Kentucky at Alabama

[swamprat]

I'll be watching.

 

BoondockSaint, what do we know about the Cats? Really! They've played one decent team. Win or lose, after Bama, we should know what this UK team is about.

I really don't know what your point is but this isn't the same team from last year, you have to have an offense to upset a top 10 team. Yes they have a pretty decent defense but I will be more than surprised if they score more than 17, and even that seems to be pushing it.

 

I agree it's a different team but to keep discrediting this team is a joke. They defense has played really well and they get no credit or respect.

 

I guess I just don't see the reason to already count out this team when they are a good team and it's another week and a half before this game. I know they haven't played a big team yet or one to Alabama's caliber but we'll just have to wait and see.

[BoondockSaint]

I agree we haven't been able to tell too much about them so far but if anyone here thinks that I'm crazy for picking the top 10 team to win fairly easily over a UK team whose offense struggled to put up points against UofL and MTSU, let alone an Alabama defense then I think you're crazy.

And you'll be rooting for ?????

 

If Kentucky doesn't lose again, it makes my team look better.

Not going to any games in Tuscaloosa this year, since I ended up buying tickets for the game in Knoxville. But to the folks that are going to the game in T-town, you have to spend some time in the Quad...there is nothing like it!

[John Anthony]

I just hope it's a game, let alone the game of the week. Good luck to UK.

Not as good as UL makes us look if their only loss is to UK HAHA

 

As for the game I am SOOOOOO pumped to go to this one. This is my dad's birthday gift from me as I am taking him to the game. It will be the first SEC stadium aside from Commonwealth he has ever been to. I have never been to Tuscaloosa myself, so I am excited for some Dreamland BBQ and to take in all the sights. It makes it even better that I negotiated going to Birmingham on Friday to call on some of my customers, so my gas is pretty much payed for :lol:

 

I don't have delusions that Kentucky will stroll into Alabama and steal an upset, but I sure as heck will be cheering my lungs out in hopes that they do.

MTSU?

[BaseballIsLife]

MTSU is a pretty good little team....

Louisville was decent as well.

 

UK has played two decent teams.

WKU will be a decent team too probably around MTSUs caliber judging how they played against Alabama.

 

The only joke so far has been Norfolk State

[TheDeuce]

MTSU is a pretty good little team....

Louisville was decent as well.

 

The day UK played UL, the Cards offense was not decent, and that's coming from a Louisville fan.

[beleiveinblue54]

UK needs to worry about WKU first IMO. Call me Debbie Downer if you please...

[ADopted ADmiral]

Guys I sure would like for UK to give me a victory on my birthday...:thumb:

[sportsfan41]

Typical fan I guess. Will support them against the easier team but always against them when the bigger teams arrive. A true fan always roots for their team and picks them to win, especially when it's against a tougher team on national tv.

 

The fan you described just sounds naive and ignorant. Not loyal and true to his team. :confused:

[sportsfan41]

It's not just about UK. And there is a difference of being a fan of Pikeville college and them playing Florida or something. I mean UK is not the horrible football team they used to be they are a pretty good team and still do not get respect even from their own fans.

 

UK is like 17-6 over their last 23 games with wins over Clemson, Florida State, Louisville (twice), LSU, Georgia. I mean come on guys.

 

Well we aren't going to base our thoughts off of wins in past years, when we're discussing a game to be played with this years team. This years team hasn't looked nearly as good as Alabama has thus far, simple as that.

Everyone is giving credit to the defense, just not the offense. If you feel the D isn't getting as much respect as they should, it's because they haven't earned THAT much respect just yet.
