UK-Penn State Game Thread

[Brasslock]

I would be hard pressed to fault anyone's attempt to maintain civility, especially in light of today's trend to disregard civil discourse and any semblance of respect for others. My mouth can be terrible but I try very hard not to loose the baseness of my vocabulary anywhere it might offend others sensibilities. I see nothing wrong with maintaining this sensitivity here. It is a bit refreshing. Has nothing to do with being weaker or stronger. Has nothing to do with anyone who is misguided to the point of believing one gender is inherently weaker than another. I agree with Pobilly for the most part. Is it a thing of the past? I'm not so sure.

A great win yesterday! I am hoping not to wait another 40 years for a 10-win season. Snell and Allen have been a joy to watch. Here's hoping this can vault the football program to another level.

Getting back to UK sports because the rest of this is pointless: has there been a better week and a half for UK sports in December/January than this one? Basketball wins over North Carolina and Louisville in convincing fashion, football clinches its first 10 win season in my lifetime in a major New Year's Day bowl game over a historical powerhouse. Probably the best weekend you can get this time of year.

Nope one of the best weeks i can remember in many a year.

I believe UK is in much better shape than 40 years ago.
that year, the team lost even more than this one. It turned out there were some disciplinary issues few of us dreamed, and culminated in a dorm rape allegation and further issues that rattled the entire school I believe there are more things in place now to catch some of the behavior we read about....later.
The bench is deeper now, and recruiting us on firm footing.

I don't expect another 10 win season this upcoming year, but do anticipate a bowl season. UK would be in line for Liberty or Belk and an 8 win slate MIGHT get the Outback...and the Texas pays well and has proved it will take an SEC East team.
I feel good about the future.

Next Year Schedule. Toledo (hard first game) only due to the wide open offense. / Eastern Michigan should be an easy W / Fla here will be a fun one to watch / AT Miss St always a hard game / at South Carolina they will be hard for a W / Arkansas here will be a fun one as well for us that is / at UGA L for sure / Missou here they will be wanting payback / Tennessee here we will want payback / At Vandy tough game / UT Martin (why) / UofL should be an easy W. 8 home games all winnable / 2 west games winnable / UGA Loss / Florida and Tennessee are probably toss ups.

Could be a 7 to 9 win year. Hope we have a strong spring / everybody plays nice in the off season (no issues) and then get back to work come July. GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking 7-8 wins, replacing Allen and Snell will be an adjustment until someone grabs the opportunity to carry the torch on both sides of the ball. Hopefully Wilson develops a stronger passing game in the Spring/Summer period to enable offense to open up.

Eastern Michigan bailed and I think we play Akron. If I'm not mistaken

At age 76, and following Kentucky Sports for most of those years, it's as exciting a weekend as I can remember.

Akron not sure about those guys. If I remember correctly they were a wide open offense back a few years back. Not sure about now.

Wide open offenses are not rare any longer. Missouri has been gun and fun since Pinkett left, ole Miss, MTSU last season.

My concern is getting OUR offensive line to pass block better. I have also noticed that although we have a very legitimate Suze in both lines, they struggle against smaller quicker lines.
If Kentucky IS going to begin passing more, the offensive line will have to really improve pass blocking.
