So you're going to look at all-time series records against 1 team to show how a team who used to be doormat isn't respectable now? Seriously?


It was a troll of 8&Forfeit. Kentucky was just collateral damage.

South Carolina fans are a diff breed. At least UTjr was good for a long time. Y’all had like 3 good years and think you’re important. Your team gets hyped up every season and they underperform every year. I guess I’d be a little salty too.

The same thing James Franklin did at Candy. He won OOC games and beat some other bad SEC teams.

I think Franklin only beat one ranked team. One ranked like 18ish.

Never say never. Kentucky can win it in the right circumstances if they continue to hire the right coaches.


The players win championships, not coaches. Kentucky will never win a national title in football unless their recruiting jumps from 20-25 nationally to top 10

They've owned our arse recently. I'd rather see Kentucky have success than the Vols or Gators. I've enjoyed the games with Kentucky over the years and if we go to the 3-6 model, I hope they're included as a permanent opponent.

Doing it the hard way deserves respect. Stoops grinded it out and I think he's got that program to where it *should* be at worst the 3rd best in the East year in and year out.

Your stadium is named after a supermarket chain. That's about as lame as it gets.

Then who recruits the players that get them on campus and win championships?

Kentucky has owned us recently and I still think of them as…well, Kentucky

That’s reality for both of our programs. Plenty think of us the same way we think of Kentucky.

Pockets of success between an overall miserable history.

Is what it is.

Ground. The word you’re looking for is ground.

You bastards were the very definition of arrogance without merit. Give me a fricking break when we turn it around.

I can post about what I want to post about. The little logo next to my name is inconsequential.

The logo is fine. It is what you post that is inconsequential.

Well they have lost to UT 35 times in the last 38 years. That’s impressive for someone.

I’ve never seen anything more pathetic than UK yielding the win to UGA at the start of the 4th QTR. they literally ran the clock out on themselves, not trying to win at all..but playing to say “we scored twice”…I mean congrats and all but what kindof coach does that?
