[The Red Eminence]

Final.

Congratulations Gamecocks.


We're screwed!!!

Looking like maybe 4-8, at best. This will be Stoops' last season.

Let’s hope

Just like with Calapari, although Cal did have some good years, Stoops should be fired, PERIOD. I’m tired of bootlickers bragging about where stoops has taken us, what, from 4 wins a year to 6? This is rediculous. FIRE STOOPS

Ok. What next? We fire Stoops. Then what? Who do we get? With the last coach who could lead KY to greatness being dead for 41 years, I believe we get someone on the hotseat at a different university (a promising start) or perhaps a formerly retired, or more likely fired, coach that wants another chance at the game (Another promising start). When we get a new coach, we will go through a customary period of regression. If, like you said, Stoops is winning 6 games a season then we'll briefly move to three wins or worse as the new coach gets their footing. If that coach survives, then the ceiling still remains eight to ten games. Maybe. 

I'll grant an olive branch. If UK gets obliterated this season, and I mean only four wins or worse, then Stoops should absolutely get placed on the hotseat. If UK gets a worse record, I'll join the phalanx calling for his job. I also won't run away from my mistakes. If UK hires someone that leads them to consistent ten- or eleven-win seasons, I'll admit my error. I have no love for Stoops, and I'm certainly not a bootlicker. I'm just a pragmatic fan with a penchant for history.

I got the ‘honor’ of seeing this one in person.  Horrific. Our O-line struggled mightily, two starters went down with injuries, and Vandagriff looked panicked and just lost most of the time. We’ve got playmakers at receiver and two good looking running backs, but without good qb and line play, we’re toast. Defense actually looks pretty good, final today was misleading in that regard, they were put in bad field position situations nearly all game. I went from cautiously optimistic to ready to jump off a bridge in the span of about three hours. And now we have to try to regroup for Georgia. Yikes. Next week may be too ugly to even watch.

After all that happened on the interstate last night, I'm just thankful that you are safe and able to post today!!

  Appreciate that Granny Bear, we actually moved to Richmond a few years ago (gotta be closer to those grandkids you know!), so we avoided that nightmare. I’m just thankful all those kids on the Harlan Co. bus that was close to it stayed out of harms way.

There were three semis that surrounded that bus to protect the kids from gunfire.
I get chills thinking about that!!!

I'll echo all of this. I'm glad to hear you are alright VH!
