Worse look $EC officiating or Stoops disinterested on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets ?

I couldn't believe that wasn't called, well I really can but I thought the rule was any contact to the head was a penalty. But late hits and cheap shots, a vol trademark for decades.

I’m hoping all the UT players who made those cheap shots yesterday get the Karma they deserve and get their asses clocked and knocked out of games and hopefully longer. No place in the game for that kind of play…

It's always pissed me off, last night's effort beats Vandy/Auburn, maybe SCAR, plays UF closer. Truth is UK makes far too many mistakes to be anything other than ordinary, mediocre.

And that’s coaching.

And that’s coaching.

That's been around UK football for decades, didn't start with Stoops.

100% agree with you. I lost mine in 2007 and not a day goes by where she and my daddy don't cross my mind. The only thing worse would be losing your child.

Tough loss yesterday for fans and Billy. Beck has been pretty bad last month or so, and UF losing Lagway was tough.

On another note have you seen the video of the Jax cops beating up the fans. 2 different incidents by what looked like same cop, one pounding on a gray haired UF fan and another of tazing and punching a UGA using his cuffs as brass knocks. Both incidents looked pretty excessive.

That first half officiating needs an investigation.
But Stoops was completely spaced out. He has looked this way all season.

Hands in his pockets are because he is holding a cashier check for $750,000 he received from Mitch before game. He is disinterested because he is afraid of being arrested for robbing UK and its fans by imitating a football coach.

I love my mom. When she passes I will be devastated. That said, she was 88 years old, and it’s been a week and a half. Is that the excuse for the remainder of the season? If he’s overwhelmed he can take some time off (I recommend it) and hand things over to his assistant coaches.

I lost my mom and she was 78. Was not an easy thing. It took months to get over. Does not matter your age or their age, when you lose the person that gave birth to you, unless you had a bad relationship, it is extremely hard. You might be in the middle of a sales pitch and have to excuse yourself because something was said that reminded you of her, you might be coaching a high level game and think about her. You never know how your mind and soul will respond to losing your mother or father. Lost my father at 19 and he had turned 50 a month before, I still have not gotten over it and I am 59. I lost my mother 13 years ago. At least I had years with her. Was hard but after a year or 3 it was much easier.

I agree he probably needs time off, but since he is divorced and such it might just be harder to deal with at home. He might be at work trying to deal with it because he is around his main family (coaches and players) throughout the week. Would not want to try to figure that out for sure.

That all being said, It is time for Stoops to bivouac and get out of KENTUCKY.

He looked very interested when TN went to BV's head twice without nary a call...finally knocked him out of the game, one of their bounty shots.

I am probably move invested in KY football tha most but the sack on Vandagriff was a CLEAN football play, nothing dirty. If our DL had the exact hit on TN QB we would all be singing, "great play and clean hit." The face push on sideline was a different deal. Should have been 15 yard flag. GBB

It was a clean hit 10 years ago, today it's a personal foul. Can't contact the QB's head area. Can't drive them to the ground either. There wasn't 1 thing clean about it. UGA has been called for far less on the QB this year.

LOL. Go ask BV: " What day is it?" but don't be surprised when he says: "January."
