I actually look forward to the next UK football season once the current one is over. That is just... strange. Especially given all the questions about next year's squad.
But, Stoops has crafted a program that has both my interest and my respect. I haven't felt this way since the 80s with Claiborne.

Don't forget we are losing over 20 players from this team, at some key positions. It looks like maybe a rebuilding year to me. I see a possible 6-6 season. Depending who we have in the SEC next year. Although that didn't seem to matter this year as we lost to 3 SEC teams we should have beat. I'm grateful I decided to retire from working those games. Watching them on TV was bad enough.

Me too Tip! Most of my life, I’ve actually dreaded a new season of Kentucky football.
We probably won’t win an Sec championship in my lifetime, but I can dream. No, not next year, but sometime.

How many of the starting offensive line are returning?? That's where the win loss column will be affected. If we don't have at least 4 of the 5 interior linemen returning I'm not looking forward to much different than this year.

For some reason, I think next season will be an 8 win season. I believe Stoops teams do best when there isn’t as much expectation. I think we beat Vandy and SC next year. Hoping we can beat the Vols, but we seem to be cursed when it comes to them. OC hire will obviously be key, but I think we’ll be pretty solid defensively and the O-line has to be better…because we all know it can’t be worse. 😊

Chances of us finding another QB in the TX portal as good as Levis is pretty low. That's where our downfall will be unless there is a good QB who wants to tx to UK goes in the portal. I hope UK gets some players from the portal that will make me want to watch.
