Why don't you apply for an OC job?

Naaahhhhh....right now I got some folks in my life that just don't like me....I don't need fifty, sixty thousand UK fans actually hating me.

Same old ky. Stoop's teams always fade away. Don't know what he isn't doing but it has been a problem for the last 4 yrs anyway. This team has not improved and that is a reflection of coaching. Guess we are what we are. Offense has never been good and I don't think it will ever be with the staff stoops has.

[40bill]

The real concern is.....awwwwwww Heck with it.
i got too emotionally vested in this football team. Too many big, big dreams.

Time for this fan just to kick back, watch and let it ride.

November is never a good month for BBN football fades to mediocrity and basketball is never very good.

[Lighthouse]

Come on Lighthouse. I love you like a brother, but given the team we were supposed to have, and the team Tn. has, there's no excuse for a mauling like this.

OH, I agree totally with you. I wish I had an answer for how our heralded OL & DL have performed. Wilson has completed several passes, but has been off target a lot and has forced his receivers to make tough catches when an on target pass would have been easy. I'm scratching my head, but I'm never going to turn negative on any Kentucky team.

I just don't see how Stoops can justify another season with Gran calling plays.

Oh, I don't think we are turning against anybody.....but my goodness the O-line is no longer a strength???????
and now Matt House's defense looks like LAST years defense.
It's really kind of mind boggling right now to compare this team to the one that beat Florida and Mississippi State....today was a very poor performance against a team that just isn't very good at all.

[Matt Dillon]

Even if we beat MTSU (and that's not a given) and U of L, that's not going to erase the bitter taste from my mouth. With just a decent off., this team could have been 11-1 or, at worst, 10-2.

Good Bye New Years Bowl. Hello Belk bowl or whatever.

[40bill]

I know that Alabama football and Kentucky football aren't in the same Universe,

But Alabama just cinched in a ten plus win season....
FOR THE ELEVENTH TIME IN A ROW.

looks like one day we could get a ten win gig.
This was the second chance....LAST years team had that shot too.

Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.

I agree, I wasn't real sure what Matt Dillon's post was about. You all know I call them like I see them, but so many on here go overboard with negative stuff. We have so many here who are way more knowledgeable about FB than me, and I read their posts with interest, but....

That's what makes us scratch our heads when we play uninspired football.

[Pobilly]

I decided not to follow basketball team till after football season. Well football season ended. This team has lost themselves. Not sure if it is coaching, style of play or what but this is not a good football team at this point in time.

[40bill]

It's awful strange to go back a few short months and think that a season with wins over Florida, State, South Carolina, Mizzou and 8 or 9 wins could be disappointing.


Somehow it is.

[Matt Dillon]

For whatever reason, it seems as if the wheels have totally come off. The off. has been suspect all season, so that's nothing new. But it's even worse now because Benny hasn't been playing up to par the last few weeks. I suspect it's because DC's are learning how to scheme for him. It may also be fatigue from being overused. If it was an undisclosed injury, A.J. is a more than capable backup. The def. has lost some of their mojo as well.
