Time to get excited! Unless you’re a UK fan, that is.
I was just looking at our schedule and puked. It’s going to be a long year. I’m going to be optimistic and say we win four, possibly five games. But take heart, I know less about football than I do basketball.
Gottta go, Mona is making me clean this mess up. [ 08-25-2025, 04:48 PM: Message edited by: handycat ]

handy,
Agree....UK could even only win 2 games. They are all the way down to a 7 point favorite against Toledo this weekend.
Schedule is not very forgiving. I am not sure they can win a SEC game this year.
-------------------- Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

I'm thinking four wins is the ceiling for our Cat's. I honestly don't think any coach could win consistently at UK. The Sec is just to tough.

The only medicine for that is to get a top coach who can recruit big players. Of course we know that isn't going to happen at UK.

I am predicting 3 wins if they beat Vandy, and not real confident in that.

Correction: The only medicine for that is to get a bunch of money to pay big money to players. Of course we know that isn't going to happen at UK.
I was really worried about losing Vince Morrow to UofL, but actually, recruiting really doesn't matter much in the day of unlimited transfers and "NIL" (i.e., salaries). It is now all about money.
I think 4 is the upper limit for wins this year too. I hesitate to think what the lower limit might be... [ 08-27-2025, 12:34 PM: Message edited by: Tiptree ]

I'm not so sure we win tomorrow!
Toledo is a pretty solid football team!
