Say what you will but the fake punt was ill-timed. It killed all momentum when we should have played for field position with a tired defense.
Not knocking Stein bc UK needs some extra artillery to compete against the top teams. Just a flat second half.

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.
You’ve already suggested that Stein is pretty much doomed based on your previous comments despite only being in his 1st season and 2nd game. Yet your comments on our basketball coach from what I’ve seen has been pretty blindly loyal despite giving no reasoning for it. Why favor one over the other?

No doubt that broke out back. Stein will be aggressive and sometimes it will cost us. Today it killed us.

Just want to see a team this year fight till the final whistle. That’s a culture Stein needs to instill. It takes time.

You’re talking to a toddler throwing a tantrum. Don’t expect to get anything coherent out of him.

I'm sorry bud. I can't respect anybody that created a side alias today because he doesn't have the guts to go after someone with their real alias. What a sad act. Bye clown.

You’re very aggressive for someone playing favorites with coaches. Why does one deserve undying loyalty while the other is only doomed after his 2nd game in his first year?

Receivers haven't been able to get any separation. Their defense was on us like flies on scheiße. Scheming guys open worked for a bit, but you gotta have the jimmies and joes. 😮💨
Yea some ppl don’t have actual ball knowledge. They think it’s like a video game where anyone can just get open. Bama secondary is elite as well as the whole d. Long fast and tall.

Kentucky simply can't afford to be out of the Top-20ish in recruiting every year from here on out or this program will never break free.

The Cats lost the moment and ran out of energy but Bama has a lot of problems. They make a lot of stupid mistakes and seem undisciplined, that’ll burn them this year. Their talent won out today but when they play teams with equal talent they are gonna get whipped some.

And money we DO NOT have. Likely will never have.
With the basketball team demanding almost as much as the football team, that’s probably an unfortunate reality. We may very well reach a point where we have to choose one sport to be good at and one to be mediocre/average at.

Anyone that can’t beat #12 Alabama in in 2nd week of being a head coach just doesn’t have it.
Stupid comment. Being noncompetitive after running your cocky mouth all summer is the problem. Stein looks like an arrogant dumbass today, but this is KY so he has a decade or so to work it out.

This team just isn’t very good. I really like Stein and hope it works out though in future years.

Honestly if Bama pick 6’s that opening play as they almost did, woo boy.

We had 1 TD drive. It had multiple 10 yard penalties on Bama and a very 50-50 4th down review to even set up the blown coverage TD.

I expected more consistency from the offense with Stein’s background, paying Minchey a good amount, and paying up pretty significantly on the oline. Hopefully that improves or it will be a hard watch this season.

Yeah but at some point the three and four star guys we have have to be able to complete a third down. It feels like we’re the only school that gets three and four star guys that don’t perform a lot of times.

Welcome the bunch of drunk, overreacting, the sky is falling posters this board is infested with. There is a reason this team was projected to win 3 to 4 games but you all overhyped it like you do everything and then when it doesn't go your way you crap all over everything Kentucky, Coach, Players etc. Be better.

I normally just block Anon posters but this is a great post. Today was obviously not great but people are losing their minds over what was probably the most likely result.

If we can get killed like this spending the money we did and then only spend a couple million on football for the same results then I say pour it into basketball baby. Give Stein three solid classes and if it isn’t working then it may never work.

Stein obviously runs a workable exciting offense WHEN HE HAS THE PERSONEL. This year he doesn't have them. PoorQB play , abysmal recievers and ssllloooowwwww offensive line ruined a winning effort on defense. Our offensive tackles are dreadfully slow. I watched them get beat repeatedly by Bamas quicker more athletic edge rushers. I think the jury is still out on Minchey, he played very poorly but it was his first start in a truly big time football game. He might improve. Our recievers are another issue entirely. My Grey haired granny could cover them. It's gonna be a long season.

NO IT DIDN'T. An oline that couldn't block the edges, a QB that didn't make accurate throws ,recievers that couldn't get open is what killed us Steins fake punt was based on his judgement that our defense was gassed and our only chance of winning was to keep possession of the football. You guys have watched too much Stoops ball.

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.
I don’t agree. Teams rarely rotate OL. And our DL is the deepest room on the team. We got outcoached in the 2H. Leaving Malachi Wood in there after he repeatedly got burned today drove me nuts. They need to go back to the OL they had last week and move Alinen to RT and Knox at LG.
