The Golden Eagles come to Lexington Sept. 3 to open the 2016 season against the Wildcats. This is a very important game for Kentucky if they want to get to a Bowl this year. Some familiar faces are in the game with the return of Booger Dawson as S. Mississippi's OC. I, personally, think the game will be a shootout, with Kentucky winning 45-35.

I am ready to see what Shannon Dawson can do with an experienced head coach letting him do his job.

From the season prediction thread:

 

I realize Southern Miss has a decent program (last year I watched my Huskers screw around with them for 3+ quarters before ultimately securing an 8 point victory), but UK loses to them, at home, to kick-off the season, this forum will be HIGH COMEDY for about 13 days (because you know that would be followed by a Swamp-pasting). Must-read stuff, to be sure.

 

Just for the sanity of myself, the mods, and the majority of the level-headed UK fans in my circle of friends, I'm all-in for the Cats against the Golden Eagles.

Kentucky will open the season with a L.

UK by 6.

I think it will show that UK did a major upgrade to Gran and Hinshaw. Now the Defense has to somehow do their part too. Front 7 has to play solid to get that done.

That's my argument for the entire season. Stoops to me is not a "great" coach he's good but he needs a really good supporting cast to get thru the grind of a season.

Found out yesterday I am going to be at the game with the wifes band, they are playing at halftime with the UK band.

Is this game on TV? Which station if so and time?

They need to get a really good qb first.

How do you know that they don't already have one. Please don't tell me you already know what type of qb Barker will be after just 2 starts and getting barely any reps with the starters all season during practice last year. It is impossible for anyone to say one way or another how Barker will do.

Johnson or Hoak might be really good.

Why waste your time responding to this poster. Same old, same old. Personal grudges meant to do nothing but stir the pot.

UK loses this game, this board will be GOLD.

 

:lol2:

 

Absolute must-win.

Johnson or Hoak might be really good.

Got ya. I thought this poster sounded familiar. Definitely a waste of time when he has a personal grudge to carry.
