Missouri St.? Purdue? Yes, dropping 40+ in 5 consecutive games is impressive(and challenging regardless of the opponent), but to act as if this means ZOMG ODOM IS AMAZING AND EVERYTHING IS GREAT WITH MIZZOU FOOTBALL, is an overreaction. |

And before you start bad-mouthing MU's strength of schedule, let's review the teams that UK has beaten....Southern Miss, Eastern Kentucky, Eastern Michigan. Kentucky barely beat (at home) a Tennessee team that MU just demolished, and they lost to a Florida team that MU demolished. Last edited by Mosbonian; 11-12-2017 at 03:28 PM.. |

I've been at every home game this year for UK football and am well aware of how they played vs Mizzou. And yes, the game could have ended differently if the ref called a delay of game on the defense. But he didn't. Just like UK could have had a different outcome if the fumble with under a minute to go wasn't overturned vs Ole Miss. But it was. Or if the hold vs Florida to set up a field goal wasn't called. But it was. In the first game of the season for UK, this was called a ****ing first down on a 4th down attempt for Southern Miss: Shit happens. There are a handful of plays that probably go in the wrong direction for either team in any game. Mizzou shouldn't have had to rely on a ref calling a penalty or stopping the clock if they weren't trying to score at the end if they had put themselves in a position where they didn't have to dig themselves out of a hole. I'm just happy for the first time all season UK won by 14 points or more yesterday. Last edited by Rams Fan; 11-12-2017 at 03:28 PM.. |

Still think in the long term you're in trouble with shit recruiting but with that said good luck getting a good coach after firing a guy 2 years in who's won the last 4 and could possibly make it 6 games.
You're stuck in a weird situation Tiger fans. |

I think you have to look at it this way....Mizzou did in the last 4 games what they should do against teams like that....nothing more, nothing less. I choose to look at it as an opportunity for this team to get to a bowl game to have those extra practices in December and to put some positive mojo on the recruiting trail. |

Recruiting has not been great, but Crockett, Rountree, Durant, Castillo, Simms, Albert O, Micah Wilson, Tre Williams, Whiteside, Utsey, Turner, and Acy are all starters or rotation players and have played well.

My problem with your arguments is that you are acting like UK is head and shoulders above MU when in fact they are the definite benefactor of soft non-conference schedule and a weak eastern conference, just like Mizzou. BTW.....I agree that the call in the FL game was iffy. To answer your original question.....yes, I think that MU would beat UK if they played a 2nd time. |

Yeah.....I've seen some incompetence but that guy should have been punished for that level of stupidity.

UK has played a soft schedule, yes. Their non-conference opponents are EKU, Southern Miss, and Louisville. They've won 2 of the 3(and honestly should win the the 3rd). The difference between them and Mizzou, however, is all but 2 of their games now(a blowout win and a blowout loss), have been decided by 14 points or less. They are 6-2 in those games. Unlike Mizzou, they've won close games. Being at the Florida game until the end is the most depressing experience I've had in terms of sports, even more so than attending any Rams game. Florida was a better team that night-and probably has more talent than UK-but blowing that lead is inexcusable. |

There is a good chance that UK will end up 7-5 just like Mizzou.....I think GA will take out their frustrations on Kentucky next weekend, and Lamar Jackson will light up UK. |
