Should Be 9-1

[CHAMPCAT11]

Because this team isn't as bad as you say and we can (can) play with anyone with our A game. You act like this is going to be Joker-like 63-10 or something. It won't be. Stoops since he got things going rarely suffers "epic beat downs." You're just trying to set yourself up to be pleasantly surprised if we give them a game

I want to look back at your post on Saturday. I ‘think’ this team ‘is’ as bad as I say and Georgia could easily beat us 63-10 if Kirby Smart was an ass hole like Spurrier used to be. He’ll probably play very vanilla and slow because he’s in the playoffs and don’t want to take any chances on a freak accident. That will keep the score respectable. You’re also telling me what I’m doing and you’re wrong. I’ll be tailgating as usual but I won’t go into the stadium since I can watch it on TV and stay warm. Sure I want to win but that ship has sailed so I’ll just SMH at the train wreck if it’s as bad as I expect. Not sure if I’ll go to the UL game but they are playing better than us right now and our guys have thrown in the towel. You can keep on dreaming if you wish. That’s your business.

No they couldn't "easily beat us 63-10." Stop being ridiculous. It was easily 63-10 when we had OVC instead of SEC talent. If this team hasn't just packed it in, they can compete

 

[GADAWGinIraq]

I didn't say they weren't "that good." They haven't always been that impressive. You all act like they're the 85 Bears

To be fair, we give up less points per game and score more points per game than the 85 Bears.

 

[Edgarman]

Yup, with any semblance of a real offense and solid special teams we would easily be 9-1. Unfortunately we have Scangarello and don't seen to be interested in coaching up special teams.

Why do we start this shit of we should be 9 - 1. We are 6 - 4 and about to go 6 - 5. What good does it do us to discuss what we should be vs what we are. We are a crappy football team. not a crappy program but we have been our own worse enemy. Why don't you say we should be 10 - 0? if you are going to go crazy why not 10 wins. Who are you saying we should have lost to. Dumbest post i have ever read.

Good / fair point.

Good / fair point. RogCat doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. You guys are a fantastic team and handle yourself as such. I would love for the fluke of all flukes to happen and see us upset you but I think you guys can play 5 on 11 and still beat us. Our players have packed it in. I WILL say this.. GA fans are usually fairly classy. If y’all come to this board after the beat down and talk stupid sh*t like UT fans that’ll be total garbage. Absolutely no need to pile on when we’re down. We ‘should’ be very strong come bball season and hopefully have a chance for a special season. That will take some sting out of our lackluster football team.

We haven’t played our A game one time this season. We have regressed every game. The players have quit on doughboy Stoops. Ga will beat us like a rented mule. I wonder what some of you have been watching.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

This kind of thread always amazes me. Could have also lost a couple of games we won. Cuts both ways. We are what we are.

This is the correct answer. We are far away from a 9-1 team in the SEC. We could have lost a few more.

This team has no business thinking they could be 9-1. No way. Not with this offense, kicking game and no special teams coach. It is foolish to think that way.

 

[mrschwump]

Don't know about 9-1 but they could be sitting here 8-2 if not for a couple of penalties, motion at Ole Miss that cost winning TD and phantom hand to face vs Vandy(Oxendine did have a glancing blow to their OL head but it was less than a second and he got no advantage while Rybka had his helmet ripped off with no call). I'm sure about everybody can look back on a game and see a play that could've cost a loss or contribute to a win. Claiborne called it "the old iffin' game."

I’ve been watching what you have and you’re 100% correct. Good post.

it wasn’t a phantom hands to the face call. He pushed it and kept pushing it till he ripped the helmet off. You’re right … he got no advantage so he was just bone headed to do something that stupid. I will agree with you about Rybka … that was BS. UK is a bad football team at this point. We’re also only given a 48% chance to beat UL now (at home). Let that sink in.

What "few more"?

Not only was the hands to the face call the right call (and believe me it KILLS ME that happened as I was already celebrating the W after the pick before I noticed the flag ...), but the truth is you just can't let a game at home against Vandy come down to one call. If you're up a couple touchdowns at that point like you absoutely should be, one call does NOT cost you the game. You can't let yourself get in a position where one or two calls can affect the outcome of a game against a team you are favored to beat by 18 points. jmho

Never said they weren't a bad team, they clearly are. As for that 48% U6 thingy...we'll see how that holds up. U6 has the advantages at this point other than the game at CWS...but after embarrassing showings vs SCAR/Vandy at home I see no real advantage for UK. UK has a "kick their ass" winning streak vs U6, something the national sports media ignores, Time's running out for UK to play a good game, haven't come close yet.

 

[sluggercatfan]

But for a fluke at Ole Miss, a stubbed toe against SC and a fluke game vs VU. Much closer to 9-1 than done want to believe

Also, a Godsend penalty from being 5-5.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Yes and with all that still should be 9-1. We are by far the best 4 loss team in America and it ain't close. None of them should be 9-1

Do realize we just lost to a horrible team that had lost 26 straight conference Games and was last in the country in pass defense.

Agree with everything you said. You’re absolutely spot on.

And your humble opinion is absolutely correct. This offensive philosophy of of the HC is a bigger joke every day.

Yeah GA has just been stupid the last few years. Probably gonna be the repeat champs congrats in advance! Wish we played to close to our ability this year, last few years I expected to compete regardless of what the score board said this year not so much. I do not expect to score in this game and last few I figured we may have had a chance to upend the dawgs. This year I’m expecting GA to cover and make me some $$$$ at least.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

No, we are 6 and 4 and that is what we should be.

 

[mrschwump]

Not sure people realize if it wasn't for a generous amount of luck TN could be sitting here with 4 losses. Beat an ordinary Pitt team in OT after Pitt's QB was injured, beat UF on a last second INT despite giving up 500+ total yards to AR 15, beat Bama thanks to an inordinate number of penalties on Bama but more so when Bama's kicker, all-time leading kicking scorer, misses a long FG from a distance he had made numerous times in his career, then TN's kicker has his kick partially blocked but it somehow has enough momentum to get over the crossbar, and of course their loss to GA. Shit happens, just seems it happens more to UK than others.

 

[STL_Cat]

You are what you record says you are. End of conversation.

 

[NoDef]

If we are a 9-1 caliber team, then our schedule is one of the worst in the nation. 9-1 team's shouldn't be terrible offensively and on special teams.

 

[Madcat62]

do you really think this team should be 9-1 no way, this team is just
a really bad offense team and top that off with STs not even close.

 

[RogCat1119]

Ok then let's say 8-2. Better?
