Football is back, you idiots. You don’t have to pretend to care about baseball anymore.
This four way with yttv is cool but if I care about one game I’m definitely watching that game.
-Acuna is maybe what trout was supposed to be, but better.
-Man, this site crashes all the time
Now. Not cool. You all in GYERO provide so many hits and interactions it should be better.

Thank God I was born into a fandom that didn’t require me to rock garnet and black on Saturdays. Uggggg - leeeee.
Thoughts from opening day at Commonwealth:
- a draft beer stand selling ice cold Yuenglings right outside my section was a nice touch that I’ve been missing all my life.
- all the up and down with people going to and fro was a new thing, however. It used to be that people getting up during the middle of action was relatively rare. Because why - to get a sprite and a hot dog? Now, everyone is getting up and going up and down all the time because they need to slake the alcohol master.
- the short ruffled skirts the young lassies are all wearing are great. Particularly when they are blue and paired with a tight white top. We have some beautiful women here.
- when I was walking in, some ******* asked hey you want one for the road? Sure I say, thinking he’s going to offer me an ice cold Miller lite or something. Instead he gave me an almost empty fifth of goldschlager. I turned it up and tanked it, obviously, but that was weird.
- Leery will be fine. But can we get Barion returning punts please?
- you always root for USCar to lose. Jesus, wcc, you move to the burbs and look what happens!
- sitting on the dock drinking Malbec from a box and listening to Benny Goodman.

- I’ve witnessed Bama d-sucking in here for nearly 20 years but NOW we ain’t supporting our SEC brethren against garbage institutions like North Carolina? Eat ****. Nobody will ever lecture me about UK fandom.
- Sorry about the Goldschlager, Wynn. Someone should have warned you about Wildcat Willy. He means well.

Maaaaaaan wcc i feel you but sc fans talk all the time and they’re not on our level in either main sport or probably any. So I kinda hate SC.
My rooting interests this year:
1. Cayts
2. Colorado
3. Chaos
I’ll “root for the SEC” when I think any of those floppy banged ******** will “root for the SEC” when it comes to us in March. Let chaos reign.

Reds picked up a game on four WC contenders tonight: CHC, SF, ARZ, and PHI. MIA was the only other contender that won. Also claimed the tiebreaker over the Cubs if they end up even after 162. Already held tiebreaker over ARZ.
24 to go... All tied up for that 3rd spot.

Leary takes?
I'm equal concerned and intrigued.

Leary:
Was expecting much more. Wanting a 10, got a 6.5.
His throwing motion is funky. Andre Woodsonesque loop-windup.
A couple of his bad throws were actually bad routes run. A couple drops got him shook.
I don’t think Coen called a good game, which made the performance even worse.

The triple option or whatever we ran in the red zone was hysterical, love corn but what’re we doing? Trying out plays sure, but that was silly just get me the end zone week one with a new qb and offense.
Rusty. He’ll be fine. That’s my boiling hot take.
Fwiw - we also dropped some could-be big time plays early on.
Leary looks much more calm and poised standing in the pocket than Levis. And a couple times did pretty well evading a potential sack but then again this was Nut St we were playing. Some of the dropped passes were right on target.
Tonight’s game should be a dandy it was one of the best games last season.
Is it ok to be excited about a kicker?

Smoking a couple butts today. Unfortunately the pork variety, not the @WynnDuffy type.
We averaged 7 yards per play yesterday, which would have been good for third in all of P5 college football last year (@Kennedy_UK).
Bad take.
* I'd swap Junior Will Levis for Leary right now but, weirdly, I think Leary easily has the higher upside if we get everything dialed in. We shall see.
* We played very few true freshmen yesterday, our D-line looked like an angry wolfpack (or kicking cranes in the case of JJ Weaver), and we handled a decent squad in lackadaisical fashion.
That's the mark of a legit football program, imo.
Let the cake bake and whatnot. You can see the offensive potential it just isn't there yet.

Sounded like Stoops was blaming some of the misses on the WRs. I know Key was getting an *** chewing after that INT.
I think he looked more poised in the pocket than Levis but that deep ball certainly didn't have the zip on it.
WI watched the Dodgers-Braves game last night. Went to extra innings and the Deodgers changed pitchers every inning after the 4th. Game was over in 2 hours and 50 minutes.
Meanwhile, college football has realignment, too many commercials, 20 minute plus halftimes, transfer portals, BS targeting rules and a general disdain for its fans from its parent organization.
What I’m trying to say is, f college football.
Mods..Please serve Wayne with a 3 month suspension.
I don't feel like Leary was really dialed in yesterday but I think that is due more to rust. Just one sack and he was poised. If he had happy feet or a ton of rushed throws, I'd be worried because that would tell me he's thinking more about getting hurt again than just playing but there was none of that.
The only thing that worries me a little is that I am basing a lot of Leary expectations off of the word of "experts". Other than our bowl game against them in 2020, I don't know that I watched NC State play more than 5 minutes. Terry Wilson was National JC player of the year but had about the lowest football IQ we've ever had in a starting qb

Time of possession a big negative yday and I’m sure it drove Stoops crazy not being able to get off the field. Some of it being driven by defensive TD and special teams TD though.
21 min doesn’t give the offense a ton of time to get into a rhythm.

And the king of bad takes comes out with MLB is better than college football like some northeast, Francesa listening, douchebag.
Good grief

Speaking of time of possession, one of the things I love about Stoops compared to other coaches employed by UK is the willingness to try something different and outside of his comfort zone. We opened the game with several passing plays before we ever ran the ball, time of possession was really skewed toward Ball State and that is not Mark Stoops football. But it tells he is going to let Coen cal the game he wants if it works.
After the first drive I think the staff saw enough and dialed it back. That drive Leary was on point and accurate, and it looked like we were ready to throw it 50 times and blow them out.
Then the timing got abysmal, we missed on a few, Ball State gained some confidence and we looked like we were going thru the motions.
Tough to gauge the QB in that scenario.
I’ll tell you what I don’t get is that we seem to have wanted to get Brown more involved and were bad at doing it. I get with Key, Robinson the TE’s and Davis you can’t just have a Wandale Robinson type season but we have to have that guy involved, IMO, in a lot more impactful way.
He can take bubble screens, quick slants and hitches to the house with one shift. We have to show those types of plays so defenses have to adjust leaving openings for the rest of our guys or deeper routes for Brown.
If that connection was better I think Leary looks a lot better with what we showed.

Definitely don’t think we started going through the motions down 7-3 after the 1st quarter.
Leary missed a few. Receivers missed a few. Added up to a low completion %. Rust. It was resolved in the 2nd half.
I do think Brad White eased off the pressure in the 2nd half. That 3rd string qb ate up our soft zone (yo momma joke)

8/20 in the 1H for 144, then to turn around and go 10/11 for 97 in the 2H. I also think Brown comes down with that dime in the end zone if not for the DPI.
The 2H stands out for a couple reasons. Of course, a nice bounce back after the 1H jitters. But importantly he was able to manage the lead, complete short/intermediate throws with high accuracy, etc. Something Levis generally struggled with.
Is there someone better suited for their profession than Corey Price being the statistician for UK sports?
One thing to keep an eye on is our offensive pace. For as much as only having 51 plays gets explained away, we played at an extremely slow pace for a good chunk of the game (going full huddle and consistently running the play clock under 5 seconds).
Goodfellas is going to lose the crown for most viewed pizza review.
Goodfella’s score was still lower than this guy. Of course if he hadn’t waited until after the score to throw his tantrum it may have been as bad.
Rumor is the guy did it on purpose to drum up some publicity
Not sure how you watch 9 minutes of that. Is your personal time meaningless? What a way to waste yourlife.
To each his own. A foodie, or pizza nut, will watch because they will try and sample when they are in the area, much Like Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Some are humorous, some nauseating. You can elect to turn off when you want. That was a train wreck. Dave’s a dick but the guy was wrong. Dave does more good than harm because he’s going to places recommended to him and usually says nice things.
The Van Hiles videos are a good watch. I choose to watch ten minutes of those.
Even the What are you listening to thread, exposes me to groups/songs/sounds I would never have sought out on my own.

I love hearing recs from other people and I’ll give you that, thank you. Just not for me. Don’t see why people take 9 minutes out of their lives to listen to a pizza review of a place they’ll likely never go to.
