And the quality we played compared to them isn't close. Also, we didn't win 9 games and people hyping us as some amazing team. Southern miss is garbage against decent teams. Look deeper into their stats.

Look deeper into their stats.Are you talking about us or Southern Miss? Nevermind, I looked it up. The record of teams we beat was 20-39.
There is this dichotomy among UK football fans. Some of us want to schedule enough crappy teams to get to a bowl game, but remain the laughing stock of the SEC. Others want us to get to the point where we actually compete in the SEC. Everyone here seems to be much younger than me because they look so fondly of the Brooks years as if we were good at football because we scheduled ourselves into bowl games. Sure, there was an occasional big upset (think 2007), but by and large, even in our bowl seasons we sucked against SEC teams other than the other bottom feeders. I would rather build the program, play good teams, be tough like we were in the late 70s and 80s, and actually build a program than can compete. That is why I like our current coaches. They are actually recruiting SEC talent that we have not signed in many years. We can make fun of UL all we want, but in the last 25 years, they have been willing to play good teams and have gotten better doing it, and have beat SEC teams in bowl games. We can't beat SEC teams at home. The bigger problem is not scheduling ourselves into a bowl game hurts recruiting. I'm not really sure of the answer, but I know I don't enjoy getting ridiculed when we go to a bowl, but are 2-6 or 3-5 in the conference and we act like we are good.
WKU beat them by 17 points last year and Mississippi State beat them by 18. That is only holding your own for UK fans.I wouldn't exactly say garbage...I thought USM held their own versus Nebraska, MSU, Washington, and WKU. We'll see how they look this evening...
who ya got next week?We aren't losing, people need to quit freaking out over this game.
Doesn't matter, I hope y'all win it all this year. I'm no longer a UK football fan.who ya got next week?
Stick to basketball there wonder boy. Football ain't your strong suitWant a cookie? I bet you won't be back here Sunday.
It is not that they played great in second half, we sucked. We have for 30 yearsI called this. I knew Southern Miss was a tough team. Give them props for a good Second half. We need the first half UK team for the rest of the year.
