcosm of what’s happening to our country. Those with morals that play by the rules are left in the dust. Cheat,lie,steal. Anything to win. Can’t trade a scholarship for playing. That’s illegal. Can’t tell anyone anything. But I digress.

I agree with all of that , but it is where we are currently, unfortunately.
 
Cunningham has great individual numbers, but why shouldn’t he, he’s been there for 15 years! But he just doesn’t show up in big games. Plus, I think his record as a starter is around 50%. He’s overrated. Cares more about himself than his team. We’ll own them as usual. That said….next game is Vandy…focus needs to be there….one game at a time please!!

As I said a year ago just sits back and watch this sentiment slowly build as the structure of COLLEGE athletics slowly deteriorates. Those rooting and clamoring for us to join the fray are just rooting to speed up the end of the sport as we know it anyway. I've got no interest in investing fandom in a chaotic semi pro league that has nothing to do anymore with my school. Even if you have success, what are you taking pride in?

His name should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Lamar Jackson. It is bizarre how that happens so often. Malik will not even play one snap in the league

Wow

How many of those will suit up in two weeks?

You might want to check those averages the last 5 recruiting years.

As J recall, UK fields 28 former 4/5 Stars. And Louisville, maybe 5?

Let's see how the ACC fares.

Going by the AP poll, the SEC has #1 Georgia, #5 Tennessee, #7 LSU, #10 Alabama, #11 Ole Miss, Kentucky (61 votes), MSU (8 votes), South Carolina (6 votes), Florida, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Auburn, Missouri, Vanderbilt

Best West OOC wins: Texas (Alabama), Troy (Ole Miss), New Mexico (LSU), Memphis (MSU), Cincinnati (Arkansas), Miami-FL (Texas A&M), San Jose State (Auburn)

Best East OOC wins: Oregon (Georgia), Pittsburgh (Tennessee), Miami-Ohio (Kentucky), Georgia State (South Carolina), Utah (Florida), Louisiana Tech (Missouri), Northern Illinois (Vanderbilt)

vs

ACC
#12 Clemson, #15 North Carolina, #17 North Carolina State, #25 Florida State, Wake Forest (34 votes), Louisville (3 votes), Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Duke, Virginia, Miami-FL, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Boston College

Best wins: ACC Atlantic
Louisiana Tech (Clemson), Texas Tech (North Carolina State), LSU (Florida State), Liberty (Wake Forest), UCF (Louisville), Purdue (Syracuse), Maine (Boston College)

Best wins: ACC Coastal
App State (North Carolina), West Virginia (Pittsburgh), Northwestern (Duke), Old Dominion (Virginia), Southern Miss (Miami-FL), Western Carolina (Georgia Tech), Wolford (Virginia Tech)

That would be:
SECACC
5 ranked teams (3 in the top 10)4 ranked teams
3 teams receiving votes2 teams receiving votes
Best wins: #6 Oregon #13 Utah #18 TexasBest wins: #7 LSU #19 Liberty #22 UCF
Best wins contd: Cincinnati (74 votes) Troy (5 votes)

I'm sure these data points are closer than many UK fans would expect. No need to denigrate either conference. The SEC is clearly at the top but the ACC isn't that far off this year.

Pride in we spent the most money on players!!! Whoo hooo!!! You can have it.

College football and basketball athletes have been paid under the table for decades. The difference is now it's on the table and taxable.
 
Really funny watching Cunningham play. Against Clemson he was in and out as usual, always getting hurt. Looks scared to death running.

Before NIL very few players were paid. Only the monsters. Recruits mostly families were helped to get them there. We as fans just got solicited today by our University to go buy players. That’s enough for me. I’ve barely watched an NFL game after the kneeling. I will probably watch little to no college after this year. I was a season ticket holder for 20 yrs but I’m done.
