What can we do as fans ??

[stuway]

What can we do to show our anger and push for Stoops to leave. By all accounts it sounds like we are gonna lose several coaches and players but Stoops is staying

That's not acceptable. He is the problem. We've seen a rotating cast of coaches and players with Stoops. There's one common denominator with no motivation, unorganized, boring, undisciplined football. It's him, Stoops is the problem.

I'm done supporting this mess and I don't wanna hear it, the University can figure out the buyout. Get Stoops outta Lexington

Idk what can we do to help light a fire on his seat?? Don't go to games, don't contribute to NIL, don't buy gear. Shut it down till Piglet has his bags packed. He took us for a ride. Now we're right back where he started. That's all he can do. Next....paging Mr Sumrall, paging Mr Sumrall

Stay at home

Empty SEATS

 

[rick64]

Yep stay home. Cancel your season tickets.

 

[UK Widget]

Thought about getting tickets next year a while back, now I won't. Heck I'll throw in $20 for the buyout

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Don't go to games.

Don't contribute to NIL. (Expect UK to go 3 and 9 at best and 100% 0 and 8 n sec if that happens). People withheld NIL for basketball and it hurt the team but now the money is back with Pope at the helm.

 

[BlueTick2]

Except the fact that UK has never been a powerhouse team in FB and will never be.

 

[Big Baller 24]

Empty seats email uk

 

[YardCat]

Honestly, should we expect a powerhouse football team at UK? Would it happen if we had unlimited NIL funds? Could Stoops win it with all the money needed?

 

[jeffky]

Do what I did today don't watch the shitshow until stoops is gone

 

[gojvc]

Not much actually.

 

[dvillecatfan]

Do what I did today don't watch the shitshow until stoops is gone

Yes!...I signed up to work OT.

 

[ManitouDan]

Yep stay home. Cancel your season tickets.

I will be doing so next week .. 3 couples , 6 of us .

Don't see any powerhouse teams with the expanded playoff and NIL. Think we will get more parity. And no, UK won't be a powerhouse n football either.

People are gonna look back at bama winning 6 titles in like 12 years and say how did that happen.

 

[Rockfly78]

Nothing really. I mean, they know nobody is happy. It is what it is really. The contract is the contract. If you enjoy going to the games then keep going and support the team. It won’t make a difference if you stop going. It feels like it worked when we fired joker. But jokers record would have done him in even if the stadium was full.

 

[chevyman 50]

Quit going to games.

 

[seccats04]

If S Carolina, Ole Miss and Missouri can win 9 regular season games in this new era, so can we. Stop with the excuses.

 

[anonymous_2011]

Honestly, quit spending money on football till they make changes to improve. College sports are a business above all else now.

 

[ok-cats-computer]

I don’t expect Kentucky to be an annual powerhouse in football, but I expect us to at least be competitive with Louisville every year.

 

[cat tat2]

It’s all about the money … stop going to games and stop supporting NIL, the program needs new leadership.

 

[maysvilleky]

Can we do what the Texas A&M fans did and demand Stoops not be the HC?

 

[permdaddy]

Empty Seats, No donations, E-mails, No Merchandise,

 

[catlogic15]

Pony up!

 

[jboler]

Enjoy the basketball season

 

[blue cincy]

Only thing to do as a fan if you want him gone is stop giving money to the NIL, stop going to functions, stop going to games, blue white spring game and such. Stop paying any attention to the football program. Act like it got the death penalty. Support other fall sports. Let Barnhardt know you are support other sports, you will not purchase season tickets, you will not donate.

 

[FirewithFire]

It's a lose lose situation for fans. If we stop going to games and paying out money the program collapses and whoever comes next has to start from the ground, or below it.

If we keep giving them money then Stoops probably finishes out his contract. That sucks too. So idk which is better.

Personally, just for me, I'm done with the whole ish show. I only have so much time and I'm not watching some leech get rich while putting a crap product on the field. If Stoops had an iota of honor he would walk away now.

 

[UKUGA]

Pick a new team.

If the players can change teams, you can find a new team to root for.

The landscape has changed, that should give all fans a free pass to choose another team to root for - one that can compete in the world of NL.

 

[Fox2monk]

Don't go to games.

Don't contribute to NIL. (Expect UK to go 3 and 9 at best and 100% 0 and 8 n sec if that happens). People withheld NIL for basketball and it hurt the team but now the money is back with Pope at the helm.

Exactly this, what’s another losing season? We have had plenty in FB.

 

[Jazzycat]

Did Stoops violate his contract by reaching out to TAMU last year? Maybe Barnhart needs to call his bluff a la Calipari…

 

[UKfan215]

Vote with your wallet. If season ticket sales completely tank, if Commonwealth is mostly empty all season, if NIL dries up and if Kentucky football merch sales are zilch, then something will change. If Mark Stoops is retained after this disaster of a season, simply forget UK football exists when next season rolls around. If enough people do that, the Stoops problem will then take care of itself. And at that point, we need to demand that Mitch goes with him.

 

[FirewithFire]

Did Stoops violate his contract by reaching out to TAMU last year? Maybe Barnhart needs to call his bluff a la Calipari…

Unlike Calipari, Stoops didn't have language in his contract that made his flirting a violation. It's just another screw up on Mitch's part. Dude is awful free with the university's millions.

 

[RUPPsRevenge1]

Keep cheering on our team. We were a few plays away from making it a game. I think the guys learned from this. Not every year will be an up year, you can only hope to learn and grow as a team.

It does zero good to continue to buy tickets, donate money, and buy $12 beers at Kroger Field. Stay the hell home, save your money for something FUN, watch the game on TV if you have the courage to do so. NOTHING will be done until the stadium has maybe 20,000 people in the stands even if we are playing Bama, GA, FL, or TN. Stay home and hope the administration will get the hint.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Do what I did today don't watch the shitshow until stoops is gone

I’m almost to this point with Stoops football program and I never have ever done that with any UK program. I have watched regardless of how high or low the programs have been. I’m getting to a stage in my life if our AD wants to continue to allow mediocrity to continue on with the current coaching staffs that are in place then I’m done watching and supporting until that said staff is gone. I have done this $hit way too long in my life. I’m done always waiting for the next year that never comes with said coaching staffs. They leave and we get a new coaching staff then my support will be back 100%!

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Can't never did shit.

 

[VAWildcat15]

I finally live close enough to Lexington to go to a game. Guess what I won’t be doing next season? It’s not much but it’s really all I can do. I’ll skip the games on TV too. New rule for me. I’m not watching if we’re not bowl eligible.

 

[Seth_C]

Stoops could not, even with all the money in the world. So let’s start there. Let’s find a coach who could win with all the money in the world, then work on seeing how much we can get him. Until then all the money in the world is just a waste.

Only thing you can do is walk away.
