Indiana fans were saying that just a few years ago
I'm not saying UK can't win a championship. It's just highly unlikely and even if it happens the expectations will still not be the same. Imo of course. Maybe 100 years from now if the future has different outcomes and football is successful expectations can change so I guess I was wrong when I said never. But not for a really long time.

Good point. I don't believe so. The only other 26 transfer portal I had looked at originally was the On3 site here which had us at # 40 rightly or wrongly. Not sure why there are huge discrepancies between ranking sites. Must weight things totally different, but you'd think it would all be relative to other schools. I didn't think Stein did that well for this coming season's transfer class. They may be better than i assumed this year.
I thought it was a damn good class considering the timing. The O line group was really good. If Baxter, Minchey, and Nic Anderson can stay healthy the offense will be fun. I just worry about edge rushers and our lbs.

UK football can win the championship next year like Indiana did. Expectations year in and year out will never be the same. Kentucky basketball is 1 of 1.


If basketball wins a championship we celebrate and go crazy but also we've been there and that's expected.

Win a championship in football and we will go crazy and be like how the hell did we do this??
We cannot win a National Championship in football, even if every single thing breaks right

Yeah, it actually was but you are failing to realize it. 2026 equals portal class. 2027 would be high school commits as there is no 2027 portal class at this point.
Yeah, Paul. already.covered that with the other poster. But per usual, you have to be an obnoxious condescending aho if someone dares questions the narrative of your Barnhart pumper Praetorian guard. You're just a nasty person.

That is comical coming from you. Have you never read your own posts? You asked a question. I gave you the answer. You then came back with a smart mouth retort and you were in the wrong.

Total absolute. This post is bad. Plus you said if "every single thing breaks right". So if we get the top recruits, great coaching, no injuries and everything else that makes a great team , we can't? Do you mean the coach will be asked to throw the championship game?

Not this year. No way, not possible unless you believe in the Easter Bunny

The first couple were not "smart mouth" replies at all. Thats in your cranium. It was a sincere question and reply. This may shock you, Paul but could you conceive that maybe I was at work and couldn't read the fine print on the original social media post? I.make mistakes sometimes when distracted. And yeah, my post prior to this was intended to be smart ***, because you continue to act like a grudge holding rear end to me and others simply because we dont parrot the narrative you want us to parrot. Cause and effect. I'm just a mirror.

We might want to add Jamal Crawford to the list of people who want to be a wildcat. I've Been Told that Jamal is recently following recruits that are high on the list for UK so what does that mean to me that there's a possibility of Crawford to UK anyway we might hear something in the next few days

You gotta admit its funny....Stein pulls the #10 ranked class and there are a hundred threads on here praising him like he is the second coming, while Pope ends up with the #2 ranked class and you would think he is the Devil himself for the way he is dogged out over recruiting lol
That’s the number 2 transfer portal ranking, not overall. The only reason we are that high is because the couple we did sign were big ones.

Just the same boorish behavior you are so well known for. I provided the answer for you and you got butthurt and made a smart mouth reply and you were in the wrong. Honest mistakes happen and that is fine but you handled it very poorly. That is the fact and you are the one choosing to make this rude and hateful not me.

Let's win an SEC HOME GAME before we go speculating for a title.

Pope had a couple of dismal seasons by Kentucky standards. Lots of hype around his hiring. Kentucky basketball has long been the crown jewel. The number 2 class is expected, if not number 1.

If Stein flops after his first two seasons in a similar way, it will elicit a similar response from fans.

No one "expects" the #1 class in the portal/NIL era lol
