Didn’t see that one coming. I still believe UT may make a deep run in NCAA tournament. They have an experienced backcourt and are usually a good shooting team.
This article is fairly accurate, however, the Cats are playing their best basketball now. They have looked quite impressive the past three weeks. I think fans are “holding their breath” to see whether the “February/March Cats” show up or the inconsistent team we saw earlier in the year, reappear.
The players running it can’t be any worse than the stuffed shirts that are running the NCAA now.
Agree, however, most teams can’t get their players to play in bowl games, much less an SEC all star game. Good idea though. It would be fun to watch. Also, not to be a homer, but how does big Deone Walker (DL at Kentucky) make 3rd team All- American and not get any mention in the All-SEC team. He was dominant and always in the backfield. 53 tackles playing from the nose guard position, 5.5 sacks, eating up blocks and disrupting plays. Projected first rounder. SMH on this one.
I like Coach Lea. He seems to be an intelligent coach and is trying hard at Vanderbilt. Unfortunately, he doesn’t currently have the players to compete in the conference at the present time.
Considering the way he handed LSU a 21 point loss their last meeting, I’d say he was their top pick.
So happy Coach Stoops is staying in the bluegrass! He’s not perfect, but he’s the best we’ve had in decades. I remember well the anemic years of the 1980’s and 90’s. Bowl games were few and far between. We’ve had a tough streak of losses this season, but the upset of Louisville was so sweet! Congratulations Coach Stoops! We are happy you are staying!
It has been said in years past that there are two jobs Stoops would leave UK for: 1. Ohio State. 2. Notre Dame. He has turned down FSU and Michigan State a few years ago. Being an Ohio guy, this sounds about right for Stoops.
Great job Cats. I really wasn’t expecting that type of game, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Atlas will be drowning in his tears because Kentucky beat Louisville.
I have some huge reservations about Kentucky’s chances today. Louisville is playing too good and Kentucky is playing about as poorly as they possibly could. My heart says “Go Cats”, but my head says Louisville by 3 touchdowns.
Why wouldn’t the SEC rushing leader be a Heisman candidate??? He deserves consideration.
I can’t say with 100% certainty, but I think it has something to do with the fact that Kentucky has recruited the central and northern Ohio area very strongly, since the arrival of Coach Stoops. He may have seen it as a chance to showcase his team to potential recruits in the area. Good or bad, that’s the only reasoning I can come up with.
Yep. We are anxiously awaiting our invitation to the Birmingham Bowl. Embarrassing. (And that’s no overreaction!).
All three have done a fantastic job with their respective teams this year.
“Do the Vols have any chance against No. 1 Georgia?”…Two chances…slim and none. Dawgs by 3 touchdowns.
Cook is the real deal at QB. He does what he has to, to win games. Schrader was unstoppable. Congratulations Mizzou.
Many Vol fans were pulling hard for Levis to fail. One game doesn’t make a career, but that’s one heck of a start.
It looked worse than it was. I too believe he was attempting to punch the ball, but missed badly. Should have been flagged though.
First of all, UK fans will not disrespect any SEC coach’s hair, considering our head coach’s ‘do. It’s atrocious! Congrats to Alabama. Good game and good win.
True. Missouri looked good against LSU. Could’ve easily won that game. Their QB is the real deal.
This should be an interesting matchup. Who wins? I have no idea. They seem to be fairly evenly matched.
The writer didn’t mention the “biggest takeaway”…an absolutely dominate performance by Kentucky’s Offensive and Defensive lines.
If my team had been “owned”, the way Stoops and the Cats have owned South Carolina, I think I’d keep my mouth shut.
A win is a win, but we can’t keep playing sloppy. We have to curtail the penalties and turnovers.
Proud to get the W, but I don’t feel the most confident going into the Vandy game in Nashville. Vanderbilt is much improved. We need to get Ray Davis 20+ touches, either receptions or rushes.
Congratulations Gators. Good win. Didn’t think I would ever say this, but could Missouri and Florida be “the best of the rest” in the East behind UGA? Only time will tell.
Good game by SC. UGA has lots of dudes. They can go way down the depth chart on D and not lose any talent. Fun game to watch.
