Time to focus on Kentucky ...

How do we go about beating them?

Hope for a day game

I was not.

Was here at the house getting things done after months of having been preoccupied with something else, an elderly family member.

Wife and I are headed to Vegas Tuesday night and into next week. Picked a bad year not to travel to Lexington I guess. Going to be interesting seeing how the weather plays out up there this year ... so many years it's turned cold as heck when we get there.

Conversely they are calling for record high temps while we are in Vegas ... 95°-100°, but it's a dry heat. lol

I'll be watching the game from our suite. It's supposed to have two side by side 70" TVs ... or so I've been promised.

Last year we were in Vegas for the Mizzou game and it worked out well for us. I hope we have a similar outcome this year.

BTW, y'all Kentucky fans keep saying this season sort of reminds y'all of 2007. Y'all do remember what happened in 2007, right?

We're going to have to limit Snell and hope your QB doesn't turn into a great passer overnight, although he is already serviceable. And we're going to have to establish our running game and be very physical.

I really like what Stoops has done in the trenches with your team. This should be a battle. They made that vaunted front four for MSU's DLine look average. I hope our DLine is up to the task. And I hope our OLine can open some holes for our RBs enough to open up the passing game for Bentley and our WRs.

This game really is big this year.

One of the rowdiest games at Williams-Brice I can remember. Thursday night game, both teams highly ranked, monsoon rain all day, the place exploded with Norwood's first TD and never quieted down the rest of the night.

Yep .... normally I sit up in East Club but that night a coach gave me six tickets for east lower right behind the KY bench and I brough five contractor buddies of mine. We all brought army ponchos and it was raining ... Erin Andrews came over to us and asked if we were military and we said no, not anymore, and she flipoed her hair and walked away.

She was a smoke show .... wearing these skin tight black pants, looked like leather, and had a head of hair like a mane of corn silk. Absolutely beautiful woman, but what a bitch. Another guy I knew at the time, working the visitor's sideline as a facilitator, touched her arm to get her to turn around an ask her if she needed anything to drink like hot tea, or coffee or hot chocolate ... and she told him if he touched her again she would have him removed from the stadium by security.

Norwood had a huge night. So did we after the game. Partied all the way from Five Points to Chapin and then across the lake to the lakehouse ... was still partying when the sun came up.

gonna drop this in here since UK entered the T25 this week.

Carolina/Muschamp vs ranked opponents - by season

beating a #17 UK in Lexington would put an end to a couple of ugly trends, in the series as well as vs ranked teams.

Watched that one from my perch at Uncle Louie's.

May have called in sick that next day.

I was in my first year out of college and was working for Mark Hammond in the Secretary of State's Office. I left the office about 1 that day, went home to change, and out to tailgate. I remember it pouring buckets about an hour before kickoff, everyone was hammered and soaked, but the stadium was electric. We all went straight to Jake's after the game, and I am pretty sure I also skipped out on work the next day. We thought we had a damn good team after that one, only to fall flat a few weeks later.

ETA: I feel good about this weekend. If we can load the box and slow down Snell, I think we win. Force their QB to have to make some plays with his arm. We also can't have a 3 TO day like this past week. Imperative not to let their crowd get into it.

I tend to agree with that on both accounts. I think Kentucky is an average 7-8 win team, but I think Miss State is on their way to finishing 5th in the West.

Miss st oc is an idiot. Fitzgerald is not a drop back passer. Their strength is running the ball but they were determined that he was going to be manning that game.

I was special and had a PULL pass instead of a PRESS pass
