Helluva a job by this staff. U of L has much better, veteran players right now. That may be changing though.

Where's the poster who kept calling for a FAN BOYCOTT??
I take back every negative thing I've said about him. For this team to go 7-3 after starting off 0-2 is unbelievable.
Yep. Got to hand to stoops for making some good play calls as well. They went in to win not just to keep it close.
Thanks coach stoops, staff, and players. If their is one thing this season has taught me as a fan, it is to be patient. They stayed the course and have built us into a solid football program. I'm happy for all of the BBN!
How about player appreciation
Ill give stoops credit for recruiting them. but save a lamar fumble and stoops conservativism at end of games costs us again. im happy as hell and agree this solidifies stoops position but he HAS to learn to stop being so conservative at the end.

He kept the team focused during hard times. That's the mark of a good coach.
This game and the overall improvement during the year (after an 0-2) pushed me off the fence Stoops' way.
I haven't been real critical but wasn't totally sold either. Great job by our coach.

Gameplan. Execution. it was all there. not all the nagging issues of the season fixed, but worked around excellently. sig win for sure.
For you to be miserable after a win like this tell us what kind of person you are....Truly insufferable and miserable POS.
Thanks to Jordan Jones for a season of busting his ***!
Got to say Stoops and crew and players did a great job today, going into the ville and winning. I am eating crow..
I'm not miserable, just calling out hypocrites.
CMS had this team ready not just to play but WIN.
And they did !
And they did !
I have supported Stoops from the beginning. And I said early on that Gran is a great coach. Before he ever coaches a down here. So glad we are going to get a chance to see that now.
It's so nice for us pro Stoops posters to be vindicated. I can't wait for what Stoops will lead this team to over the next few years.
I don't mind saying I've had serious doubts about CMS the last couple years. However, he clearly has this thing trending up and I'd be saying that even if we had lost today.
You really deserve the win today. I have seen you try and reason with the "Coach is an underachiever" fans and I'm glad the win will shut them up for now.
He has earned some criticism in his first 4 years, and I have been a vocal critic, but this win is a game-changer. It's the first big "meaningful" win in his tenure and it was amazing to watch. Huge win by stoops and he gets a ton of credit for turning it around after an 0-2 start.
hes building a program here. many of us have been saying it all season. too bad so many already gave up on him.
Well, I'm willing to publicly eat crow. I was one of the anti-Stoops crowd from the first day he was hired. Didn't believe in the man, didn't believe in his program, and I only got louder as the years went by.
I was wrong. The man made something out of nothing, in spite of a slew of injuries and the never-ending struggle to recruit a sound QB. I will have nothing negative to say about Stoops for at least a year, and I'll keep negative commentary inside a quota during the year after.
GO CATS!

Outstanding job keeping these kids focused and moving forward...I had given up I admit it....THEY DID NOT!!!
Stoops has worked his @$$ off, sure he has made some miscues but man it sweet to get 7 on that W today.
Won 7 of last 10
Seriously If you don't give SEC coach of the year to saban as you cld every year...stoops may get it

All I have ever said that he should be given 5 years to turn it around! It takes that long in football! We lost a couple that we should have won. You have to give him credit for getting rid of Shannon Dawson and hiring Eddie Gran and Hinshaw!
Here...Here! Coach Stoops (or his OC) play calling is a bit questionable at times. When there are 7-8 defenders in the box why run the Wildcat (and we have 4-5 receivers in the pattern)? If you are trying to kill clock...run on 1st down. The players were great. You knew UL's defense was suspect after the last 4 games. We got some breaks...but I am tickled to death we did. However, when he called Wildcat when it was 2nd and 13...I almost lost my television...and we lost the ball. Thank the almighty for the UL fumble! Go Cats!
Yep. And defense was reminding me of Georgia game. But hey we pulled it out. I hope stoops has learned from this year and takes us to great heights next year. I'm pulling for him.
We are at or ahead of schedule given the mess he inherited. Next year will be the first year he plays with four classes made entirely of his recruits. The future looks bright and props to Stoops and the team for sticking with their plan despite the speedbumps.
