This game was a LOSS when Stoops chose it….

[HYTCHYE ISLAND]

No one I know or have spoken with was excited when Stoops announced we were going to Nashville to face the same damn team we played last year. Now don’t get me wrong, Levis and CRod opting out killed us but there was NEVER any excitement for this boring ass lame duck game! And btw, opting out is still a bitch move! Jmo.

He chose it? Yeah why didn't he choose the sugar bowl and choose ohio state. Is that how it works?

 

[HYTCHYE ISLAND]

The point is he had options…..wise guy

Stoops knew they were gonna lose. He wanted less eyes on this game. Brilliant choice IMO.

I think Stoops just wanted to play at the same time as the bball team. He’s still but hurt about the basketball school comment

Didn’t Iowa play the same team too

What options was he given?

What options was he given?

Probably Vegas, Liberty, and Texas. Am not 100% sure.

He had an option of at least three bowls. Most likely four. All would have been much better match-ups for us, even Oregon State.

Gasparilla was ours for the taking too.

This game was most likely a loss as soon as it was announced. The offense was that bad this year and no Levis or CRod today.

No reason to overthink it. Without those two UK wasn’t wining many (any?) bowls against P5 teams with 7 plus wins. One reason I wanted Vegas is I thought they could at least match up a bit better vs 3rd-5th best PAC12 team.

Probably is not the same as he choose this game over other alternatives. I doubt very seriously if UK was given a variety of games from which to choose.

Wild…this article say the conference gets the choice in conjunction with the Bowls and the school….but go off I guess
