Boom averages 7.2 yards a carry and you let him run the football 13 times. Thought Gran's offenses were supposed to make tight ends stars? CJ dropped the first pass and Gran just said forget the tight ends.

I think CJ Conrad has the skillset to be our first good TE since Tamme, but he will never be utilized properly under Stoops.

He was intent on making Drew THE star. To hell with the run game or the TE. I thought our O Line was legit? What's gonna happen when we hit conference play? If USM's UNDERSIZED D Line can make us look bad, what will Florida do? Or Georgia? Or UT? Year in and out I am sick of this CRAP being produced on the field. Let's get through this year, then we can look toward the future. Hopefully that future is with a new coaching staff. Hopefully Jeff Brohm is our coach next season.

And, for that matter, Barnhart can hit the door, too.

Looooooong overdue. He has to be one of the worst ADs in the country, hands down. How many ADs botch, badly, head coaching hires in both football and men's basketball and still keep their jobs? He is in over his head.

Mitch Barnhart hired head coaches for Kentucky football and Kentucky men's basketball who are now a quality control assistant and a junior college coach.

What's gonna happen when we hit conference play?

Well, seeing as how we're heading to the Swamp on Saturday, we won't have to wait long to find out.

Brohm will never be the head coach here for a number of reasons, so you can drop that thought.

What's one reason? Just give me one. Because he played for UL? Well if Barnhart goes, then that's one less obstacle. There is the rub. Mitch's limited football mind is blindsiding him and he doesn't even know it. I have been hearing that Brohm rumor for a bit now. Tonight's loss brought it back in my mind. Why WOULDN'T you want him?

Was at the game. It was awesome until it sucked.

OMG that second half....

Will NEVER go to another game until the incompetence is gone.

I've been following UK football for 30 years. "I like the direction the program is heading", "next years recruiting class", blah, blah, blah. Is it November yet?

Of course it's an intriguing idea. But that's all it is.

Brohm is a hot name and with one more great season in Bowling Green, he'll be offered much better jobs than the dumpster fire in Lexington.

It's a moot point, anyway. Because of Mitch's awesome contract extension, we'll owe Stoops twelve million bucks if we fire him. He'll be here next year if we don't win another game all year.

Honest question: if we go to Gainsville and get blown out on Saturday, will Commonwealth be even half full against New Mexico State?

Methinks not.

[Blue Heaven]

No it won't.
So when Barnhart is gone after this season, who would you like to have coaching here? In all honesty, Mitch is in WAY over his head. He hit a gold mine with the Cal hire. If not for that, he woulda/shoulda been gone long ago. He should be gone after this season along with Stoops. The man just whiffs on "Big time hires" way too much for my liking.

[Bombastic Blue]

Hey Mods! Here's an idea. Why don't you move basketball back to the top so I don't have to scroll through this sad football crapola to get to something interesting?

[KCKUKFan]

Barnhart isn't going anywhere, either, man.

Don't be delusional.

I know he isn't going anywhere either. The idea sounds fantastic though.

It's not even going to take a blowout. If we don't win next weekend, Commonwealth is going to be bare simple as that
