October 3, 200619 yr It depends on which USC team shows up, and which UK as well. USC that played Mississippi State + UK that played Florida first half? UK wins. USC that played Auburn + UK that played Florida second half (and UL first half)? USC wins. Combinations in between, we'll see. I'd love to see UK do it. My head says they won't.
October 3, 200619 yr Guess what guys? I'm going to this one, I will get my tickets this Tuesday and will witness a UK win, I hope. Cats by four 21-17.:banana: I am going to be at the game to.
October 3, 200619 yr I'm not so sure I would count UK out of the UGA and UT game. :confused: Anything is possible. Im sure UK will dress a football team and show up at game time..... BUT, When was the last time UK beat GA other than a few years back? I dont know exactly but I would guess 20 or 30 years. When was the last time UK won in Knoxville?? Probably 20 or 30 years as well. I keep thinking 1977...as a possibility. Now for the kicker, when was the last time UK beat GA and TN in the same year, regardless of sites..... ever??? I wont be putting any 401K's on the cats in these games.... If you think its a shoe in, have at it... Cats have all the fish they need to fry sat with SC.
October 3, 200619 yr I'm not so sure I would count UK out of the UGA and UT game. :confused: If the UT game was at Commonwealth, I would agree with you...
October 3, 200619 yr ^ I dont think they will move the TN game to Lexington. Its going to take a special effort by the coaching staff, players and fans to pull this off Saturday. UK needs to prove they are up to the challenge. Has all the pieces to be one of the best games in Commonwealth this season....
October 4, 200619 yr Its gonna be a wild day baby! Tailgating starts about 12 for my friends and I ! Then on to the game where the Cats get the big W! UK 38 USC 28:ylsuper:
October 5, 200619 yr I'm hoping for good weather on Saturday as I plan to spend the day at Keeneland then head over to Commonwealth Stadium to tailgate and watch the game. This would be a huge win for the Cats and we have the talent to do it IMO...the defense must show some improvement though or I will be making the usual disappointing exit from Commonwealth Stadium. USC 34 UK 28 GO CATS!!
October 5, 200619 yr ^ Thanks for the clairification. My schedule has Miss. (the "ST" was omitted)... Still not any easier.... Then you obviously haven't been paying too much attention to this season...
October 5, 200619 yr ^ Yes you caught me.... Im not your typical bleed big blue die hard fan. A 4 - 8 record is not something I get excited about..... I support good football when I see it, regardless of team. Ive paid attention enough to know that this is the game for UK football this year. A UK loss spells disaster for the rest of the season..... A win spells increased hope and possible bowling...... definite improvement...... UK football does not need me to validate their season. They are earning it each week. When the D is ranked 100 something out of 118.... Its really kinda hard to get into this kind of football. Much better and entertaining football to watch than that product...... I will be watching this sat.
October 6, 200619 yr LaGrange(GA) High Schools Randall Burden, 2-star DB, and D.J. Stafford,4-star DE, will be making a offical visit to UK this weekend for the game. Burden is considered a UK lean and Stafford has UK in his top 5 along with UGA, LSU, Bama, and Auburn.

October 6, 200619 yr ^ you're right. But it will play into the players psyche. That's why I think this game is more important than most.
October 6, 200619 yr Lets look at it this way: UK gets the W against USC. Big blue nation is all hyped up, talks of going bowling are on every talk show, the program is making progress...... Note: This is all theoretical with a UK W over USC... the record stands at 4 - 2 with games @ Miss. ST., Vandy (H) and La - Monroe (H) still on the schedule. Games w/ LSU, GA and TN also.... One can see there is a list of games that are "certianly winnable" and a list of games which are "Iffy at best".... This means UK needs to win 2 out of the 3 games with Miss St, Vandy or La-Monroe...... This situation can cause some major enthusiasum around this part of the country. This is great, it is certianly achieveable given the opponents...... Also, wrt the negative folks (like my self giving them heck prior to the season) will stirr some positive yakers..... Now if UK loses against USC.....3 - 3... UK Must win at MIss. St, beat Vandy and La-Monroe....this can be done but winning on the road is something that UK is not very well versed at..... Lots of speculations here, but losses at LSU, Miss. St leaves the season at 3 - 5 and UK has to win 3 out of the last 4.... one of which has to be GA or TN....... I hope this clears it a little of why this is such a big game against USC...... A w puts the cats on the way to where they want to be.... a L puts them behind the 8 ball with little or no margin for error..... With the internal expectations of 6+ victores (Brooks), this seems to be a potentially great situation or a potentially very negative situation. Its very rare that something positive comes from a negetive situation in UK football.
October 7, 200619 yr LaGrange(GA) High Schools Randall Burden, 2-star DB, and D.J. Stafford,4-star DE, will be making a offical visit to UK this weekend for the game. Burden is considered a UK lean and Stafford has UK in his top 5 along with UGA, LSU, Bama, and Auburn. Hope we can keep that LaGrange pipeline feeding the Commonwealth. Woodyard needs to step in and help UK out in this case, like he has been doing for a while now.
