    Some thoughtd now that I’m on my second bourbon:

    -What struck me about this game is how…easy it was? This reminded me of the latter half of the Lynn Bowden year where you knew what was coming and the defense was still powerless to stop it. They just gave it to Chris Rodriguez or Smoke and they made it happen.

    -It’s not an original observation but Kentucky’s defense just would not let up until I think they sort of got tired and lost focus. But the first 3 quarters was just one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen.

    -Levis. What can you say? I’ve been critical but he threw good passes and even though it scares the bejeezus out of me, watching him run with it is amazing. He just flattened a few dudes out there. That throw to Wandale was perfect, he just couldn’t bring it in. I thought Levis made good shirt throws too.

    -Oxendine likely out for the year. That’s tough.

    -I encourage you to listen to the Pin It Deep podcast with Max Duffy and Miles Butler. They interviewed Stoops this week and it’s a fantastic listen. He’s such a players coach and you can see why players love playing for him. He is not perfect and his style can be frustrating, but there’s nobody else I’d want leading this program. Name the field after him and put up a statue.

      What happened to Ox?? He was playing really well. I did not know he got hurt.

        Miles Butler. A backup kicker from my home town. The son of an MD. I never knew what happened with him.

          If you guessed “podcast on the KSR network”…nice guess.

              Great win, put us ON the big stage. This team better than the 1977 club, deeper and beating teams in a much more competative SEC than what 77 club faced. I am think we could beat UGA with a little luck, by any yard stick it is the biggest football game in my lifetime.

                  I tried to look on "Tiger Droppings" this morning to see what the LSU faithful were saying...and the football forum was locked HA HA.

                    Am honestly surprised O hasn’t been fired yet. Woulda thought getting handled and run over by Kentucky would be the final straw.

                      I know they've stunk overall since the championship, but geez...the guy just won a title. Not everyone can reload a staff as quickly as Nick Saban.

                      They say that the off of the field stuff is a big part of it, but if they were winning then I doubt it would matter. I think it's as much a fanbase that feels it's only downhill from here and that they might as well move on.

                      Good luck with that after wanting to fire him 1.5 seasons after an undefeated, all-time title year.

                        Speaking of fanbases, I drop by volnation every now and then. After two impressive wins, the fans are proclaiming that they're back. Some of them are also saying that we won't be a problem, that they're going to come into Lexington and hand us our rears.

                          Of course they are.

                            They are better than I thought they would be, and I gotta hand it to them, they have some fans that definitely believe.

                            Still, I don't think there is a more delusional fanbase in the country in terms of who they think they are vs. who they actually are. Humility is in short supply down there...

                            Ok, maybe South Carolina is more delusional. After the USC game, their fans were posting how they should never lose to a "garbage program" like UK... I wanted to create an account to say, "Well you are 1-7 against UK in recent years so... get used to it."

                            I don't take any SEC team for granted, even Vandy. We are really limping into the UGA game (which was already a ridiculous challenge). If Ox is out for beyond the UGA game I'm worried about the back half.

                              Other forums there are open. They are pretty humble and reasonable. I read the entire game thread there and it was some hilarious stuff. They endured that loss with a lot of humor. Fans can be hilarious when they are frustrated.

                                Also in general many other fan forums are confusing and hard to navigate. Maybe I'm just getting old but the way our forums are set up are very easy and clear cut. At least to me.
