Correct. Empty stadiums got Joker fired. People quit buying tickets and big donors said “ no more”.

More than Stoops, this is Bush Hamdan’s year on the hot seat. I expect Stoops to shed assistants as needed to buy time and Brainfart will let him.

Mark Stoops made Kentucky a better football program...so he is safe. I think they go 7-6 this year...which is good at Kentucky...the expectations are not near the basketball expectations(which Kentucky, Duke, UNC, and Kansas should have).

I think the Iowa State Coach just got one of the biggest extensions in the Big 12. Makes $5M a year now. Stoops makes $9M and had a $35M+ buyout.

Where do you see 6 regular season wins coming from? I see 3 or 4 tops.

Stoops has peaked at Kentucky for what they’re willing to invest in that program. They’ve made it clear they only care for basketball.

Yep. It cost a ton to put money in a ton of sports...UK needs to put it basketball mostly. A starting LT or starting Power Forward. Easy choice for Kentucky.

Stats say otherwise.

70k stadium..one of the smallest in the SEC

Stoops has a higher win percemtage than that nobody Paul "Bear" Bryant. I am sure no one at places like Alabama has ever heard of him. He literally has the highest! You sucked before, the past says you will suck after.

You are bottom tier with Aggies, Vandy, Missouri, Miss State in football. Insane if you think Stoops has not done very well, he has a higher win percentage then Bryamt(considered one of the best CFB)..

Holy shite you Kentucky fans need to remember you absolutely sucked before Stoops. Seriously sucked.

No. Joke coach. Joke program. No wonder he always whines about possibility of nine conference games.

Have admins run IPs. I have 1 account, I have been adamant about my views of alternative accounts, I have used this screen name longer than some of these posters have been alive.

But as a UK fan, thanks for supporting my point with that great example of UKs support of academics. Tell us about expectations of UK football, baseball, softball, ladies basketball, and men’s basketball.

Kentucky Footboot can't do better, the past clearly shows you can't do better..you have to insane to think Kentucky will ever be a top-toer CFB...they can't. Your stadium is bottom tier, your history sucks, you have 0 SEC titles...face the insanely obvious fact..you are a top tier Basketball program but an absolutely terrible Football program. Stats clearly show it...

You are the one allowing alters unfettered access to the Tennessee board. That's on you.

You are just ate up with this. Let’s say I did give alt accounts access to the Tennessee board. It’s a closed board you don’t have access to. Why would it matter?

You were close, they are a mid tier SEC basketball school that that status is tenuous

You are the man who grants access to the Tennessee board?

I am applying right now.

You are in. Hopefully you can post a bit. It’s kinda dead since we don’t have a bunch of alters in there, despite what the once sane UK poster believes
