I'm sorry, I just wonder how some of these people sleep at night.

Life must be miserable for them.


Life is realistic Junior. Most of us have watched and discussed UK football longer than you have been alive.

Good for you and your optimism but we have been through this many times with multiple coaches.

My son is 2 years older than you and a Creeker, he's much like you and that's ok.

Just remember others have different opinions and many are based upon more than just hope.

6-6 and a bowl will be outstanding for me.

7 win regular season and Barney will hand out lifetime contracts to the staff and ball boys.

Tough schedule, new QB, new OC, dline questions, and CMS must not make any game day mistakes.

A solid year this season and the expectations will rise without as many doubters the next couple of years.

DLine questions...,?!?!?? Understatement of the GATDAYYYUM year. We were 110th in the nation against the run last year while allowing 196 ypg.


110th
196.1 ypg



Let that sink in for a second. That was with Jason Hatcher and Melvin Lewis.

We have the same guys.

8 wins? Pssshh.

If Kash, Landon, and Drake play, we can win 8. If they redshirt, it will be like last two years

Not sure that 3 true freshmen can make that kind of input on a football team. With Drake, you have an experienced center (Toth)all ready and if Landon starts the only downside is it means the older guys failed, and Kash will play but the SEC is just hard on true freshmen.

Let me ask you this. Do you think I got a shot with her, or am I being too optimistic?
Depends upon the thickness of your wallet, your chode or your sense of humor - I reckon.

A good post,6-6 is something we should be able to do, one could make the case that it is must get if Stoops is to have a real chance to continue to build a program here. We have to catch and (more importantly) take advantage of a break or two to get there.I think(believe) we have enough tools to get to the 6 win level.

Despite all of the neigh sayers on this topic, I think 8-4 is a real possibility, just not for the reasons I thought were going to happen in July.
