They probably will, and hopefully they wont underachieve next year, like they did this year.

Don't get me wrong, I have felt all along they were the best team in the SEC and unfortunately had some very tough road games.

Based on what. It couldn't be based on year after year of top ten recruiting classes. Heck, the USA Today player of the year (QB) was redshirted two years ago and played in a mop up role (yeah, he played against Kentucky) this season. LSU is loaded. If you think the Tigers are in for a down year you might want to do a little research. I'd look somewhere else for that win. Don't be surprised if the Tigers beat ND in the Sugar Bowl and start next season ranked in the top 3 in the nation.

 

Or it could be based on the fact that LSU only beat Ole Miss by 3 this year and loses a lot. You're putting a whole lot of emphasis on the beating that UK took this year meaning that they have no chance next year. When talking about UK's win over Clemson you talk about how bad of a game Clemson had, that is true Clemson had a bad game. Kentucky had a bad game against LSU, LSU had a bad game against Mississippi. These things happen in college football. To think that you can throw the uniforms on, line up your top 10 recruiting classes, show up and blow out an SEC team coming off of an 8-5 season with 45 out of its top 51 players returning is simply arrogant and silly. Sure LSU has the superior team but if LSU shows up and displays the same arrogance and disdain for UK's capabilities and performs as they did against Mississippi they could well be returning to Baton Rouge with a loss. Yes, they should win at UK next year but it is far from automatic.

I'm not saying LSU wont' be a top caliber team, but they're going to look very different next year. Add to that the fact that UK isn't losing much, will be looking for revenger, and is playing at home, and you'll have yourself a ballgame.

You beat Clemson by 8 points. Congrats. LSU blew UK off the field by 49. Coach Brooks told me in person it was the worst loss he has ever endured. Predicting beating LSU one year later is far more "arrogant" than anything I've posted. Talk about "silly", you might want to check out the season that followed the last 7-4 season you had. Oh and BTW, the team doesn't check with me prior to the games for motivation. Your last sentence pretty much sums up what I've been saying. FYI, nothing is "automatic" in the SEC. But chances are that the Tigers beat the Cats next year.

Didn't say we won't. UK has traditionally played LSU very tough. I was simply pointing out that picking the Cats over the Tigers next year is a pretty big IF.

I can check for you if you wish.

First off if you go back and read all of my posts you will not find one single instance where I predicted a UK win over LSU. Go ahead and check, I'll wait :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: Done? Okay, now that you've done that after UK's last 7-4 regular season they finished 6-5. A dropoff sure but not exactly that big of one. Perhaps you are referring to 2002 when UK finished 7-5? The next year they slumped to 4-8, after losing their coaching staff and while suffering the effects of probation. Neither of which will be a factor this coming season. LSU did put a tremendous beating on UK this year. However, they also caught UK on their worst day of the year. Do you really think that UK was worse than Tulane, Miss St, Miss, Arizona, La-Lafayette? LSU beat UK worse than all of those teams. It was a case of LSU at its best catching UK at its worst. I wouldn't count on that happening next year.

I could see them winning as many as 8 or 9 games. I think they could shock everyone and beat two of the tough home games on the schedule...best chances being UL and TN IMO. I also think they should beat Vandy, MSU, Florida ATL, EKU and Temple. So they'll have to at least win one or two games that they probably won't be favored in. I think they should beat USC and GA..hopefully UL and Tn as well...but I'm just being optimistic :lol:.

First of all the final score of the Clemson game wasn't indicative of how much UK out played Clemson.

 

If UK beats LSU next year then it would be a major upset. With that being said next year is a new year and I don't think LSU was 49 points better this year. The snowball effect happened that night. I do think LSU is the best team in the SEC this year.

I think it's funny when UK plays as well as they did and ONLY beat Clemson by 8, yet Kentucky lost to Louisville by seven in a game the UL people said the Cards dominated. Some like it both ways I guess.

Kentucky will finish the season with 8 or 9 wins. I am a huge SEC supporter, and despite how strong the confrence is I honestly believe that Kentucky is now a contender. I am being optimistic, but I honestly believe that we have turned the corner. In just one season you may ask, Yes, I think thats all it takes. Kentucky WILL play with Louisville, Arkansas, South Carolina, LSU, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. Kentucky's win over the Bull dogs have hopefully shown these players that they are capable of beating anyone, no mater how strong the SEC is. Theres no reason Kentucky cant be at the top. We were very young this season and played GREAT football at times. 2 touchdowns from being 9-3 in the Regular season and 2nd in the SEC East. Kentucky WILL win against Florida or LSU. Kentucky will beat South Carolia. Kentucky will beat Tennessee. I think the players along with myself are tired of being the doormat. Lets leave that to Vandy. I bet the Cardinals remember their last trip to Commonwealth, and now they are coming in with a much better, more confidant and experienced Kentucky Football Team.

I'll go ahead and say it...winning 9 regular season games? NO WAY, NO HOW...

 

LSU will likely be better, as will Florida, and UT.
