Look on the bright side

[Ash Williams]

Nobody, and I mean nobody thought that Kentucky would even have a chance at the playoffs this year. And here we were all talking about it. Also, now we know that Stein won’t be leaving at the end of the season.

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

Tonight we just looked really really off and Tennessee especially defense looked great

Tennessee better enjoy this, because starting next season, we're going to be kicking THEIR ASSES on an annual basis. Stein's first team will be his worst team. And Tennessee has already peaked. We know it. They know it. That is why so many UT fans are over here on our forum showing their arses. They're scared because they know UK has a much brighter future.

Yep. I honestly think we go on a steak similar to the one they had from 1985-2011 when Matt Roark put an end to it. I could see us running off 10-12 in a roll

I remember hearing this about Pope. I think we should just enjoy this year and really hope we show up in these next three games and make the playoffs because you never know how things will go in the future and if you’ll get that chance again.

We will still stay in the top 12 most likely. Just gotta move on and use it for motivation like the Bama game. Tennessee is a really good team, elite defense.

I was impressed with our offenses ability to move the ball against them. We just never capitalized. We had more total yards against them than any other opponent but the lowest point total.

They are. Bet LSU beats’m though, and I’ll be on that forum blowing up

 

[RationalKentuckyFan]

Those are both amazing points..Kentucky could literally lose out and I would still feel great about how they did this year.

Bright side? Mark pope is still the coach! It’s dark until he’s gone! Fire mark pope asap!

Unfortunately mark poope is still the Kentucky basketball coach! Kenny brooks is 10 times the coach mark pope will ever be!

 

[MichaelGray]

It might be a long shot but we still have a shot at the SEC championship game, just need the suck a dick orange team to drop 1 more game, Alabama lose 1 more, have LSU beat Texas & us win out.


Win out & we're at least in the playoffs imo.

I agree that we MUST win out, for sure, but cannot help but wonder if a team with a pair of 28-point losses deserves serious consideration.

Current Playoff Odds and Context

• • ESPN FPI / Playoff Predictor: Kentucky sits around 39.5% to 52.2% to make the playoff field following their second conference loss of the season.
  • Betting Markets: Fox Sports odds list Kentucky's playoff odds around +170.
  • Current Standing: The Kentucky Wildcats dropped to 7-2 overall after falling to the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville.
  • Remaining Schedule: Kentucky faces a closing stretch that includes key games such as a matchup at Missouri Tigers on November 21 and the annual rivalry game against Louisville Cardinals. Winning out is essentially required to lock up an at-large or SEC title berth without needing outside help

Nobody wins in Knoxville on Saturday night. That place sounded awesome on my surround sound last night and we played decent ball for 1st half. Turnovers and a few holding flags hurt for sure. That was our rivalry game and things get alittle easier next weekend. Gotta finish our season strong and watch other teams fall. MIAMI got blown out and Ohio State also. Teams are losing and we are not out yet.

We always knew stein wasn’t leaving after this season and nothing was gonna change that regarding the Tenn game.

Thanks, man. I thought it was clear that Stein is a really good offensive coach. We were just able to kill your drives once you got it past midfield. Just let it get away from you all at the end, but you all have had a hell of a good season and have my respect.

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

I agree OP. I predicted 5-6 wins this year. Will Stein has been far better than I could have ever expected. Proud to be a Wildcat fan with the football performances this season.

I don’t think any one game makes a coach safe from leaving. I expect Florida State to make a cursory call.

 

[Ash Williams]

Nice of the Vol fans to show up here taunting us so I can block them all.

 

[UKreturntogreatness]

Kentucky football has always had problems with Tenn. The final games this season should produce at least one win and hopefully more. Not sure we will make the playoffs but a good chance. No one thought pre-season that we would be in this spot.

 

[Ednunn]

Death, taxes and losing to UT.

 

[CELTICAT]

Incredible season, and Tennessee fans making as big a deal out of the game and the win tells you the times are a changing.

 

[Anon1739778738]

Tennessee will never win another Natty in football and also fall short of making a final four.
