Football Championship

HolySmokes · 2026-11-09T18:15:30-0600

After Saturday's loss to them orange bastards I've had to endure a lot of shittalking since I live in Tennessee. They claim to be a top tier SEC program and not middle of the pack.

They say we've never won anything and never will. So of course im firing back.

So my question is did UK win a national championship in 1950 or not? Because they keep throwing up 98 which is thirty years ago so I figured 70 years ago is the same difference.

Do we claim a national championship? Or is jt a phony championship? Either way I think im going to claim it and keep pissing them off saying we have the same amount of championships and we won ours first lol.

UKWildcats1987 · 2026-11-09T18:21:00-0600

I think it was awarded like 40 years or more after the fact but college football was a joke for decades on how to determine a champ so why not claim it.

Sounds good to me. Tennessee fans even after dominating the series are going to ride this regular season win till the end of the season. I dont care what anybody says they get more excited beating UK than they do Bama.

What did Kentucky do to them in the civil war lol. I thought Kentucky kind of minded its own business.

Shoot i would if I could. Its in the future plans. Actually would be awsome to live in Lexington. When I went in 2012 it seemed like a really nice town. Extremely clean. How's the jobs and cost of living? Assuming you live in or near there.

Oklahoma is recognized as the 1950 champion. But only because the vote was taken before the bowl games back then.

You can still make the argument, though. We beat Oklahoma in the bowl game that year after the voting was done. If the vote had been taken just a bit later, we likely would’ve been named champ.

I couldnt tell ya about Lexington living. I live about 45 minutes east of there. But go there frequently . There are a lot of smaller towns outside of Lexington that are close enough and are much more affordable housing wise.

They told me to Google it so I did. When I asked Google the first word it says is YES.

says we won that year but then goes on to explain the Oklahoma situation. Good enough for me.

I just wasnt sure if BBM as a majority claimed it.

As big a fan i am it would just be cool to be able to decide that day if I wanted to drive to the game and tailgate or just be around the fans without having to plan a vacation.

45 minutes is nothing I would be there all the time. Im currently about a six hour drive. Just want to interact with the program more. Let the kids experience some of the camps and stuff if that's still a thing.

We still sometimes claim it based on 1) computer rankings that came out four decades later say we were No. 1 that year; and 2) the fact that we beat Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. But, unfortunately, everyone else recognizes Oklahoma as that year’s official champ.

The problem is back then the end of the season was considered to be the end of the schedule, and the New Year’s bowls were just kinda looked at as special events that occurred well after the season. So our Sugar Bowl win didn’t get the recognition it deserved.

Ut only has 2 consensus NCs (1951,1998). Don't allow them to make up more

Love Lexington. I’m from Louisville and Shepherdsville. Moved to Lex in 93 for college and never left. I’d recommend.

This is a huge problem in college football, imho. before the BCS era there weren’t consensus champions so multiple teams could claim it. It’s like college basketball teams claiming Helms/Premo-Poretta championships before 1938 on steroids.

Same standard should be held for Bama. And the Ivy League-school’s championship are largely the equivalent of league or regional titles as schools only could play regional programs at the time.

All I know is next week can be amazing if we beat Florida and they lose to lsu. We would be in the playoffs and they would be out. We gotta take care of Florida tho.

Im a lsu fan this week after UK. Ill be watching that game for sure. Go Kiffin lol

A lot of them. And that was a joke. Its not a real war like bombs and people dying. Its just friendly fan banter...ya know...

And im talking about real life. The people I live around. The people at my job. You would think they won the championship..but then they say it's not even a rival game because they've dominated the series....OK act like it then... we dont even act like this towards Louisville.

Again I live in Tennessee. Im seeing it. I was here when they beat Bama.

HolySmokes · 2026-11-09T22:04:04-0600

While we're at it Kentucky's light show and new stadium atmosphere blows Tennessees out of the water. I think the blue just lights up better or something. They had some orange fish floating around on the field.

UK needs to find a way to put some more seats in Kroger. We would fill it up. Capacity is the only thing neyland has going for it. Other than that its bland and outdated. Trash can like the fans

So far they proved that they can beat Arkansas and Georgia tech on the road.

I'm not worried too much about Tennessee.

Texas Am next in Texas and Vandy on road to end it

Yeah he's full of crap. Just the two--and the 1951 NC was awarded after they were blown out by Maryland. 1998 was a Clint Sterner fumble away from one loss.

We live in Lexington and absolutely love this city. But, what Nightman2 says is true. You can find some really great towns right around Lexington that are more affordable and still be close enough to be able to enjoy what Lexington has to offer very easily.

Here's what I found in a little online search, HolySmokes.

Legacy and Controversy

- The Retroactive Claim: In the 1990s, computer ratings by Jeff Sagarin retroactively ranked the 1950 Kentucky Wildcats as No. 1 in the nation.
- Official Recognition by UK: In 2005, surviving members of the 1950 team were honored at a home game as national champions. In 2016, Kentucky formally embraced the claim by displaying a 1950 national championship trophy inside its football facilities.
- Rival Arguments: The claim is frequently debated by college football historians because Tennessee (which beat Kentucky head-to-head and finished 11–1) and Oklahoma (the recognized AP champion) also hold valid or contemporary claims to the 1950 title.

This. Its just as real as any other title that anyone voted on, which was the vast majority.

Its crazy how long the sport went without deciding the title on the field.

Aint that something. 11-1 and the team we lost to was friggin Tennessee. That dont help my argument any lol. Kentucky is just going to have to win it in the next few years or even possibly this year.
