Who is the one team you really want UK to beat this year?
- Thread starter screwduke
- Start date
I want Kentucky to win every game. It puzzles me why someone would pick out 1 game and say it counts more than the others. The games that mean the most to the growth of our program are the conference games. But all of them count the same toward bowl eligibility, and that is the critical threshold for this season. So if you ask me which game is the most important, that will be our 6th win.
I understand your point but it just sickens me that Florida has owned us for over a quarter century. I think killing the streak is very important
I agree with the Florida pick. We need to beat the Gators this year.
I can't choose between the TWO, the two biggest cheaters we always play.
Oh hell, wait a minute, we also play Auburn this year.
Oh well, they are still third on my list.

I can't say just one, but here's my list in the order that I want the most:
1. Louisville
2. Florida
3. Tennessee
All three are at home this year (and Tennessee isn't even close to being as good as we made them look last year)..time for revenge against all three of these punks

If we lose to Florida but win the Capital One Bowl, you will get over losing to Florida. I want to win all of them, and would especially like to break the nation's longest losing streak. But if you ask any Kentucky fan or coach, the goal for this season is a bowl game. Since 2013, our football program has come a long way, and recruiting is the most obvious reason. If our program continues to improve at this pace, losing streaks will soon cease to seem important and bowls will become our focus.
Georgia or Auburn. I think Stoops needs a signature win. Beating a down Florida, South Carolina, or Missouri (if in fact Mizzou ends up being down like many think they will on this board) won't really give him that signature win against a ranked opponent that will make a statement to the entire football world. Beating Georgia or Auburn would make that kind of statement.
Beating Kansas in football would be like taking candy from a baby. That would be a nice Power 5 conference opponent.
We will not beat Georgia this year, but Auburn is doable. I expect to beat Mizzou at home. If we do, you can call it a signature win or not call it a signature win, but I guarantee you coaches and prospects all over the region will get the message.
Florida is the program I want the most, but I think beating Auburn would do more for Stoops. Talk about a signature win, especially if they rolled in unbeaten.
I feel like that Auburn game has signature win written all over it...we play at a different level at home, especially in a game like that that's being circled on the calendar..the big games we had circled last year were South Carolina, Miss. St. and Louisville and we played well in all of them..I think Stoops has some of that "Big game Bob" swagger that his brother had in his early Oklahoma years where he always showed up and played the best in the big games
FLORIDA. And it's not even close. Hard to take our program seriously when a team in our division has a 25+ season win streak over us. I believe this is the year that streak ends.
The whole purpose of signature win is to beat a team everybody says is not doable. Currently everyone outside of BBN believes that it's not doable for UK to beat UT, Auburn or Georgia. If Mizzou rolls into CWS unranked and looking as bad as UK fans believe they will it most certainly won't be a signature win.
Auburn, on a Thursday night, with every recruit in America watching? Think about what helps the program instead of some streak. With the best players UK will beat Florida anyway but National TV games are much more important for the program
If we win that Auburn game at home, we will have already beaten the Gators, and I agree with MrHotDice, the Auburn win will be bigger for the program at that point. It will be hard for anything to match it the rest of the regular season, in terms of recruit exposure and perceptions.
My vote would be for auburn or uga simply because if we beat those two we most likely would beat at least 9 other teams on the schedule
