    Once again, this argument has been defeated. debunked, de-boned, and destroyed.

    If you want stadiums filled with fans, you have to earn it. Great play and achievement must come first. ALWAYS. This is a spectator sport. People want to be entertained, not occupied.

    Kentucky has long since burned up any free debt of expectation to performance in the fan's minds. Going forward, the Cats have to produce more in the way of performance, with little in the way of entitled expectations from the fans.

    If fans don't go, they have EARNED that right. The burden isn't on fans, anymore. PERIOD.

        "Crush, crush"? After the way we played, yesterday, I'll be ecstatic if we beat the Vols.

          I am hoping the staff and the team can regroup and pull out some wins. They need a few feel good wins, to make the season a success. I am disappointed, but there are games left and I hope they have some fight in them, the rest of the season.

            We have five games left. Four of them are winnable. If we go 2-2 in those and lose to Georgia we will be 7-5, which is a successful season. But, we could easily lose all four of those winnable games with the way they played yesterday. That would be a disaster.

              The more I think about it, the more I believe the Tennessee game is THE most pivotal game this year. Whatever happened in the locker room last night plus the reports of Bone questioning play calling on social media are things that start my spider sense tingling. A win over any UT team no matter how 'bad' and it smoothes down.
              a loss and ....

                Matt Roark...where u at? Any win over UT is a thing of beauty. Plus this time would make us bowl eligible and likely put ugly orange back to ground zero with a new staff. If only we had a little more reason for optimism. 5-2 with one feel good game.

                  Since they won't throw to Conrad maybe he can play QB this week? Like you said it worked against the Vols with a WR at QB a few years ago.

                    Lol....I have to admit I am completely at a loss. E.Gran used his tight end at cincinnati continually.
                    like I heard one time, the information I don't know would fell a team of oxen. I just wish I had a clue why this isn't happening UNLESS the offensive line is even more of a train wreck than I imagined and we have to have these guys as blockers.

                      If I'm not mistaken, that TE's name was Travis Kelce.

                        It is. He's a beast. I just don't know why we don't use Conrad more often.

                          You didn't answer my question. How should we talk about the team? You answered by saying what the fans should do.

                                It is possible to be critical and still be positive. I think that is what most people on this forum are doing.
