UGLY wins.

[dyersburgcatfan]

There are beatdowns, close but well played wins, and then there are ugly wins. A win is a win, but yesterday was an ugly win. 12 penalties, two missed fgs, the loooongggg snap. Just about all the bad things that could happen (although we had zero turnovers), occurred. Yet somehow the Cats win. I guess you could say Missou played an uglier game than we did, but that's debatable.

We've had a ton of ugly losses over the years, but not many wins as ugly as yesterday. Seems like no matter how badly we play against Missou, we are always in the game. I prefer games like we performed against Ms. State this year. But happy for a win of any variety.

What other ugly victories have left an imprint on your mind?

Just appreciate a win, there was a time UK would've lost that game 42-6.

Ugly wins are wins but they also tell you what is going to cause you to lose if you don’t clean it up. I think Levis is hurt and the oline is bad. Nothing to do about that except endure it and play around it as best we can. But the sloppy stupid stuff is suicidal when we are already having to play with half a deck.

 

[bthaunert]

As for the 12 penalties. Since 2016, UK is 10-0 in games where we have 10 or more penalties.

 

[TuckyFB]

I remember when Vandy came into Commonwealth Stadium and beat us 42-0 and the stadium was completely empty. I'll take an ugly win and bowl eligiblity for the 7th straight season.

That’s an interesting stat

 

[JHB4UK]

10 or more penalties- we are flying around hair on fire laying some fools out

 

[bthaunert]

Corey Price is a great follow on Twitter. He had all kinds of stats like that. I think it shows they are being aggressive and not sitting back.

Makes sense. I don’t twit so I’ll take your word. I just know I was more visibly frustrated with the penalties than Stoops.

The ugliest of all: Mizzou, 2018.

 

[dyersburgcatfan]

Most of our penalties yesterday were not the aggressive hard-hitting type. They were the kind that drive fans and coaches crazy. For example, yesterday we had Mo in a 2nd and twenty at one point and without a snap of the ball jumped offsides twice in a row. Still survived the mistakes, but still very frustrating. But we won, and that's what counts in the end.

Ugly wins are apart of stoops culture, we want to be flashy like Tennessee or Ohio st or bama, but that’s not stoops and Kentucky. He is a grind it out, fight it out type of coach

Was that the game that ended with us getting a second chance on a 2 point conversion?

Seems like games at Mizzou are always close.

We scored a td on the last play after a questionable pass interference I want to say.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

I hope we can enjoy the Vandy and UL games not having to be stressed the whole time. Being stressed for three hours week after week not fun.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

Pretty much every game we win is ugly.

Actually i like the grind it out fight it out approach if you have the talent to make it work, but it's all the incompetent errors that make it so frustrating.

 

[rick64]

Since 2016 in games decided by 7 points or less, Stoops is 21-9.

We have the talent this year to play up tempo and throw the ball around the field, and put up a lot of points, but unfortunately for the first time in a long time Kentucky has a bad o-line

I actually remember that game. Underwhelming for sure.

Beats losing 3-0 and beats tying 0-0.

I couldn’t remember if it was a TD or 2 pt. I knew it was in the end zone.

You’re a true fan. Like I used to be a true hunter lol. Nowadays, at my age, a five mile per hour north wind at 50 degrees sends my ass home for good.
