Why the East should be scared of UK

[tntuk]

I'm realistic. You're jumping depending on week to week.

Congrats on being realistic. When UK wins 8 this year, I hope that realism smacks you in the face.

Again, when we produce to a respectable SEC Level, I will be good. Beating teams with horrible records, new coaches, while begging for 6 wins? I won't.

It's that simple. Produce to the level we are capable of, or STFU.

I don't see what the misunderstanding is.

You stfu.

There is no misunderstanding - you're an idiot and trolling hard tonight.

You can call whatever you want. We don't have the talent level of UGA or UT. and the point spread on the line proves that.

If we win great. But if you're expecting it, you could be highly disappointed. If we lose to UT and UGA convincingly, you will disappear. I'll be here win or lose.

You'll be here win or lose, bitching the entire time.

It's still my opinion that it's all smoke and mirrors. U.K. Has not beat a reputable team. Our wins are of late are against down sec programs that won't stay down. Nothing would make me happier than being wrong. But I probably won't be.

We've beat South Carolina, vandy, and Missouri. We've lost to southern miss, and probably will lose to UT and UGA.

We are just taking advantage of of a down east. It won't stay down forever. Stoops is fools Gold.

Will I take it? Sure. Will it last? Probably not.

I'm not going to jump for joy
Over a few mediocre wins when I know the end result with a stoops led team is average results. I wish I could, but I can't.

Wake me up when uk gets past 8 wins (including a bowl). That is the measuring stick for success. That is the mark we were nearly at when the SEC is normal, like in 2007.

I don't disagree with you. The East has been down.....really since Tebow left Florida and Kiffin burnt Knoxville to the ground. Richt was the final straw. We've done nothing. Hell we've been the worst of the bunch.

The key difference here is that Franklin won back to back 9 game seasons at Vandy because of it. Missouri let Georgia crap the bed and went to Atlanta twice. What were we doing that whole time? Some people are confusing Kentucky taking advantage of the situation with actually being good. We're not good, but we have improved and if it helps stabilize a solid recruiting class and swings some difference makers our way...you start to see us getting back to the foundation where we can have a team as talented ad the 2007 squad. That team would rattle off 9-11 wins with this schedule, no question.

We're making a bowl, which is a step forward and reasonable should now be okay with another season with this staff. I'd hesitate to say more than that because our success has been against bad teams, and they've all been close games, last week being an exception. We're improving, let's just hope that continues.

You're miserable.

I suppose this is nit picking but talent, except in Alabama's case, is just a fan's opinion not always translated to the field. Case in point a qb and nose tackle at UK.

I agree few are scared but many have become more cautious

Neither of whom have finished their careers at UK yet,, quite a bit of mystery about how Barker's career will end IMO.

In any case next years QB play should be improved, if Barker returns to his 1st half of the year form (with even better support) we could see amazing improvement, if not Johnson should be much better and our redshirt should be serviceable and available even if only for backup duty. And we have promising talent on the way..

Yep. First poster I've had to use the "ignore" option on.

Just like in basketball, if Kentucky had always been successful, this state would produce top football recruits. It's not a coincidence that Ohio, Florida and Alabama produce top football talent every year. Also, Kentucky wouldn't need to worry about Louisville either.

Huh? Then why doesn't the state produce more basketball talent?
The lack of talent is more demographics related than success/failure of UK related. Culture is a component but there aren't any states with like demographics to Ky that are producing top talent.
