I like some on here have been following UK football, mens basketball since the late 60s when I can first recall watching games with my dad, going to memorial and watching practice beside my dad and such. Football was always much like a 4 year college degree (or attempt at a degree). Many time in a 4 year block of time we had our freshman year, might win 2 games (maybe less) and get blown out by many. Then as a sophomore we played better but still not much in results (same or about same record). Then we would get our junior year where we would win about 5 or so games and finally our senior year where we would possibly get to a bowl game. We would be 6-6 or 8 wins. Rarely would we do better than than.
Stoops we had the same progression but we had 2 years of Freshman, 2 as sophomore and then about 5 years of (Junior/senior ball). Now back down to freshman / sophomore types of years.
Biggest problem is that in those 5 years several SEC teams were on the down side of things, florida, south carolina and tennessee to name a few. UK did some good and some bad in those down years. But one thing stayed the same. Bad passing offense. People are extremely tired of watching 1940s offense and good defense football.
Is there a legit fix. At this point I do not see it. You will never have a conference of 16 alpha dogs in football. You will never have a conference of 16 alpha dogs in men's basketball.
We are what we have always been. Stoops just put a bow on the recruiting process and took us one step up but not tons up. Take away the joker years and we would get a few players and a bunch of decent players each year. Now we get more of the good players but most come as they could not get PT on their existing teams.
This is our place assigned by the football gods (little g).
I think it is time to just realize that and be happy if we get 2 good and 2 very bad years. Problem is we are looking at year 3 of bad I do believe 3 in a row.
Yup, and I’m done with it. I have enjoyed this forum but I am getting away from UK football until a change is made. A change that demonstrates something different than clock control and horrible fundamentals by the over paid staff.
