I am stunned.

[bbnkat02]

I predicted 3 wins and was generally giddy with stein anyway. This is unreal.

I thought 5 MAYBE 6.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

What in holy hades happened?!
Lsu was running out the clock, and I jumped in the shower and now I find out we won?
Someone give me the cliff notes on what happened.

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.

Thanks. Wow!

 

[bbnkat02]

That sack of nuts continued to delay the game whining to the refs. Stein about blew a gasket every time.

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.

As someone who hates the rest of the SEC and despises the whole SEC “pride” BS (they always suck each other off in football in the offseason, but when it comes to basketball, we never get any returned favor), I love how he pees off the rest of the SEC fans and admin.

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.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

How and more importantly WhY? He's all fluff. He has won nothing of any importance. He routinely underachieves with all star teams at all star programs. He's a fugazzi

That’s just patently false.

I knew Stein had the “ It”!

 

[NociHTTP]

My son and I literally jumped up and down! It's about time we had a good team!!!

Is there any other way to jump than literally, lol.

 

[NociHTTP]

Stein’s tenure will ensure the younger generations kids grow up big football fans. Kentucky brand could be growing.

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.

 

[Bluegrass79]

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

 

[TFCat11]

Stein and the cats making “Vegas” some serious money this season!

 

[Haggin_Hall_1983]

I am in literal shock

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!!!

 

[Beatle Bum]

Absolutely brilliant coaching down the stretch. That 2 point conversion was absolutely beautifully orchestrated!

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.

Will Stein for President

I said the same thing after the game.

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.

 

[Randy Bob]

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.

 

[jeffky]

I am in literal shock

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

 

[vhcat1970]

Those 2 fg misses had me so pissed. Can't believe they had the composure to come back and win after that.

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.

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.

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.
