Carolina is in the process of upgrading football facilities, but the main project is construction of a new soccer/lacrosse stadium.I think you disagree with me just to have someting to do...Why would you say, "North Carolina"? ACC isn't the SEC. Their facilities are nowhere near that of UK's. Location isn't the greatest. Fan support doesn't seem close. Just seems like a silly pick.
Yep. I mean there are some questionable one's in there: At Mizzou and at UT. But I think UK wins at Tenn. Missouri will be a toughie. Even then....9-3 ain't bad.
Did you see what Florida did to UT? The Vols are horrible. I would bet they only win 1 more game the rest of the season, against Charlotte.
I did. That's why I said I think UK wins @ UT. But hey---its a rivalry game. At UT. So it deserves some mention simply for that.
Or, ummm, run the table? I mean its not totally nuts to think you guys COULD be UGA, at home. I think winning @ A&M will be tougher than beating UGA in Lexington.
SC opened -1.5 @ UK this week. Wish I could drop money on that line right now but it's not open yet who I bet through.
Two words that do not belong in any discussion, pertaining to UK fans...Laughing
Moral victories are meaningless. Army throws a lot of teams for a loop just because they have a unique offense that opponent's are rarely equipped for, because they don't see it against anyone else. Army ran damn near 90 plays to OU's 40.
Isn’t that the point of colliegete sports? If they’re not used to that type of offense that says more about Oklahoma’s preparation, especially considering it’s “Army”.
Major upsets "almost" happen on a weekly basis, especially this early in the season. In this case, it didn't. Just like Appalachian State @ PSU in week 1. They have since murdered 3 straight opponents. Virginia Tech probably wishes they were as lucky. A 28-point favorite that loses is pretty rare, although I seem to recall the same thing happening a few years ago between 2 Kentucky teams, I believe it was. SmokinSmile
The facilities aren't what made the Florida schools good. It was the local talent. There is nowhere near the amount of local talent around Kentucky that Florida has to pick from. It's night and day. Ohio and Pennsylvania are somewhat close and they've got a lot of players to pick from but Kentucky will always be behind Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Notre Dame when it comes to picking up the best players from there and they're still not going to regularly beat out the southern schools + OU/Texas + west coast powers for the best of the best. It's just the way it is.

And no "shot". Just some fun. I of all non UK fans no how serious UK is about football. I"ve seen the love for the program. IMO, UK's the biggest, sleeping giant on all of CFB. I like Stoops. I just dont think he's the guy thats gonna tap in to it.
Colorado definitely has never been considered a powerhouse. Not many schools have been though. It takes a lot more than just a few good seasons in a row to reach that level of prestige.
Ok. I still think USC, Texas and others like that qualify as sleeping giants. If you are at the point where even Colorado is eliminated from sleeping giant consideration then you are at a point where the pool consists of Arizona's and Missouri's and Kentucky's and North Carolina's and South Carolina's. None of those schools are sleeping giants, IMO. All of them have a ceiling of competing for a conference title every 4 years and probably never making the CFB Playoff's.
Plus Georgia plays auburn and LSU this year. That COULD be a couple losses so even if we lose to Georgia we could still get in IF we take care of business the rest of the way.
That bear bryant, Cadillac story is not true. He went to A&M because A. They let him be the AD and B. UK for whatever reason wanted him to recruit mainly in state kids (sounds like something eastern ky ppl would come up with) before Bear was grabbing tons of ppl out of Ohio and PA. I know this bc there was an ortho doc in Lexington who used to play for him and that's the story he always gave.
