    I hope Ray Davis doesn't transfer back to Vandy before we play them this year.

    It’s always funny to see posters that never post come out of the woodwork when things get rough. Then post crazy stuff like this.

    4 really good games on D, then one bad one, and you're ready to say that? The dude is 30 years old... our defense is probably the youngest we've ever had. I don't think it's quite time to give up on AA just quite yet.... SMH.

    In what world should we have won that game? Seriously.

    The only world we should have won that game in is because our name is Florida and theirs is Kentucky. Kentucky has been a better program than Florida for the past four or five years.

    Yeah, lol. "I don't think we could beat an FCS team at this point". Do people even think before they post? I need to go back and check my records, but didn't we play an FCS team this year?

    No anger for KY, but just some perspective. When KY ends up losing 4 games or so this season, you will be no worse off than usual and that's a successful season. Once you start beating UGAG or Bama and getting to the SEC championship, or dare I say win one, these types of losses will hurt more. If you've never been to the mountain top you don't know what you're missing. (how many times UK has won the SEC is ... and what year that was?)

    Sorry, not saying throw him out too. Just really really really disappointed that his squad did so poorly v the run and he had no answer for it. Stunned by how poorly they did.

    Sad state of affairs. We’ve consistently recruited better than UK. I get our guys are young, but this was unacceptable IMO. Kentucky, really?

    Kentucky has the line play we wish we had.

    How would we have won that game?

    Better players doesn't make a better team.

    Armstrong is young, but that shouldn't have been an excuse. Leary is a terrible thrower, we could have went to a bear front and challenged Leary to beat us throwing ( after seeing Davis gouge us).

    On Leary, i don't see KY beating UGA if KY is one dimensional. KY will need him to throw and i have doubts as to how good he is.

    OC won't happen (if Napier decides to) until the off season. ST should be done ASAP.

    I think the O scheme is OK, but one move that would be an immediate benefit is to jettison the slow play action. Most every time Mertz puts his back to the D and drops back and turns around, he is in trouble. No more back to the D.

    It's going to be interesting to see how CBN handles the adversity he is dealing with, whether he can make the necessary changes to counteract the problems he has. I'm hoping for the best but no guarantees

    Not sure I have felt as lousy about a loss in a while. Being older I usually can shake a loss pretty easily but today is really bad . I want Billy to be successful here. Great dude but playing like this … I have a lot of concerns

    We are a very young team, do they rally or sink?

    Someone needs to inject emotion into the system
