Nobody is operating under any self delusions here. This isn't a top tier team, it's very flawed. But for once the guys came out and punched somebody in the mouth in the first quarter, and except for about a 10 minute stretch in the middle of the game, there was virtually no anxiety because the game was for all intents and purposes OVER. That's a change from what we normally get to watch. By your comment, you're ALREADY looking forward to our next loss. I'm simply talking about THIS game.
We’ve been down this road before, we have all seen potentially great seasons end up good but disappointing seasons. It leaves a really empty feeling.
I was one of the most vociferous Stoops critics in the first 4 years of his tenure here.
A lot on here like taking passive agressive shots at everybody and like reminding everybody that because they don’t get upset they are better. Of course there are levels and some do take it to far but the complaining about other people getting upset and having actual expectations for Kentucky is funny, let’s people fan the way they want to, if you don’t want to get upset then that’s fine, if people expect maybe a little bit better play that’s fine also
I think you misunderstood what I said. I know Vandy is the worst team in the East. I’m saying they are arguably better than Charlotte, UTSA, and UAB.
There are absolutely levels but Kentucky is to the point now where we can have some expectations for them, the first 3 games Kentucky was good, then won but left a lot more to be desired. The 2nd and 3rd quarter yesterday was bad. Fans should be upset at how they played those 2 quarters. Now I will agree some definitely take it to far, I do it, but I own up to it everytime, but there’s a group on here that love taking passive aggressive shots at me and other on here because we don’t like the play sometimes

Possibly, depends on who they hire, we could get one better than him or one worse.
Good post, but I prefer to call it mitch's infamously being given credit for the flood of money from the other SEC ADs who did support football, which saved our program from declaring bankruptcy. Although the TWO two win seasons AND the five years in a row with no bowl game did make us have to BORROW the money for the long overdue and NECESSARY facilities improvements. And if you don't like my opinion just don't reply unless you can refute any of the facts that ruined our football program. Much credit for the flood of money from the OTHER programs that were responsible for saving our program.
We were so far in the hole on talent and facilities when he took over that no one would have done better. Any established coach capable of a miracle the first three years had enough sense to laugh at any offer from UK, why ruin your career. But I do think that our in state QB prospect that got injured was primarily responsible for the TEN four star prospects he brought in with him his first year, when the occasional three was our best before then, and that saved Stoops job. Nah, probably not, who else would have wanted it with our AD. Too bad his injury ruined his chance to be our hero, I hope he still gets thanks for what he did, no matter where he is now.
I mean seriously, just no. There is a very small fragment of the fanbase you are describing but nowhere near the Vibe of this board. Aside from a few posters here most were just hoping to see a little more consistent play before heading into the meat of the schedule. Only thing I agreed with you about is playing to their level of competition which is a stoops staple.
Well you are in a thread that was started to whine about posters on the board whining about our play. Some is a very subjective term to use.
