October 6, 201411 yr Is that documentary available on demand any where. Would be interested in at least giving it a glance. It is on rotation on SEC Network, if you have that you can probably find it pretty easily. Doesn't look like it's going to be on this week however. There is a Game Film program where Spurrier breaks down game film on this week.
October 6, 201411 yr KY used to always play respectable to very good UofL teams at the beginning of the season and those didn't seem to help much at all. I am a UK fan willing to admit that SEC losses were not due to playing pansies early on, the were because those UK teams were just very bad teams. The bolded part is very debatable. I've long held the position that UK would be better prepared for SEC play if they dumped the "let's go schedule a bunch of pansies so we can get bowl-eligible" strategy.

October 6, 201411 yr It's a no win situation with you as far as any respect for UK. First it was that the "creampuff" ooc schedule would hurt UK when conference play started. They are now 2-1 in conference play, could easily be 3-0, so now your opinion has changed again. Now its that they are winning because their wins came at home, you say road win would be more impressive. Yet they played Florida to multiple overtimes on the road, a game that very well could have been a win. So now you mentioned that a win over LSU would be impressive. I agree, because its tough to win there, for ANYONE. But since they were ranked 15th and Auburn exposed them, I expect that if in fact that did happen you would claim that its UK's best win, but LSU is not as good as advertised. Truth be told, you could probably take the top 10 sec teams and I imagine they could all beat anyone on a given night. The ladder to respectability is not a one-rung concept. UK has climbed two big rungs — beating Vandy to snap the SEC losing streak, then beating South Carolina to exorcise the Spurrier demon. Next rung is winning on the road in the SEC. I don't know why this is such a hard concept. Again, UK is making progress, but they're not there yet. I've given the Wildcats lots of credit for their recent success.
October 6, 201411 yr We know... Well, what do you want from me? People are suggesting I've been using a sliding scale and that's just not the case.
October 6, 201411 yr SC mediocre? Not hardly. Stop trying to make this year's version of the Gamecocks out to be world-beaters. They're 3-3.
October 6, 201411 yr #15 Texas A&M and #23 Missouri are the 2 teams South Carolina has lost to other than UK. Not sure why you want to call this team mediocre. Mizzou lost at home to Indiana, which is as inexcusable as it gets. If you're going to try to tell me there's only 22 better teams in the country than the Tigers, well, I've got some oceanfront property in Bardstown to sell you. They have no marquee wins and the only reason they're ranked this week is because, well, I don't know. There's nothing impressive on their resume. And SC got thrashed by A&M, who was horribly exposed on Saturday.
October 6, 201411 yr Well, what do you want from me? People are suggesting I've been using a sliding scale and that's just not the case. Nothing at all.. I just don't get the strength of schedule aspect. Kentucky has one of the toughest schedules in the country. If you want to make a case for a stronger ooc schedule I'd look at teams that don't play in the toughest conference in the country.

I don't know why this is such a hard concept. Again, UK is making progress, but they're not there yet. I've given the Wildcats lots of credit for their recent success. At least you can acknowledge that they have made progress. But how many rungs do they have to climb before you quit ragging on their accomplishments?

Comparing games in that sense doesn't usually mean anything.
October 6, 201411 yr Trying to get Jim to say anything positive about UK is like :deadhorse: It's not worth the effort for the mere pittance that he will give up.
October 6, 201411 yr Pretty sure I saw that UL's is actually ahead of UK in SOS thus far. Correct. 30 spots better according to Sagarin.
