September 12, 200719 yr Surprised? Why should we be surprised if UoFL beats UK? UK isn't the favored team and hasn't been in 10years.
September 12, 200719 yr I will be suprised if UL does not win. You can make arguments for UK/UL to be equal to one another at many positions, but no place can one really say, "Hey, UK has the advantage there" (besides playing at home). And from everything I am lead to believe by UL people, for the other positions not equal, UL should have an advantage. Whether that is true or not is up for debate I guess.
September 12, 200719 yr Author Surprised? Why should we be surprised if UoFL beats UK? UK isn't the favored team and hasn't been in 10years. On the BGP thread UK is slightly favored, so I figured I'd ask. I know a few people (outside of BGP) who have been talking about it as if a UK win is a gimme.
September 12, 200719 yr Top 10 team beating a non ranked team......? It happened with Appy State beat Michagan.:thumb:
September 12, 200719 yr Plus, there aren't enough threads on the subject. Something has to fill the void now that Tubby is gone...
September 12, 200719 yr I know a few people (outside of BGP) who have been talking about it as if a UK win is a gimme. A gimme? Those people are not smart and I recommend you cease and desist any friendships with said people.
September 12, 200719 yr Author A gimme? Those people are not smart and I recommend you cease and desist any friendships with said people. Ever since high school, my social network has seemed to have gone straight downhill... but hey, everybody needs somebody... yes, EVEN if they're UK fans.:thumb:
September 12, 200719 yr Something has to fill the void now that Tubby is gone... You are right there:laugh:
September 12, 200719 yr I 100% do not agree with your latter point. UK fans may not be surprised (although I would be mildly surprised, not shocked mind you, but surprised), but I can promise you the rest of the country would be. Have you noticed the AP Poll? UK hasn't garnered even 1 vote -- heck, even Kansas has 1 vote. You think the #9 team in the country going to a team not even sniffing the Top 25 and losing wouldn't be a surprise? Realize, most odds-makers offer between 2 and 3 points for home field in College Football, so even they are saying UL is nearly 10 points better on a neutral field. I think the rest of the Country would be flat-out shocked if UL doesn't win this game. What do you (everyone, plural) think would be a bigger upset Nationally: * #9 UL losing at un-ranked UK * #1 USC losing at #14 ranked Nebraska * #5 Florida losing at home to #22 Tennessee * #10 Ohio St. losing at un-ranked Washington Frankly, I think UL losing to UK would be the biggest upset Nationally of those 4 games. Anyone who is shocked when a team that is favored by less than a touchdown loses on the road, especially in a rivalry game, either doesn't follow football or is constantly in a state of shock...
September 12, 200719 yr Anyone who is shocked when a team that is favored by less than a touchdown loses on the road, especially in a rivalry game, either doesn't follow football or is constantly in a state of shock... UK is a 6.5 dog and a touchdown is 6 points...so thereofore I agree with you.
September 12, 200719 yr It happened with Appy State beat Michagan.:thumb: But Michigan overlooked Appy State, Louisville is ready to :flame: Kentucky. Point blank. Louisville wins by 3 Touchdowns.
September 12, 200719 yr UK isn't the favored team and hasn't been in 10years. I'm pretty sure they have....
September 12, 200719 yr But Michigan overlooked Appy State, Louisville is ready to :flame: Kentucky. Point blank. Louisville wins by 3 Touchdowns. Me thinks you're going to look really foolish come 11 PM Saturday night....
