Lol you know a team that isn’t used to winning when they post shite like this.
Dude...you are Kentucky. Nobody cares. Couldn’t even beat a high school offense in a meaningless bowl.

Kentucky beat Penn State in their bowl game, numb nuts.

OP isn’t a UK fan. We beat Penn State in the Citrus Bowl.
0/2.
0/2.

LSU won their bowl game.
I think you’re confused.
And you responded to a Bama fan that insulted you by insulting LSU.

Was referring to when they lost to GT a few years ago and Paul Johnson bout broke Stoops with the cut blocks.
Learn up fool.

Stoops has done a good job up there.
Kentucky is no longer an automatic win on anyone's schedule. They're going to be a tough out for everyone if they can field a decent offense.
The East is getting tougher. Not even UTk is going to be just a lay down autowin for most, wait, um .... well, they will be for Bama, LSU, UGA, Mizzou, SC, UF, MSU, Vandy .... yeah, I take that back about UTk. They're the weak link in the East right now. We apologize in advance for them losing to BYU in September.

UK needs to find some offensive playmakers to really be a threat in the division race. I realize that they had a great year last year, but their game against UGA was not competitive.

The thread title should be "Beware buffet owners". These boys looks like they could put some food away.

No one could have beaten UGA that day.

Yep. They played by far their best game of the season, and we played our worst.
Posted on 7/22/19 at 2:55 pm to Mud_Till_May
so you got a bunch of big fat slow guys. gotcha. That works when you have some good LBers or edge rushers, but if not then you can just run around them.

This is false. UGA had two turnovers on fumbled snaps and exchanges. It wasn’t a very clean game.
UGA’s best game imo was actually the Alabama game in a loss.
