His name has been removed from the injury report
Carr possibly playing tonight
- Thread starter WildcatUKx
- Start date
Honestly if he’s banged up I’d rather he sit and heal. This UT game is going to be tough to win without our starting and backup PG anyway.
He can't guard anyone on their roster anyway. I'd rather him sit and just take the blow out and get healthy for the next game. UT is not the team to play with a messed up back.
They usually do that when the security guards have picked them up off the floor, and carried them away for good.
This thread is already an embarrassment. The defeatists of the world are pathetic.
A Tenn booster is probably already texting a few players to give out bounties on roughing Carr up in case he plays
I don’t like this. I say sit him too with butler being out. More rest. Not winning without butler anyway unless some unforeseen circumstances happen. Like Travis Perry turns into Jason Kidd overnight
Look, I think we've shown we 'can' play with anybody. But without Butler in this one, sit Carr, take the L, and get healthy.
Some of the same people saying Pope it too soft want a player to sit because "we're going to lose anyway".
Talk about soft..... look in the mirror.

I don’t get this. Pope said he shouldn’t have been playing Carr and he needed more time to be able to contribute.
I assume it’s a bit of desperation with Butler out but I hope this doesn’t do more long term damage then the short term gain we get.

If he isn’t fully healthy like people did Saturday, why risk this for a game your were never gonna win? I respect Carr for wanting to try, but if isn’t fully healthy then it’s a big risk.
Think about the situation really hard and you will find the answer. It’s not that difficult.
UT will bang him. I hope we can win without our top 3 players if Carr sits but it's gonna be tough. We need these guys down the stretch but if Pope thinks Carr is healthy enough put him in.
I still think we have a punchers chance if we get hot from 3 either way.

There you go AC.
He wants to win. Throw everything but the kitchen sink at these guys.
If Tennessee was an offensive juggernaut, I would be a little leary, but Tennessee does not score that easily. Teams that struggle to shoot and score, keep their opponents in the game.
If the cats can stay within arms length, like they did against duke and Gonzaga, they can steal this one.
Obviously Andrew feels good enough to play, so let him play.

For guys like Carr and Butler, this is kind of their last hoorah. If they can physical go, they’re going go.
I'd say Pope knows his players and their health statuses much better than we do. I will also assume that he's seen plenty of tape on UT and is aware of how they play.
If Pope, Carr, and the team trainers think Carr can play then that's good enough for me.
Let's surprise the dirty Vols tonight and punch them in the mouth first!

Respect him for trying, UT is the worst team to face when you have back issues. But i bet Carr will be on a snap count tonight
Of course you want him to sit so we lose by 30 and you can run wild in the game thread scteaming "Fire in the streets ! The world is ending !!!"
Go old school. Qualude 30 minites before game and play like Mike Phiilips.
Right, wrong or indifferent I think it is more of a concern of losing him for Arkansas. I don’t want to be around here if Carr is out Saturday and the unthinkable were to happen. The Arkansas fans were beyond obnoxious at the baseball games. I don’t want to hear their **** or the media (Seth Greenberg).
I think aTm and Auburn are more physical that Tennessee. Heck, aTm is the team responsible for Butler's shoulder. They are rough.
I'm not conceding a loss until it actually happens. This is Kentucky. We don't cower in the face of adversity.

Time to put us on his back and carry us past floppy top
Be prepared if we lose way too many dumb orange peels being in here even though we don't have a pg, they are at home and a huge favorite
Totally agree. There are a TON of rival fans here pretending to be UK fans and UK fans that really don't care but love to get attention. Free forum will attact the worst....
Luckily Pope isn't thinking that way. I'd want him fired tomorrow if he was that big of a PU........
Gimme that crow baby! Woooo!! He did end up sitting after that first play - and it was going to be tough to win, but we did baby! Eat **** UT!
