Lynn Bowden is Tweeting Again

[George]

Now it's, "Been thinking about hanging it up lately" followed by some emojis that I don't understand.

[KevinHall]

Oh boy....When are these coaches going to learn to take the Tweet machine away during the season. It leads to nothing but trouble. Also if he doesn't want to be here then go away. UK doesn't need any more problem children.

This is the kind of stuff you get, a lot of times, from players who could, probably, be playing for most, if not all, SEC teams and they chose to cast their lot with UK.

I'm not sure I completely buy this.

We had a bunch of good players a decade ago with Brooks. Players much more polished than Lynn Bowden.

I can't remember this kind of turmoil. Hell I can't remember this type of turmoil with any UK coach, not even when we had fan revolts.

In total fairness, we didn't have such an easy avenue for complaining like we do now with social media. But there's a weird vibe around UK football and it's been that way much of the season.

Stoops has shown time and time again that there is no discipline or consequences for anything a player does.

For more than half the SEC teams he'd be waiting a couple years for his turn at the wheel. He came here to play right away and he has. Clearly just not enough to satisfy him.

But I'm old school. This seems like something for Stoops office...not twitter.

This reminds me soooo much of vague-posters on Facebook.......................

Woe-is-me, but I'ma make you ask me what's wrong, sympathy fishing garbage.

[TrueblueCATfan]

^ I agree. Catsrock.....don't put that crap on social media....go talk to Stoops personally if you have a problem

When the Florida State University job becomes available, I think Stoops is gone if they want him.

I'll be very surprised if they want him.

Same. It isn't clear to me what Bowden means and it seems a bit presumptuous to assume it is about Football / Stoops alleged "discipline problems".

UT is exhibit A that stupid, knee jerk, fan reactions can destroy a program. Word to the wise UK fans...

But, were any of them as highly touted as Bowden?

Agree.

Seems like some kids today are using social media to control a team or program, or in the case of Missouri a whole school.
not much to say. If he wants to totally 'hang it up' okay. If he's angling to transfer, this is a questionable way.

Kids. I forget these are kids that think they have the world by the hairs.

Randall Cobb had to've been close. Micah Johnson? Maybe Braxton Kelly? Jarmon and those guys?

Just can't remember this level of grumbling and discontent ever. Hard to say from the outside but it may suggest Stoops just doesn't have the full attention of the locker room.
