And we'll never know. frick coaches that do this shite.


Honestly, I understand why they do it -- if they're the worse team. But Kentucky was actually taking it to them the last few minutes, in their head. Have faith in your defense (that was doing well) and take it to overtime. They were also moving it on offense. Just doesn't make sense.

Meh. shite happens.

I honestly thought the game would've been a laugher, so there's that.

Our D was gassed, so going for 2 wasn't the worst idea. Thought we had it for a second but a shitty throw. O well

Oh well. 7-5 was my preseason prediction. Look forward to the QB battle in the off season and seeing some of the guys we redshirted next season.

Go Cats and good luck Miss State tomorrow. Don't get Lammared

You were 2.5 yards from the endzone with a chance to win the game. I'm going for it every time.

I don't think I've ever seen back to back dumbass decisions by coaches like that and we just fired Butch Jones.


The only thing worse is dumbass AD decisions.

I agree with the 2 pt call. Kentucky had struggled all day moving the ball. I think northwestern would have won it in ot. Why not try to capitalize when they had all the momentum? It's not like they were playing for a championship or anything.




normally I would agree but Kentucky was moving the ball better on offense at the end of the game. Without Snell, I would have kicked it and went to OT. But second guess is always best

The onside kick was stupid

Our D was too gassed to go to OT. They would've moved the ball at will.

Not the worst call to go for 2.

I felt the onside kick attempt was the most egregious thing. I don't know what happened there.

I don't have a whole lot of faith tomorrow. I drew straws and I am calling defensive plays tomorrow.

A tough loss I agree. If the two point conversion had worked we'd be talking about the "yuge" balls Stoops has.

You roll the dice and you takes your chances.

Still a good year for Kentucky.

Totally agree. Don't know why more coaches don't try for 2 in that situation.

OT is always going to come down to one play to win the game.

It may as well be on your terms with 2.5 yards to go.

Kentucky, Missouri and A&M. Get the frick out


MIZZOU had a very good reason! Did you notice MIZZOU was without their OC and OL coach and the HC is a defensive guy! So it was hard to put together a game plan when those two are gone and the head coach is in his first ever bowl game as a head coach. Do not put down Missouri because he is just starting to get the team going in the right direction until OC and OL coach bolt and refuse to do their job at the bowl game. Just maybe Josh Heupel is not that good and was afraid to get expose again against a bowl team this year that are in the power 5 conference. I am glad both are gone and Barry Odom is going to find a better OC that would stay more than 2 years because that is what is needed for MIZZOU to get a good quarterback to come to MIZZOU. Without a stable OC there is no way a good quarterback would come to MIZZOU.
