UGA beat Vandy by 17.
We also beat Vandy by 17.
We're as good as UGA – confirmed by the transitive property.

Lol If we played on neutral field it would be more like 40-20. at Kroger? Id say even.
I'm sure it's my own fault for my phrasing but my post did not mean "convince me to be a fan again". I've been a fan my whole life and will continue to be so.
I should have said "convince me this coaching staff can ever make UK an elite football team". I just no longer believe Stoops can take UK any higher because of his coaching philosophy. I like that Stoops has clearly elevated our recruiting but I don't believe he was or is the only one that can do that; I feel the lure of the SEC has had more to do with our better recruiting.
Stoops came here seeming to have only core football philosophy...the bend but don't break defense(his offensive approach changes every year). Give up 8 yard per play on certain types of passes and if you tackle perfectly they won't get any big chuncks and will make a mistake before taking it all the way to the end zone. The problem with this approach is twefold: One, we still give up big chunks because players do make
mistakes and will continue to do so because they are human. Two, good teams with accurate qbs and smart offensive coordinators just take advantage of our defense. Nobody has convinced me yet that the way we couldn't stop Georgia at all had more to do with coaching than talent. I think a lot of coaches could hold this
Georgia team to 30 with less talent than UK.
ps: if I'd really been on a ledge I'd have surely jumped. Sometimes I forget how the internet anonymity lets out
people's id and that my fellow UK fans aren't really any better people than fans of any other teams. A couple of the comments would cause a person to get cussed out by me in real life but then the comments wouldn't happen
in real life. I'm just basing that on my own life here in Eastern Kentucky; can't remember the last time somebody was rude to me as most people in this part of the world are taught courtesy. But then they go on the internet...

Stoops' offense has been in shambles since Gran's "departure." Coen's 2021 year was good, but we got lucky with Wan'Dale and Levis. Assuming we have Coen for a few years to get his philosophy and system really engrained with the right players, I could see us getting 11 wins.
If Coen can get us good leads by the third quarter in future season's games, that lets us develop depth better than what we've been able to do so far.
I don't think we've plateaued by any means, but Stoops and Co. have their work cut out for them to get us to that next level.

Let tonight’s game be your gauge for jumping on or off. If Missouri beats us, you’ll have a lot of good company off the bus. It will be pretty much basketball season for the majority of our fans with guaranteed losses to TN and Alabama coming up.
If we lose the Championship Classic this year I may be on a self imposed sports ban for awhile.
I’d say you’re completely justified to move on now.
It's called making in-game adjustments....which we failed...
UK football had a great team in 1965, some great seniors in Norton, Bird, Ball, Kestner, Davis, etc among the seniors. Unfortunately our coach ran off most of the team and injuries killed us at the end of the season, primarily Norton at QB where we had to have a DB finish out the season. Bird was considered a #1 draft choice on BOTH offense and defense, in both the NFL and fledgling AFL, and most of the starters played both offense and defense.

Finally ... rational thought. I knew we were just as good as UGA.
