It's harder to see a path to get to six without Vanderbilt. UK should be able to beat Louisville, but being a rivalry game, really anything can happen...not exactly the type of game you want to depend on to make it to a bowl game.

Let's see...Charlie Bradshaw wasn't a world-beater; John Ray was definitely worse; JP was worse...not a good coach and obviously didn't recruit well; Curry probably knew a lot about Football but not a good coach at Ky. Not sure where you put CMS in there, but definitely not at the bottom.

I dont think there is a chance we beat UL. This team is in shambles.....we havent blown anyone out, and almost lost to EKU (which apparently wasnt a fluke). Ill actually be glad once football season ends.

I do not think we win 6.

For whatever reason, I think the best shot, is Barker playing the entire game against Charlotte - and playing well. Then, getting the nod against Louisville and having a real break-out game.

Towles, sadly, looks disoriented out there, and the receivers don't help him much either.

I don't know anything about Charlotte however I am expecting a win. UL on the other hand has shown improvement after starting 0-3 and even though we have them at home, I honestly do not believe we will win that game. UL offense has not looked great this season, however they are going against our defense. UL defense looks good at times, however our offense looks horrible most of the time. Anything can happen on the FB field however I am once again expecting this team to finish with just 5 wins. If this do finish the season 1-1 in the last 2 games, this season has be looked upon as a failure and a step back for the program. Then the will work will begin, convincing the players that verbally committed to stay on board and hopefully we can pick up a few that we did not expect to get.

The Louisville game will be interesting. Last year our players looked defeated going into the UL game and I thought we had no chance and that we would get beaten pretty badly. However, we actually should have won that game and we played a lot better and looked a lot different in that game than we had in other games. Will our team do the same thing this year or will continue to look inept?

Guess we will see if they learned their lesson of not overlooking teams.
Do you really think we overlooked Vandy? How can Kentucky overlook anyone. We have been the whipping boy in all of college football forever. We didn't overlook them, we just got our asses kicked by them. And, we haven't learned any lessons all year that I can tell.

My bad. Surely this team doesn't think it is better than anyone it plays.
The never should. I don't care how good we are and how bad they are. I am old school in the thought that you NEVER overlook an opponent.

...The funny thing is you said "I don't care how good we are......" I am closer to 80 than 70 and since I've been a fan we have never been good enough to overlook the worst team on our schedule. .

WESTERN Kentucky beat Vandy. EASTERN Kentucky nearly beat UK. That says it all. We have a coach who cannot. So there is no reason to get excited about our second tier program. Another trip to the Stinky Underwear Bowl in Nashville is meaningless.

Stoops is a fine recruiter. But he can't coach, nor hire assistants who can. There is nothing wrong with that. Some people are meant to be lifetime assistants. There is a reason he had never been a head coach. EVER.

Any game you have a chance and UK could beat UL with a Bowl on the line. With that said looking through my Red tinted glasses I don't think UL is a good match up for UK. The UK defense is not very good so UL should be able to score and the UL defense is all about pressure on the QB. If a team has a good O line like UVA, FSU and Houston our secondary give up big plays but the UK O line has given up a lot of sacks and that plays into what UL does well.

No way we beat Louisville. If we can't beat Vandy we sure can't beat Louisville.
5 wins
7 losses
And you football enthusiasts wonder why we can't wait for basketball. You
7-5 and 8-4 people had me convinced we'd get to a bowl. I'll not believe again until I see the results on the field.

Who here thinks we get 6 wins this season?

I do......

If we cannot beat UL at home this season, Stoops is the worst coach in UK history.

No chance. If they can't beat Vanderbilt, they're not beating Louisville. They have looked like crap the last month. After that last drive in the Auburn game, it was just all down hill.

I have seen these predictions every year and every single time sunshine pumpers torture themselves with unrealistic expectations. Unfortunately this is the identity of Kentucky football. We might win the occasional game against a respectable opponent but we always lose to the usual suspects and choke away a lot more.

Short of getting the booster's pockets of Alabama and LSU to buy a ton of talent, nothing significantly is changing.

old Bobby P sat back and watched that cluster of a game the other day and fell out of his chair laughing. Oh he will have his team high and wouldn't doubt some trick plays as our coaching staff is to dumb to see them coming. He thinks he can beat KY just by his coaching over our coach

A lot more than you bb only folks will ever know...UK is a sleeping program with the right person at the helm and a fanbase that would be as rabid as any in the country...WE HAD MORE FOLKS IN NASHVILLE TONIGHT THAN VANDY DID...Hell their fans were leaving in the fourth qtr. and KENTUCKY fans were staying..

We have great road fans always have.

UL had a front end loaded schedule and have not gotten that much better. Their coach is very good. They are very young. It comes down to the last game. I feared it would.

We have left touchdowns all over every field in the SEC

We have them at home, they are marginal and we need tto put a freaking. 4 quarter game together.

We Win.....go to the ********* bowl in south deficAte, MS and beat Tulsa, or maybe Southern Oregon

So many opportunities, squandered by poor coaching decisions....
