Let's not let this incredibly awesome thread go off the rails. And yes,Just ignore the post if you think it's ridiculous. Responding keeps it alive and ignoring it will let it die. ;-)
I am not posting a lot, but reading these really good insights.
After media day today, I am a little more optimistic about our defense. Nothing really specific, but just something about the way Brad White was talking. Hope I’m right!
4 weeks and 1 day to go....

Side note: Another comment like the one made that got deleted will absolutely result in a ban. Not having that type of stuff this year. Respect opinions without responding with insults or you won’t last long. It’s silly to insult someone just because of a differing opinion.
Thanks everybody. Let’s make this the best football message board in the country.

Love the potential of our RB room, looks like depth with talent.
Been traveling today, sorry for the delayed response.
Offer accepted at 9-2 going into the regular season finale vs the Cards.
Edit to add that if we go 9-2 this is a bet I’ll be happy to lose.

I love ball control offense, I just don't like watching Stoops's brand of ball control offense.
Discipline. If Stoops has instilled a good amount into this team and they execute then I seriously think they could go 8-4. If it's the usual clown show then you can flip that to 4-8 or worse.
The other thing on my mind is injuries. We are paper thin on defense. The Oline isn't much better. We could have a great team get derailed by the inevitable.
Special Teams everything.
I'm also a Boley should start guy. I just think he has a much better upside.
I cannot wait for football to kickoff. I'm even down to watching NFL pre season to cure the summertime sports withdrawals.

IMO everything will depend on the OL. If the front 5 can hold their own, then the TEs can be involved in the passing game. If the TEs need to stay in to help, then I see defenses stacking the box making it tough to run or pass.
I want to see how Calzada does at QB and if the offense can show some improvement. If that happens I can see a bowl game.
Seems to me, both side is ahead of schedule
I see a very, very different floor. But I admit to not being an optimist anymore about UK football...which you most certainly are if your post is serious.
I hope you are the one proven right.
UK and MSU, I believe, were the only SEC teams that received no votes in the premier coaches poll.
The long and short of how FB trends going forward is passing game and skill positions.
CMS hasn’t seen a QB sniff 3,000 yds, 1000 yd WR, or TE who can get 400-500+ yds…
All pretty much bare minimum requirements to compete with rank n file and stay in the middle class…let alone sniff around the big boys and hope for any kind of good bowl.

Yet CMS has won more games at UK than any other coach at UK CF history. No other coach at UK has won more games in the last 4 seasons (28) than any other coach in UK history. Ther are 134 division 1 CF teams most have not played in a "good bowl". Stoops did win three good bowls in 2021, Citrus 2020 Gator and 2019 beat a great Pen state team.
You're a little off. The trenches will determine our success. Last year would have looked much different with a pass rush and better Oline play.
Don’t disagree with trenches. Especially pass pro.
However we’ve had good trenches, we’ve had good run games, we’ve had good Ds, we’ve had good recruiting and talent overall.
CMS has been okay to even pretty good in improving all of the above.
However it has all amounted to a .500 record, and abysmal conference record. Due in large part be cause he hasn’t been able to recruit, develop, and coach passing game.
Yeah he’s the winningest coach but he’s also had more time than anyone.
Got to move the ball and score via the air or it’s going to be tough to get back to 6-7 wins let alone sniff around 8,9,10 dubs…

I will have to say I give all of you an A for optimism. I think by the end of the season this team will have crashed, burned, and packed it in early. We don’t have Jimmy’s or Joes and we have a vanilla coach who tried to bolt a couple of seasons ago. We get to see the Basketball Season Train Wreck we would have had and the Fans revolt had Calipari not left and gone to Arkansas. I’m afraid this won’t be Pretty.
This is the time of year all fans are optimistic for the year, everyone is undefeated with a shot at the playoffs.
Texas has to replace alot on offense, but they will put the most hyped QB in recent memory on the field, but have to replace a good bit of the OL. They lose some defensive stats but will be replacing it with other talented players.
Bama will have a new OC, new QB, but return a great WR and arguably the top OL in the SEC
TENN, lost alot of offensive production, most of their OL, their defense took a big hit as well. It appears they also have a locker room in some turmoil.
AU is odd, they will have a new QB, a top flight WR group, but not sure their defense is as good as their norm.
I think OM lost more than anyone in the SEC on the defensive side, dont think they will be on same level defensively as last year, or offensively either.
UF will go as Lagway goes, he is a scarey dude at QB. With him they have a shot at anyone, without him, anyone can beat them, nothing behind him.
USCjr, same as UF, their QB.
UGA will be starting alot of new guys on offense, likely 2 transfer WR, QB, 2-3 OL, RB. Defensively there will be new starters at all levels, but most have played a good bit.
I dont know much about the rest and you guys know much more about UK than me.

Yes and we can easily win 5 of those games: OM, SC, Auburn, Tenn. and Florida. At the very least they are toss-ups. I'll be extremely disappointed in anything less than 8 wins.
Leary would be no less successful if he played QB blindfolded. I can’t believe he was drafted — especially by the Ravens, who rarely make personnel mistakes. WTF did they see in him?
I’m more optimistic today than I would have thought I would be at this time a few months ago.
Must not have any bad injuries on the line. (Don’t want them anywhere).
Need to see a team willing to proverbially punch guys in the mouth while avoiding penalties.
Right now, getting bowl eligible sounds good, but if we get off to a good start, I’ll be looking for 8 or 9. Oh. Gotta beat those stinking birds down the road.

New season, new team. Like Lou Holtz said…”you bring a new team to the ball park every weekend”
So the fans of every team should be excited right now
I suggest you guys go back and read the original post. Let's make the board enjoyable instead of posting something that isn't constructive to add to the conversation. Respond with substance, disagree respectfully, or move past the post. It really is not that difficult.
I'd rather read and enjoy instead of moderate. ;-)
Blessings, and Go Cats!
The poster referred to the coach as "Vanilla" and concluded we'd crash and burn due to a lack of Jimmys and Joes. Using prejorative language which lacks the "substance".
Tic-Tock-Tic-Tock...we're getting closer to game day. Come on Fall...get here already.
Got a report from an insider on the DLine. He said they’re small but super talented and deep. He said they are UKs best position group as a unit.
