It's lame as hell that the PC police are after the guy over a somewhat sarcastic comment like that. Basically, "do what you've gotta do" to be fired up and rowdy for an afternoon game. Who hasn't brought a flask into a football game and asked for their soda to be light on the ice? Get real.

I think it is mostly a liability thing

Would you rather have stoops tell you how you’ll watch a draw play on 3rd and 25 and like it?

Nah. He said something about sneaking in flasks and yelling at Bama players. But it was all tongue in cheek. He just wants a rowdy atmosphere tomorrow.
Yes he said sneak in flasks and yell obscenities at Alabama .. Who gives a **** we are going to anyway he just said it out loud.... We are crazy and I love Stein and love the energy he brings to the program....

Here is the exact quote


Kentucky football coach Will Stein urged fans to arrive early, "sneak a flask in," and scream obscenities at Alabama to make them feel unwanted at Kroger Field.

I do not think the head coach should be saying the things he is saying. Bring a flask, get plastered, scream obscenities at Alabama. I understand some fans do that anyway but who wants to take their small kids to that type of environment. Nothing I hate more than listening to a lot mouth drunk. Oh, and get off my lawn mother ******. That will be struck but Will Stein gets away with it.

Lighten up don't turn a pea into a mountain . Sarcasm can sometimes come out wrong. We all from time to time stick our foot in our mouth .

You were the kid that always won the Sportsmanship award and your team banquet aren't you?

Only one, I was 12 years old then. I learned early how to win and how to behave. I was smart enough, even then, to know that you do not accomplish much if you have to depend on foul mouthed drunks. I am kidding but , not by much. Stein needs to watch his mouth a little more. I hope his big talk can actually show up on the field.

His comments remind me of Tom Crean before the game at Assembly Hall (minus the alcohol part). Hopefully our students don't act like IU students.

I was worried the flask comment would come back to him. Probably not the smartest thing to say.
Oh please. Harmless.

Guess what else? It’s been happening for years at Commonwealth. From 12-15 years old I schlepped trays of sodas to the furthest reaches of the stadium and do you know how many amateur mixologists asked for only “half filled cokes” or poured half out in front of me? Hollow stadium seats with pour spouts between the legs? Cmon… for as long as it was disallowed people found a way. Even after it’s been allowed and people were charged exorbitant fees for it people found a way. Long before Stein made a joke to fire up the fanbase.

I personally dont mind comments like this from a coach, especially if they do a good job of being light-hearted.

However I also know what type of response this would get if an opposing coach said this.

It doesn’t bother me, but this quote could definitely come back to bite him in the *** if there are any fan incidents tomorrow. It’s the sort of quote that first year coaches full of gusto might say that more experienced coaches know to avoid.

I hope we behave tomorrow.

Not just the flask comment, but also advocating that we scream “obscenities” at the opposing players.

I appreciate his enthusiasm, but that was NOT wise word choice.

I doubt fans with any brain cells would cuss at opposing teams players. Seems like something only the dumb loser part of a fanbase would do.

So I think people know hes kidding around
