football is back!

I hear ya Don, but UK has about as much shot of getting a BSC bowl bid in the SEC as I do winning the Heisman this year. Their pockets at a ''BASKETBALL'' school aren't deep enough to compete in the SEC in football.

UK would be better served to join another conference, maybe the Big 12 or Big 10

I don't know enough about UK or their program and definatly know less about college ball then some of you guys but....Florida managed it pretty well? At times other schools did too.

UL has the seeds planted with Coaching staff with Pitino and Strong. I know it's a HUGE maybe for any program to win a bid to a BCS bowl (or championship) and have a team in the final four or championship game but just having the chance is what I would think a program like UK would want.

UK has no chance at all in their football program at getting anything but a standard bowl game tossed at them for meeting the winning percentage and I'm amazed that they seem to be happy with that by not going out to get a better coach who has roots in recruiting good solid players like Strong is for UL.

Good points Don. Joker had a decent recruiting class, maybe it will get better. I really like what Strong is doing and the more I watch the guy the more I like him. I think he can manage the coaching in such a way that kids love him and fear him all at the same time, that's a balancing act alot of coaches can't seem to conquer. He makes them go to class to, and if they step out of line he will kick their butt. He's a brickhouse to, I bet that guy can jack up some poundage on the bench.

At this years summer football camp for youngsters alot of parents went away really praising Strong for his demeanor with the kids. He also said no kid would be turned away and if money became an issue he had it covered. Also gave a 150 K to the University for a schorlarship for a needing student. I just like the guy, I have alot of respect for him and I think he will be a winner here, not overnight but it's coming. By the way Tim is the expert I'm just a hack that likes talking some sports trash.

I do know this though, that bridge Troll Pat Forde picked Murray in a upset last night, lol.

Heard a guy say that Newton runs like Cam and throws like Sir Isaac.

I was in Nashville at the UK vs WKU game...WOW...what a horrible display of football....

I thought I saw some points of hope on defense...hell, we're #2 in the nation right now in points scored against...but then somebody slapped me and reminded me that we were playing Western. They were 2-10 last year, 0-12 in 2009, 2-10 in 2008...

Good points about the game:
They served beer.
It was hot as an oven, so the girls weren't wearing a lot of clothing.
Walking distance to some good live music/bars downtown.

Bad points about the game:
Everything else.

Randall Cobb aint walking through that door.

I've been more excited watching sap drip out of a tree.

Whomever decided that UK vs WKU on a Thursday night, when kids are still in school, folks have to work the next day, 4 hour drive from Lexington, where all the money goes to the state of Tennessee...should be beat with a rubber hose. It was a dismal 24K attendance at LP Field, with more red than blue. Embarrassing. I would rather have played at Western's stadium.

I didn't have a whole lot of positive outlook for this season, and it was pretty much confirmed Thursday night. I can see 1-11...seriously...

It's depressing. Fans were booing already in the 1st Quarter, which is also embarrassing.

Hal Mumme called Joker to see if he needed an offensive coordinator? He said his qualifications were Kentucky did not punt in 4 years that he was head coach as many times as UK punted against WKU.
