Meh, that's not fair.
1. It's what makes UK Football Fan the most beaten in college football. None of the other doormats, hell most of the other decent teams, don't constantly deliver. It's a great fan base considering. Yesterday was awesome.
2. From his comments, the fans showing up the way they have this season, especially last night, seem to have affected him. As it should. We deserve better.
I suspect, without some movement, the crowds after UT will be rough.
I don’t want any part of Strickland. He has screwed up at least 2 football hires and he basically looked the other way when his basketball coach did whatever it was he did. I always assumed Peavy was next in line but maybe that ship sailed when he sided with Cal. (Ir)Regardless Mitch needs to go, too.
I was there and sitting at the 15 yard line on the UK side. He had no choice but to jump because Texas had about 1200 lbs of future NFL defensive linemen standing right in front of him. He wasn't running through that or around it.
Stack the box like you’re pretending to do what they did anyway, fake pitch/misdirect to one side, QB bootleg with a TE blocker the opposite direction.
Even with man coverage and/or a spy, you have a better chance than that stupid **** they tried repeatedly last night (because of said 1200 pounds of muscle that will all be in the NFL in the next year or two).
Would have been nice if someone had gotten that info to Stoops and Hamden.
The MAIN reason I want Mitch gone now is that I don't trust him to hire the next football coach.
Like to have seen them put Law and either RB in the backfield and try and run either an RPO or a fake hand off dive to the RB and toss to Law and use his speed to try and beat them on the perimeter.
I don't want to read a quarter billion Hyman Kaplan posts about it for the next 7 weeks, but it is readily obvious to everyone that Mitch Barnhart should have absolutely no say in what happens with Stoops.
Barnhart is the problem. While Barnhart has done far more good than a lot of Kentucky fans want to acknowledge, his inability to negotiate reasonable deals and the fact that he is openly off-putting to Kentucky fans makes this easy. He's had a good run but Stoops' contract situation is a disaster of Barnhart's own making and it is time he falls on his sword and retires so the next guy or gal can handle it for the future.

The reason a lot of Kentucky fans dont want to acknowledge the good he has done is because its in things that we dont GAF about.
He has a terrible hire in both of the two sports we actually do care about AND a terrible contract with each of the good hires. If you can even credit Cal as his hire.

I like your idea even better. My thinking was that maybe Rodriguez hits his block/breaks through his coverage and is open, but Law’s speed on the outside is probably more dependable.
Not once, but twice we went under center, which we never do, and ran the ball straight up the middle for no gain on 3rd and 4th down.
Not once, but twice we kicked a field goal with 15 seconds left despite having plenty of time to take a shot at the end zone.
Not once, but twice we gave up long punt returns when Texas' offense couldn't even get across the 50. Both of those returns lead to scoring drives.
It's like the staff got hit by a neuralyzer at half time because when the exact situation that failed in first half came up again in the second half nothing changed. That's coaching malpractice.

I think this all goes back to what Matt says about Stoops not having a real philosophy on what to do and sticking to it. It’s always just a roll of the dice and it’s amazing how many times he makes the wrong call. Goes when he shouldn’t, punts when he should go, plays hurry up, kills the ball…and it all seems like it’s a flip of the quarter.
Would have loved to see that play where you line up in the gun, direct snap to the RB( preferably McGowan) the QB jumps with his hands raised like it’s a high snap. Or like others have mentioned some type of boot/roll with Boley.
We lined up under center like we’re the f’ing 85 Bears against one of the best Dlines in CFB. Good grief

Florida doesn't want to hire a non Power 5 coach if possible so that rules out Golesh, Sumrall, etc.
They obviously want Kiffin and I'd say there's about a 90% chance he takes it. He was all but gone to Auburn a few years ago but his daughter who was in high school talked him out of it (she's in college now).
If for whatever reason it doesn't work out, they might try to get Freeman next then Drinkwitz.
Ole Miss would consider Freeman, Dillingham (AZ ST) and their DC Golding among others.

My dad said the foundation for Saturday night's overtime disaster was laid when Higgs was stuffed in a similar situation back in 87. He's not saying it was Higgs' fault, nor Jerry Claiborne's. It was actually AD Cliff Hagan's fault. That son of a ***** didn't support football the way UK should have and we've been dealing with the fall out since.
Why would Freeman leave ND for anything but a very top tier job? He has a cake walk to the playoff every single year.
I'd argue that specializing in basketball was the way to go.
Higgs was stopped at the goal line several times against Tennessee.

I can't IMAGINE the @SS chewing that various IT folks that maintain Amazon Web Services are getting right now after it sh*t the bed early this morning. It all runs on DynamoDB which crapped out around midnight, and it's impossible to know how many services are third partied to them, that customers aren't even aware of.
I said this exact thing during the game. When it comes to making a crucial decisions he somehow always makes the wrong one.
Florida is a better job in a better conference with a much better recruiting base and they'll be able to increase his salary quite a bit. Big difference is Florida gets 53 million in revenue sharing vs 30 million for Notre Dame. TV contracts are about the same.
Penn State wants him too and isn't the same caliber of job obviously but they have the money to throw at him. He's had some NFL interest as well.
Names being floated for Penn State are Freeman, Ruhle and Diaz; for Va Tech it's Franklin and Golesh among others.
Some other league shake ups-Auburn coming soon and LSU could consider buying out Brian Kelly even at 58 million. SC fans are frustrated with Beamer (I wonder if that would put him in play for Va Tech).
Auburn wants Franklin, Sumrall, Mullen, Jimbo, Key (Ga Tech), etc.
I vaguely recall that UT game with Higgs as I was a young lad at the time but I believe he was stopped on 4 straight downs at the GL.

Ocho was at the game. Sat in the student section. He asked instead of being in a box, put him in the student section. He knows a little about football.
I personally was not affected, but it’s causing so much chaos across multiple industries from several people I’ve communicated with today (including the lass’ office).
Was it a DDOS attack or something?
I don't think it was. If it had been I'm pretty sure they'd have said so. More likely it a was patch/upgrade that took a dump when they applied it. It makes me glad that I'm out of that now. There's really no way to describe the horror you feel when that happens, and you know that the non-stop flood of angry callers is coming.
Stoops would definitely benefit from the George Costanza school of whatever you're thinking of doing, do the opposite.
Amazon outage affecting Ticketmaster. Can't find my tickets in my account. Called UK and said outage affecting a lot of items.
I feel like a kid waiting for their county to come across the bottom of the screen for a snow day. I suppose sometime eventually I will see that Stoops has been fired, resigned, amicably separated, or something.
My dad was all over it. Was texting me about it moments after we missed on 4th down. That's some serious Kentucky football-induced trauma!
You're going to feel like a kid who got coal for Christmas because I don't think it's going to happen.
Jeff Bezos be like, “I’m glad I sold my ‘online, garage book store.’”I don't think it was. If it had been I'm pretty sure they'd have said so. More likely it a was patch/upgrade that took a dump when they applied it. It makes me glad that I'm out of that now.

(Then got divorced and remarried a chick with huge, fake tits. But I digress.)
-Assuming we don't do something crazy in the next 4-5 weeks, I don't see a path forward for either side. UT and Vandy murk us and it's not really a decision. Saturday's nut punch put the apathy meter on 1000%. It'll turn to anger after a pissed off UT puts up 60. Sure the buyout is nuts but it's not like you're saving money by bringing him back. 2-10 or 3-9 and you can't go into next season with Stoops as the Coach. After his words Saturday, I don't sense he wants that. There can't be many examples of a coach righting the ship in a similar situation.
-One solid pitch we'll have to a potential hire, we already have a pretty damn good KY Born starting QB. Not a bad way to get started.
-Colorado State would be one to watch with Stoops. I think his family is still out there.
-Florida is probably a better job than ND but not by much. Not to mention, Florida has a history of chewing up really good coaches, for whatever reason.

sure, he knows football. They were on there talking about UK FOOTBALL and how Stoops should be the coach etc…they don’t know UK football nor should they be telling UK football fans what we should think about the situation. Of that, they have no idea.
Later on in that segment, they started looking at the numbers/records, and started to back off of that.
Sharpe thought that the realistic expectation at Kentucky should be 8 - 4
What in the piss did they do to the 4runner?
2.4 turbo with 8spd.....WHAT IN THE F DID THEY JUST DO TO PERHAPS THE GOATEST SUV OF ALL TIME.
I passed a brand new TRD Pro with black plastic fenders on it.
