SEC GAME THREAD: Kentucky at (6) Ole Miss, Sat. at Noon on ABC

My left nut is a better choice.

 

Lane was probably just distracted, because he is working behind the scenes for the Gators.

 

Yea, Kiffin doesn't fit that good old boy Christian family man that people liked about Napier.

 

Don’t remember.

 

With the talent he could get in the state of Florida, the 7-8 games a year equate to 10-11 games a year.

 

Stoops is a lot like Saban. His teams tend to start off slowly but once they click, that's when they can beat anybody. The issue is peaking too early and injuries that doomed Kentucky late in the season. But I've taken a win away against them, not seeing us beat them if their defense shuts us down because our defense will still give up 30+.

 

If he hired an aggressive OC I think he’d be an improvement here. I think 9+ wins a year would be delightful after the past 3+ seasons.

 

Look at UK's schedule so far. They lost the USCe game because of too many turnovers, including a pick 6. They gave SC a short field to kick a FG and another that ended up being a 43 yard TD drive. Take all that away, and the game is much closer. But besides that game, they shutout Southern Miss, held Georgia to 12 points and now Ole Miss to 17.

 

Stoops looks unhealthy to me as well as a perennially "also ran." I am astonished that anyone would suggest Jimbo.

 

My take?

Kiffen:



Stoops:



How times change!!!

 

I'm with you. Their 4 wins: Furman, MTSU, Wake, Georgia Southern. Wake leading the pack at #88 in Sagarin.

They are at South Carolina next week, currently 78% predicted to win. But Sagarin has USC at #26, one behind UK (after today's win.) USC at home with a bye week this week...

 

He didn't come to mind, but a real loss. We lost quite a few that are productive in different systems.

 

He deserves a shot somewhere if he wants it but he may be happy right where he is.

 

And he makes 9 million plus bonuses for good seasons and they love him.

He can retire at UK

 

And if so would we still be acting like he’s our #1?

 

It would be hard to prove that it isnt

 

But they don't and won't.

 

We've all heard that one before.

 

The Raiders and USCw didn't fire him because he wasn't a Christian.

 

Take away the ole Miss fumble, miss d fg and penalties, stoops loses this game. It all counts. With stoops offense things have to go perfect to get a win against good teams.
