Western Kentucky 6 Kentucky 34

Much closer than I anticpated...

I know this probaly isn't the correct thread for information on the UK-WKU game in a few weeks but here is some info regarding TV for the game. LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The UK vs. Western Kentucky University football game on Sept. 27 will be televised live on WKYT in Lexington and WBKO in Bowling Green. Per Southeastern Conference television rules, the live over-the-air telecast can be shown only in the home markets of the participating teams. The game also can be seen live inside and outside of Kentucky (no blackouts) on ESPN GamePlan. In addition, the game will be offered on a delayed basis to Big Blue Sports Network affiliates. The UK-WKU game is set for a 7 p.m. kickoff in Commonwealth Stadium on Sept. 27. Kentucky is 3-0 and has an open date this week while WKU carries a 1-2 mark into Saturday’s game vs. Murray State. This will be the first meeting between UK and WKU in football.

I use to enjoy reading Coach Jackson's posts and comments when he was the head coach at Pikeville. For someone that no longer lives in the area, it gave me an extra resource to keep up with my alma mater.

Congrats to #5... Hartline completed 28-of-47 passes for 254 yards with 2 TDs and 0 INT...

I don't know...That was the injury report Brooks gave today in his teleconference via The Cats Pause.

UK Injury Report... -Micah Johnson-High Ankle Sprain-Out Indefinitely -Ricky Lumpkin-High Ankle Sprain-Out Indefinitely -Randall Cobb-High Ankle Sprain-Out Indefinitely -David Jones-Hyperextended Knee-Out a few days -Stuart Hines-Ankle-Out a few days -T.C. Drake-Ankle-Out a few days

A win is a win and 3-0 is great...Having said that, The Cats have a lot to improve on or they will start to get smacked on a weekly basis once conference play starts. MTSU is a good team and gave it all they had...they have nothing to be disappointed about though I'm sure they are. A much needed bye week this week...Hopefully Micah Johnson, Ricky Lumpkin, and Randall Cobb heal up and are ready for the Tide in a few weeks. Go CATS!!!

Jones returned to the game and looked fine... He should be ok and good to go in pratice this week...

I would like to see it moved to Lexington. However, like others have said, it won't happen until UK goes with the field turf and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I would love to see it moved to BG...

Quieten Borders signed with Colorado out of Bryan Station I believe...He stayed in Boulder one season before transfering back closer to home. I believe that is where I have heard his name from...

MTSU-6 UK-31

I say Hartline starts but we will see a lot of Cobb behind center also.

I agree...SEC, PAC 10, and Big XII are the three best conference imo in that order.

OSU-14 USC-35 This one could get ugly as if the Buckeyes were playing a SEC team.

I personally don't like the booing of Hartline...he is talented and will get much better. Cobb is so fun to watch...He has to be on the field. The Defense continues to impress...they were running all ovr the field today making plays and laying some wood. MTSU comes to Commonwealth next week...They took down Maryland tonight at home...can they give the Cats a scare?? We need to continue to improve and take care of business. 2-0!!!:ylsuper: GO CATS!!!

Yep...I saw it also...It was right in front of the ref.

Interesting...I guess he waited to long. He is visiting UofL this weekend I believe, I bet he commits.

Word has it that Hazlett tried to verbal to UK then UC and both programs were full at his postition and would not accept his commitment...Interesting if true. I bet "Big Ed" verbals to UofL after this weekend...

I'm sure tOSU will come back and win the game but man you got to tip your hat to Ohio U. I've been very impressed with the MAC teams so far this year...

From what I have heard/read that 5 Star(Trent Richardson)is anything but solid to Bama...Bama will have to hold off LSU and Florida.

Good point EKU... Rumph was one of the top prospects in last years class and adding him to this years class is big...Rumph turned down offers from Tennessee, VaTech, and Clemson last year to sign with the Cats...If he arrives on campus next year that could be big addition to our defense. Eric Mack, the big O-lineman in next years class, will be atleast be a 4-Star recruit...He will be one of the top O-linemen in the country next year. He will have offers from everybody, and getting him would be a great pickup but it will be tough. He lists South Carolina and Kentucky as his favorites so you never know.

3-Star RB/DB David Sims from South Carolina commited to the Cats this morning. In addition to Kentucky he claimed offers from Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, N.C. State, Oregon and South Carolina. He is projected to play running back for the Wildcats.
