We could easily be 5-1 if we had played that way against MSU and UK *

I am glad we won. I still wish we could get rid of Beamer, he is an inept coach who gets lucky just enough to placate garnet koolaid drinkers. If he was a great coach we would not lose games like KY and MSU, but somehow we find ways to lose games like these.

UK beat LSU, the same way they beat us - OT 2 point conversion. They are a very good football team.
It appears that KY has landed a really good coach, and this will be a problem for us in the long term. Just like Mizzou probably has what is, pound for pound, the best coach in the SEC. We hired the wrong coach and gave him a huge contract, we will continue to suffer from Ray Tanner’s mistakes for years to come.

Sellers play was the difference.
The focus and passing accuracy was much more like the expected from the beginning of the season although there were a few lapses. If this Sellers is the one we have going forward, we have a chance.

With the exception of maybe last season, this staff has traditionally gotten better along the way as a season progresses.

The UK game was by far the more painful of the two. MSU turned it on.

Who still manages to inexplicably drop a game on the road at MSU.

Goes to show how difficult it is to predict a season with the transfer portal. Most of us had MSU and UK in the win column, when it turned out they were at best toss-ups.

And that will be the new norm. All those years of playing Madden and diving into depth chart analysis to try and gauge our upcoming seasons are going to be replaced by shrugs and "I dunno, I guess we'll see".

Our win over UF is generating more talk about how bad UF is than how good we are.

UK and MSSt are much better than UF.

I am not sure I can agree with you with regards to Kentucky, they are a much better team than given credit for. MSU, yes, I can agree with you there, as Sellers sloppy play really hurt us that week.

When has that not been the case lol. I remember crossing swords with King Ward on the old PSR board 25-26 years ago on that very subject after a win over Georgia.

PSR? Now that is a long time ago. Message boards in their infancy.....

In this case, one side is bolstered by UF's previous week.

as the season progresses, the quality of the win yesterday over Florida will be revealed. However, after Mizzou took them to the woodshed last week and then we soundly defeated them, one could objectively make the argument Florida was overrated, I myself fell into that one. I really thought Florida would play much better against us after their loss to Mizzou. To his credit, the new coach at Florida has been saying they are a work in progress, he stated it in his post game comments after beating Ole Miss.

It is what it is. 3-3. It’s done so I’m putting the bat down and hoping for some good football to watch the rest of the way.
