This Board is Ridiculous

Please take your undying adulation for Petrino to the UL board. He's not here , nor will he ever be here.
^ worst post in board history. With this take, leave and don't come back.
The daisy pusher thinks when UK wins:
"Damn, the Cats won, I need to find SOMETHING to be negative about."
"Damn, the Cats won, I need to find SOMETHING to be negative about."
I am an old long time poster. I have seen lots of bad football. Many of you are more interested in a coaching search than seeing any improvement in this team. Let's evaluate at the end of the season and cheer them on for now. Honestly, it would be good to shut this board down for a while.
Yeah you sold me, as he hasn't got the track record of leaving places as soon as something better comes available. Guess he is truly a changed man and loyal to his school, bosses, and players.
Guy hasn't stayed anywhere long, and you think he wouldnt leave Kentucky to go to back to Louisville or anywhere else seen as a better job? Believe it or not Kentucky is not his dream job like some people make it out to be.
Yea Kyle Bolin and Reggie Bonnafan were lighting it up last year. Bobby is a very good play caller but Lamar Jackson didn't need his to win the Heisman other than finally making the decision to play him.

Generally speaking these are not UK fans. They are internet creeps with minuscule knowledge of football or life. They are neither clever or intelligent with IQs below body temp. Normal people don't act that way.
All along, I have predicted 4-5 wins this year, and I am still thinking that way. The rest of what you say is true. The part you left out is that some of our fans are negative and mean every week, win or lose. We won the football game. But if you look at this board this morning, you would think we just lost. People who "know next to nothing about football", as you put it, are posting "overwhelming negativity" on an open access chat board. It seems compulsive behavior, so you just have to assume it is a metaphor for their own state of mind over the years.
This statement is so false it's not funny. Petrino has no history of building anything anywhere. He was handed a solid program at UL, an even better situation at Arkansas, and an even better situation at UL when he returned. I can guarantee you he would have struggled if he came to UK four years ago. Don't get me wrong he is a great coach and has probably the best offensive mind in college football but like anything in life timing is important and Bobby has had perfect timing with every coaching job he has taken.
Say what you will about Mark, and trust me I want him to succeed here, if he doesn't make it and a change has to be made Stoops has helped to get this program back up to speed. Don't know if Petrino would have got the backing to get the new facilities built and I don't think he could have recruited at the same level Stoops has.
This is the only ethical stance on having Petrino as a coach. The man is a philandering cad, a common human failing, but still one that should warrant scrutiny for a man who is tasked with leading young men. More serious is the fact that he kept his mistress on the Arkansas payroll, effectively using tax dollars to subsidize his affair, and then lied to the police to cover up that fact. That latter two actions are not mere moral failings, they are legal ones as well. If you or I had done the same, we would have gone to jail and been permanently driven from public life. You would never accept your local school hiring a criminal that weaseled his way out of charges. Why would a football coach--a man paid far more money--be held to a lesser standard? As it is now, Kentucky residents have to live with the shame that our tax dollars are paying for the lavish lifestyle of a common criminal. That fact alone is nauseating; if he were at UK it would be downright infuriating.
If your counterargument (or rather, excuse) for his employment begins with "everyone does it" or "if you want to win in college football", then there is no need arguing with you. Such intellectual positions indicate a broken moral compass, one that places success in a game above basic ethical considerations. The relationships between the American psyche and organized sports may be diseased, but that doesn't mean that you and I are duty bound to feed the tumor just because it may benefit our team.

Who did you expect to beat OTHER than So. Miss coming into this season that we haven't beat? Everyone was expecting 5-7 wins and progress. That is exactly what we are getting. If we beat UT or UGA would you be happy or would you just say they're terrible too?
wake up, UK will never be zip w/o a QB and the only time the teams ever been worth a damn is when it had a well developed one. so why hire a guy who can't make that happen. asinine.
and thank you pumpers for the long list of excuses why we haven't had one under this coach.
Well said! I agree with you! For those of you who want an instance success, you can cheer for that team up the road (Louisville) and all the baggage that goes with them!
This is a typical Wildcat Lair post these days. Basically this guy is suggesting the school could save a lot of time and money by forfeiting every game in which we aren't favored.
Amen, this might be the worst Board in Division 1 sports for fair weather, hateful, and basically dumb posters. I believe half of them are U of L posters.
Personally, I thought we would have a five-win season, with fingers crossed for that elusive sixth. The run game has improved and the defense is getting better. With that being said, I find it hard to believe we will get six wins this year while only throwing for 50 yards a game, even against the worst SEC defenses. Meaning we probably end the season 5-7, which is status quo for this coaching staff. That doesn't make me a hater and doesn't mean I wont pull like hell for them every game the rest of the way. It's just how I see the current reality of our program.
NO, it is guys like you that amaze me! Unless you haven't noticed, BOTH Vandy and SC have awful(just like UK) offenses and we struggled to be them both. Here is the deal ...unless MS has a transformation and adopts a 2016 offensive philosophy he will not win at UK.
You talk about others, really? Read your post again. It is people like you and your ilk along with this ad that keeps this program from moving to a different level.
- "overwhelming negativity"...the fact that we have a board that is busy despite 60 years of mediocre or less than mediocre football is a testament to this fan base and their undying devotion.
- "...posters who know next to nothing about football or what it takes to maintain a good SEC football program"...maybe every one of us is a mouth breather that'd be hard pressed to chew bubble gum and tie our shoes at the same time, but over the years we've seen about 6-8 other schools build and maintain programs in the conference. Heck even Vandy had a brief little run, and a couple lower-mid tier Big 12 teams came in and did well for a stretch. More scary than the fact that fans don't know football and how to build a program, is the fact that those people getting paid big money and actually responsible for building a football program don't seem to know what to do, and it's been that way for decades. To add salt to the wound, we've seen our rival step right into a P5 conference and become a player on the national scene in a relatively short amount of time.
-"...all those people calling for Barker's head..."...good grief...a large majority of this fan base crowned him the second coming before he set foot on campus and beat the drums for him to play...yeah, when you lose to SMU, barely advance the ball in a blow out at florida, folks are going to have some issues...
there is no candy coating the fact that things were looking grim for the first half of this season.
Sure we're .500 now, and things seem to at least be a bit more manageable from here on out with getting 3 more wins out of the the last 6 games not being out of the realm of possibility.
If this were year 1 or 2, I'd agree that people need to simmer down, but this is year 4 and to start it we were looking at a potential disaster.
Anything less than 6 wins is a step backwards, and plenty of reason to be negative.
Not trying to fight but chances of us beating UT and UGA are slim to none. I feel your pain when I read your posts but I just can't agree with them. I go to the games and watch them on TV so trust me when I say that I pull for them every game. That doesn't mean that I'm blind because I still have to agree that we should be way more competitive in year four.
Lolololol....u are delusional...I can't take $ from a person who might be borderline "nuts"....but I HOPE u are right
You see a lot of emotions on this board, people are emotionally invested and even Stoops has said he is not where he would like to be. As for calling out players heads thats just juvenile thats the coaches responsibility to handle. As far as Stoops on the defensive side, why did it take him 4 years to see Elliot was not getting the job done ?
Holding onto a VANDY win at home after being up like we were is part of the problem, what happened to the offense ? Thats where I become frustrated in year 4.
I agree we are seeing some improvements but not enough in year 4 IMO.
Nah, I'd just say buckkiller is a pansy, that doesn't know Jack shat about football, just wants to be a miserable bastard that wishes others to wallow in his misery with him. So get over your dumbass self.
If you can't see improvement in this team, you are blind as hell.
I LOVE my team , just don't see this team getting there going forward unless the offense can start helping out...must get to that 30ppg plateau going forward
What about year 4, with losses to southern miss, last years loss to WKU, and having to REMOVE WKU because our administration isn't sure if we can beat them?
4th year, no better than we were in year 2.
We need a change or the mediocrity will only continue.

AMJ, I hope your right, but I doubt we will get to 7. It's not the fans fault that Stoops didn't like the system of Dawson. Why didn't he hire Gran to start with. I think most fans support Coach Stoops, but we also expect him to produce, which he hasn't so far. All of us want success, and if he can't get it, we want him out of here. Were tired of excuses, and inability to produce. He's getting a lot of money to build a winner, and this is his 4th year, his recruits, and so far he hasn't lived up to most fans expectations. Oh, by the way, do you want salt and pepper with your Crow.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Plus every snap Jackson is taking could well be vacated at seasons end
