I am stunned.

- Start date
We stopped them. They chose not to go for it on 4th and 1. Minchey proceeded to methodically drive down the field for a FG to go to OT.
LSU scores and kicks. Kentucky scores and Stein throws up his "two" hand. The rest is history.
I think Stein has found his first hated coach.
You forgot Stein parked his wheelbarrow then threw up his "two" hand. Important step missed but I got your back...
Kiffin punted on a 4th and 1. We got ball back. AZ redeemed himself. OT.
Defense then **** itself and let LSU score easily.
we then get ball TD. Big nuts goes for two.
we win.
I’ve said it on here before, it’s kinda why I don’t mind Beamer either. I like the dudes with personality. I’m tired of the robots. Give me the guys that aren’t afraid to let it rip.
He's getting a new mattress tomorrow, for sure. Super win. Ranking on Monday?
We better be ranked. 20ish.
If they screw us again…..
You must have taken a LONG shower.
I think the main thing you've seen is that they can compete with any of the teams that are ranked.
They're good enough.
They're not super great defensively but they're good enough because they cause turnovers.
A big play team.
They haven't scored less than 31 points yet in a game. Think about that one.
6. Games above 31.
31 is the magic number. If you score more than that you got a chance.
You can recruit when you score that many points because everybody gets stats

I am as well. I sat there with my son in section 225, just taking in the enormity of Minchey calling his number to run the ball himself! He has been so very hesitant to run at all. Then watching that horde of humanity pouring in to that field. GBB!!!
Stein gave credit to Kenny. They spread the field and Kenny saw the open box and Kenny took it. Sure, he is coached to do that, but Stein said he was watching the routes when all of a sudden they were storming the field. When they spread the field, I thought it was a planned QB run and envisioned it failing short of the goal line. Thank you Kenny!! Like other games, he appears to be two QBs during the game. He is the starter who struggles and then is the backup off the bench the proves everyone right who says QB2 should be QB1. If he gets his legs through a whole game, UK may be the best team in the nation.

I was confident that if Kiffin went for it, and thought he would, that we would lose. That is and will eat at him. His rationale was sound, but I think the game is over if he goes for it on fourth.
Looked to me that the UK defense laid down for Leavitt in OT so Stein could call the 2 pt conversion and end the game. Lol
After watching that TD run, we all knew there was no way in the world Stein was going for the PAT.
People at Ky are so used to losing with Stoops now we have a winner in Stein who knows how to win it takes some getting used to.
My guess like most us it's due to mediocre coaches . We've been told that we can't win big at a school like Kentucky and to accept the mainstream . Only problem no one told this to WILL"BIG BALLS " STEIN . GO CATS GO STEIN Winning gets contagious
Strangely, those two misses worked in our favor as they left zero time for lsu to drive for a winning fg of their own after we tied it. They would have had plenty of time if either of the first two was good.
In the context of that moment though, his defense had completely bottled us up in the second half and they were on their own 43. Considering how their defense was playing and how much our defense had been surprisingly stout against the run all night (LSU was only avg 2.6 ypc for the game and we had a good number of tackles for loss), it wasn't as obvious a decision at the time as it now seems in hindsight. It would have been completely justified as well, but it also would have been brought up afterwards as the "decision that cost him the game" if we hold them there and go on to score a TD in regulation with a short field (on their 43 yard line) and 1:30 left on the clock. Either choice would have been justified given the situation.
I thought FOR SURE he goes for it. Convert and it's ballgame. The way they were imposing their will on us, I thought game over cause he's going for it.
I think he over thought it and stein got in his head.
Right! He has to get those suckers around somehow. It has to be hard running the sideline with a wheelbarrow.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the front page here all Football with little basketball talk this late in the year.
The beauty of it is it wasn't called as a designed run. Kenny just saw it and took it.I mean i said we would take out Kiffin but I wasn't sold on that bold statementbut dayum, i mean we got stopped on offense most of the 2nd half, whiffed 2 easy FGs and STILL beat that *** on the most beautiful call Ive seen on a 2pt conversion. I mean he could have moonwalked in
That will change quickly I’m sure. First time basketball lays an egg, this will look like an episode of Jerry Springer. And if we beat Kansas, we will be projecting 40-0s. Make no mistake, basketball still matters in Kentucky. Many of us are third or fourth generation fans at this point, living and dying by the Cats on the hardwood the way our parents and their parents did. Unfortunately, we are down and it saps the fun out at the moment. You’ll have the hardcores who always “stop watching the games” but they’ll be right back on here bleeding out over the losses like the rest of us. Basketball is just different in Kentucky. For many reasons.
Thanks for the correction. I hope you feel validated for my figure of speech.
I have gone to so many games at commonwealth with no ticket we sucked so bad a couple of the ticket people always would let me in. We smuggled so much Budweiser in there. Barney would have been mortified at the entire scene. We have gone from that to a potential playoff team. In all of what? 37-38 years. lol.
Of course, just saying it’s great to have a fun football team. Now we don’t have just basketball to look forward too.
