Wins are a bonus.Big failure today of that in the second half.
All I wanted to see was a competitive, well coached, exciting team

kentucky is allergic to passing offense like no other team in the country until proven otherwise. it's like us and Iowa.
Offensive line couldn't stand up to Bama in the 2nd half and their back 7 are too good in coverage. Passing will be there in future seasons, just not against this Bama defense. May be the best D we play this year.
I just don't understand why we relied so much on medium and long throws. We could get 4-6 pretty consistently throwing short. We don't need a touchdown every play – we just need to keep the drive alive...
And for the love of God, give the defense a few minutes of rest.
I'll happily give Stein a couple years to build up his program, though. I fully believe he'll get there with the pace of recruiting and the style he wants to play. He seems pretty savvy on the sideline, too. I trust a second game Stein's game management more than a tenth year Stoops'. The bar is low, but still.
Can’t even complete a third down. It blows. I like what stein is doing but this half is ugly.
Stein is just doing what Stools did - Tell UK that they absolutely can win, get the job and ride it as long as possible to enrich yourself. The joke is always, always on the UK Football season ticket holders that believe anything will ever change other than an occassional Music City bowl win. Maybe a Peach bowl.
Stein looks like an utter fool right now. A pretender. Glad Stools is gone, but it is and will always be a snowball up an icy hill against the SEC. I'll watch all day games in reatime but night games must be recorded.

100% this
And yet you treat Mark Pope like he’s some sort of God when all doing is turning Kentucky basketball into Kentucky football.
Yeah this kind of embarrassing stuff is why I didn’t go to the Lair. Looks like I’ll just avoid talking about football until basketball season. We didn’t play well in the second half but this thread sucks. Talking trash about the coach for losing to Alabama is the pits.
It’s year one, game 2, with a portal roster.
A God? Show me that. When you need to tell utter lies to try and get the upperhand, you are a clown. Later, son.
Lot of people pumped Stein. This is an embarrassing effort today, from all involved on the UK side, except the fans. Which is pretty much always the case with UK sports anymore. Both major UK sports are an utter joke at the moment. Sorry but it’s time to call a spade a spade. We have zero run game. How do you expect to pass the ball with zero run game? People saying Minchy didn’t show up… what about CJ Baxter? Supposed to be one of the best O lines in the country blocking for him. At the end of the day this team is hype and nothing else. No substance. Bama is very average and DeBoer isn’t going to last there. If we can’t beat them at home with all the buildup, we’re gonna be lucky to win 4 games this year. It is what it is… UK football. The ****** part is that we don’t have basketball to look forward to anymore.
Disagree. This is a get it done or gone year for Pope. I believe we can fix basketball. Football, not so much.
Anyone that can’t beat #12 Alabama in in 2nd week of being a head coach just doesn’t have it.
Agree. All I've ever said was to give him 3 years like any sane adult would do.
Plus he never said that if we won it would be because of him, lol.
I didn’t expect to win today, but I also didn’t expect to lose the second half by 40 points.
Alabama is not a good football team
Woefully unprepared to play anybody this week. We have a cocky short man on the sidelines though - after today we are a bigger laughing stock as ever.
He’s a joke. Always has been. I hope he knows, Pope is married.
If Stein can’t win here, no one can. I’ll wait until he gets his guys. Until then, we’re probably bottom 4 in the SEC.
Where’s Stein’s 3 years, clown? Only Mark Pope gets 3 years, right?
A lot of crybabies in here. A lot to fix but 1 offseason isn’t enough to build a football team. I know I know, bring up Indiana like that’s the norm 
Everyone’s just laughing at you. Dry those eyes buddy
But to NEED keep Mark Pope at least 5 years to figure things out as a 50-something-year-old coach who has been coaching for over a decade at this point.
I’m at least willing to give Stein 4 years to develop players in a sport where that matters most. Plus there’s still hope when he was a highly successful coordinator before taking the coaching job.
In the portal era, one offseason is enough to not look like this.A lot of crybabies in here. A lot to fix but 1 offseason isn’t enough to build a football team. I know I know, bring up Indiana like that’s the norm
I haven't seen a single person say to Fire Stein. Enjoy the rest of your days on the funny farm since you are going to keep putting lies in my mouth. No time for you. Muted.
Stein ran his mouth and deserves to get laughed at.
Stein doesn’t have the depth yet to stay with teams like Bama. OL and DL was gassed in the 2nd half. Not sure what halftime adjustments Stein made but Bama’s was spot on.
Ohhh, you poor baby. Are you out in front of Kroger field with a big C on your obese chest and your face painted blue?
See ya, bud.
