The most unforgivable thing about all this...

[pascat]

...is the fact that most of Kentucky's football players are playing with no heart or pride. Kentucky does not have SEC talent all over the field, but there is enough talent to be competitive in more games than they have been.

Lord knows UK generally doesn't stack up against most SEC teams talent wise. Which is exactly why they must try that much harder against SEC teams to stand a chance. I CAN UNDERSTAND UK GETTING OUTCLASSED. I CANNOT TOLERATE UK GETTING OUTWORKED.

To look so utterly defeated and beaten on every play. To point fingers at teammates instead of picking each other up. To mope. To lose focus. To not get up for playing Florida. Or Louisville. Or Southern Miss. How is this possible? How can a team be so impossibly temperamental, losing all focus and drive when the slightest bit of difficulty is encountered. This Kentucky team has the maturity of a class of first graders.

Mark Stoops is not a great coach. He might not even be a good coach. But he sure as heck knows more about football than what results he is getting. For that reason, I am way less angry about his tactics than I am about his inability to get anything out of his players.

I'd let Jordan Jones show up to practice on Monday and lock the rest of this spoiled, lazy, immature team the hell out all week.

UK has to be hitting on all cylinders to be competitive , I don't know why players are competing but that alone will destroy any chance of winning . I could speculate but there's no point as it could be anything , it's not a good situation right now .

They quit 3-4 earlier than usual this year.

Dorian Baker??? Must have something to do with him...he plays we quit

On one of the Florida TD throws where there was a WR and a TE completely isolated because our DBs bit on the screen fake, one of our DBs started to point fingers and work his jaw.

Right now both the offense and defense are frustrated with themselves and with each other. Perfect recipe for a locker room mutiny.

Yep. This is what bothers me the most. If we played hard and disciplined, I would still be behind this team.

I could live with being 0-2, but the way that we've lost these games we might as well be 0-12. I know New Mexico State isn't that good, but if we don't put out the effort, and we look like the jacked up mess we have been so far, it'll be a lot closer than what anyone could imagine.

There is lack of leadership at the top, there is nobody to follow, you play like your coach, and that is what you are seeing now.

Other than jones, the best effort was from stenberg when he late hit the punt returner, (why is stenberg on the punt team?) from stenberg angle it looked like the carrier was still up. At that point in the game I would have given stenberg a high 5 in the locker room, but instead he got a public verbal beats down from our coach. I wouldn't play for the man either.

Pretty bad when you don't want to wear your UK gear in public with a football team like this!

You are seeing results of the same infection that tore through team morale last year. Obviously shedding Dawson and Towles did not fix it. The administration and Mitch have little to do with a player's decision to quit on the field. That's between him and his teammates and his coaches and no amount of money will fix that. You can be outmatched and out manned and still have a fire in your belly. Friends, right now, there is no fire.

Need to be as motivated about football as they are about they're dancing. Lot of talk without the walk!
