Hope the fans finally get behind Stoops but the vitriol thrown at the 'sunshine pumpers' was totally uncalled for earlier this year, even after UK's 4 SEC wins. Cats could be top 25 next year with minimal losses! Go Big Blue!!
Check in you 7-5 Sunshine Pumpers!!!

I'm a believer now. I haven't been, but he is my Daddy. Wow what a gameplan, boys played great, Stoops is really starting to get it. GO BIG BLUE!
Earlier? All year. Don't give people a break.
Where is TTU/Tech? He said he would apologize/admit he was wrong if Stoops won 6+ games? Time to pay up.
Win the bowl game and we're 8-5 and maybe top 25 in final poll this year.
Stoops has decent talent redshirting, good talent coming in, the Future is bright for Stoops and the Cats.
That goes under the saying "Who woulda thunk it?"
Don't worry, the sunshine dumpers won't surface until something negative happens.
This is a 7-5 team that should have beaten Sourhern Miss and Georgia. Could have easily been a top 15-20 team.
Team could have folded after S. Miss and they didnt.
Most of the team returns next year too!

I'm here. Been called a sunshine pumper and am damn proud of it!
Time for me to eat crow, never thought Stoops had it in him. Predicted 4 wins for season,but thank God they played to win the game, not to lose it. Offensive coordinator called a helluv a game. Crow is a little bit drier than the Turkey I had Thanksgiving. I live in Louisville,I guess I won't be listening to too much crap this week
You not alone I was on record as 4/5 wins tops.
Glad to be wrong. Stoops hadn't shown much, looks like he's got it going now.
- Congrats to CMS and his troops. Getting them to believe they could win this game and any SEC game, is a remarkable accomplishment.
- This is proof patience can be rewarding and although a bowl game is still to be played, BRAVO! UK administrators, football donors, students and especially the fans!
- A record of 7-5 has never felt so great!!
I was really, really down after Southern Miss game. Then the rumors about Stoops before SC game was the lowpoint. It looked bleak but this team made believers out of all of us! Just still can't believe the job Johnson has done...played like a Hall of Famer today.
I'm always pretty positive going into the season, but I hit a big time low after the NMSU game. We just looked terrible against the run. Supposedly Stoops took over the defense and we improved immensely. Very proud of this team just digging deep .
If you know any football you could see that we had a lot of good talent coming back this year. Developing a good football team is a process and we are halfway there. To develop a good football program takes more, let's hope the #BBN understands that, and it's not about packing CWS against top teams or color the bowl game stadium blue. It's about being a fan, showing up at every single game and packing CWS for the spring game and every single home game every year. The administration has done their part, the boosters have done theirs, the coaches and players their part. The challenge now lays with the #BBN - do the #BBN have enough true football fans to do this, or does the fan Base consist of too many sunshine fans. The answer will show itself in the years to come.
Thing I'll remember about this team is they got better as the season went on.

For me, I'm glad we're going to a bowl with a 7-5 record. A winning record. Not a fan, and will never be, of a 6-6 team going to a bowl.
.500 is mediocre or average at best. At 7-5 you are a winner.

I'm tickled to death to eat crow; I felt 4 wins was about the best we could hope for.
Very proud of this team.
Very proud of this team.
I predicted only 5. Happy to be wrong and glad to see this team improve as the season has progressed.
You all can hate all you want but if this team beats southern miss and goes 8-4 you'd have a much better season. Like big bowl game better
Never put it out there but had thought 7 wins were possible at the start of the year only to fear we may not even win 5 after the way we played the first 2 games. I happily admit that I was wrong after the Florida game. Coach Stoops and Gran did phenomenal jobs this year!

There's nothing wrong with fans being critical of Stoops for losing games he should not lose, and there's been more than a few these last 3 years. All this win does is prove the criticism was fair. Hopefully there won't be as many in the future, but when there are I'll be critical again. That doesn't mean I don't support Stoops though. I give a lot of credit for a great job today. If we don't get that last fumble and lose today a lot of you would have still been happy and ready to pat them all on the back for playing hard and almost winning. I can tell you right now I was not going to be happy at all. I was going to be vey pissed at blowing another opportunity to win a big game that we should have won.
