Cats back in Top 25!

[superrman77]

Ranked 21st in the Country!

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankings?pollId=1&seasonYear=2007&weekNumber=4

[MsgMills]

Wow, SEC has 7 teams in Top 25 and Big Easy has 4, Big Ten has 3 I believe...Didn't count anymore...No need to... But U of L will have somewhat of a cake walk this week coming up against Syracuse...Worst team in Division I........ But you never know about that "D" for U of L........:)

[slickhead slayer]

UK has won 8 of their last 9 games, and the one loss was the Tenn game that UK gave them. Of those wins, that includes Louisville, Georgia, and Clemson. Its time they were ranked.

[KAHUNTER]

I'm glad! The team and the program deserves to be ranked! This team has earned to it!

[AteUp]

That's laughable being that 2 of those teams were from last year. How did Clemson and Georgia end up in the rankings at the end of season? One would think if you beat a team, (UL) you would end up being ranked above them. Hmm, funny how that works. Congrats btw, on that "almost" win to a bad Tennessee team. Bet that garnered you a few points in the polls this week.

Unfortunately thats how the polls work early in the season, its what you did last year. Do you really think that UK is 3-0 and beat UL, and UL is 2-1 and lost to UK, but the polls think UL is better? Of course not, UL was just so overrated that they can only fall so far.

Yeah didnt Michigan fall to 18th after being spanked by Appalachian St.....?

[AteUp]

To be honest, yes. 1 game doesn't determine the better team. The season will determine that. I guess you think the last UK team to beat UL was better?

BTW, I'm not saying that UL is a better team this year, as the rest of the season should determine that. It's way too early. I'm just guessing here, but if Michigan played App-St 10 times, they would beat them 9 out of 10. Again, not saying Michigan is a national power this year, but they are better than ASU, IMO.

[AteUp]

Yeah, spanked??, LOL. And if they had won against Oregon, they would have stayed in the top 25.

[slickhead slayer]

They are a D2 team. UK was ranked in the high 20's or low 30's in polls that went up that much. UL got beat on the road by a top 30 team, its tough to drop them anymore than 9 or 10 spots like they did.
Big difference in a loss on the road to a top 30 team, and a loss at home to a D 1-aa team.

My money is on you never getting them to understand that concept.

[maxcam]

Maybe Appalachian State loses 9 out of 10 and maybe if Kentucky had two all american cornerbacks and a couple of freaks playing defensive tackle they would contend for a national title.....But on their respective Saturday contests both teams showed up and met the challenge standing in front of them while Michigan and Louisville failed to do the same.....

Quit grasping at straws! You need to figure out how you are going to get past West Virginia Rutgers and USF.......

You are exactly correct. 110%. Thanks for making my point. UK deserved to win, prolly by more points than they did.

[slickhead slayer]

My money is on you never getting them to understand that concept.

Wow, what philosophy. UL was better than UK last year because they beat us, now all of a sudden UK wins, and one game doesn't mean anything.:rolleyes: I have never met more sore loosers than UL fans.
The good thing is that you get to now go hide in the Big east. A couple wins over less than mediocre Big east talent, and UL will have their false sense of accomplishment back.

As far as you putting your money on it. My money says that in 2 years, it will be like the good old days, and you will be able to get UL tickets free with a gallon of milk at Krogers.

[maxcam]

Here is the real kick in the pants for UofL.....I was just reviewing their remaining schedule......

What marquee game does coack K use to bring in his next stellar bunch of recruits? Pittsburgh? Surely he wont risk it all and wait for the season finally agaisnt Rutgers which more than likely will result in another upset at home by the Scarlett Knights......

Losing to low life cellar dweller Kentucky is going to hurt the Cardinal Nation for years to come I predict......Ild be willing to bet with the recruits that UofK had at the game last night watching along with nearly 71,000 screaming fans that the Cats will recieve a slight edge in signing the better athletes......Thank You Coack K!

[AteUp]

Wow, what philosophy. UL was better than UK last year because they beat us, now all of a sudden UK wins, and one game doesn't mean anything.:rolleyes:

Actually, we were better because we beat you, went to a BCS bowl and won that too.

[AteUp]

I have never met more sore loosers than UL fans.

How do you figure sore losers??? How many have said that UK didn't deserve to win yesterday? We just haven't been drinking that big blue koolaid you guys have that somehow makes a win yesterday erase all past history.

[KYhunter79]

Wow, what philosophy. UL was better than UK last year because they beat us, now all of a sudden UK wins, and one game doesn't mean anything.:rolleyes: I have never met more sore loosers than UL fans.

Or because we won our conference? Not to mention we beat you guys by over 30 points. You all won by 6 on a last second play due to blown coverage in a game that everything that could have went right for UK did. (TO and interception on first two touches.) So if UL wins the rest of their games and is big east champs and win a bcs bowl and UK is at .500 and doesn't go to a bowl are you still going to think UK is better?

The good thing is that you get to now go hide in the Big east. A couple wins over less than mediocre Big east talent, and UL will have their false sense of accomplishment back.

We play 4 teams that are AT LEAST as good/much better than UK. Cincy received over 50 votes this week, so its likely that soon the big east will have 5/8 teams ranked. Put down that blue Kool-aid. Less the mediocre talent? Ray Rice? Steve Slayton? Pat White? Matt Grothe?

As far as you putting your money on it. My money says that in 2 years, it will be like the good old days, and you will be able to get UL tickets free with a gallon of milk at Krogers.

And where will UK be? This is the win that changed the program!!! One good win (over an overrated team) and you would think you guys are a perennial powerhouse.

[AteUp]

Just heard that Tom Brady's newborn son was so impressed with the win and the direction the UK program was headed, that he signed a letter of intent for the 2025 season.

[KYhunter79]

For the record I didn't see your post on blue kool aid or a BCS victory before I posted that. ODD. Sports experts must think alike.

Maybe Tom's son will follow in the footsteps of the great Andre Woodson and Win the Heisman on his way to leading UK to a National championship?;)

Here you go 79, breaking your all time favorite phrase to the UK fans. " Stop talking about the "PAST" and talk about the future......

We play 4 teams that are AT LEAST as good/much better than UK. Cincy received over 50 votes this week,

I know of two teams in the Big Easy that are better than UK...WVA and Rutgers...No one else has even proven they can hang with the Cats this year.... I'll give S. Florida credit, they beat Auburn this year, but now from the looks of it, Auburn is worse off than everyone thought they would be this year....

so its likely that soon the big east will have 5/8 teams ranked.

The Big Easy will be lucky to have two teams in the Top 25 as the end of the season, after you all (Big Easy Conference) finish beating each other up in League play..... U of L gets Syracuse this week and then the beatings will begin almost every other week. If not on successive weeks.... So one more loss and the cards will fall out of the Top 25......Might not if they lose to either Rutgers or WVA first....But if they lose to Cincy or S. Florida first, then they drop out and will remain out of the Top 25.



And where will UK be? This is the win that changed the program!!! One good win (over an overrated team) and you would think you guys are a perennial powerhouse.

"OMG" I can't believe my eyes, 79 has finally admitted that "U of L was an overrated team" now where did that statement come from, since he continues to swear that U of L will play in a BCS Bowl game this year..... But right now, UK is a power house team, cause they knocked off the # 9 ranked team in the nation, baby......Got to love those Cats.......

You can think I don't know what I'm talking about all you want, but so far my knowledge of football is much more true and proven my friend...

Now sit back and watch those 5 losses take place as the season unfolds each week...... U of L will be wanting coach K's head on a platter by the end of the season, especially when they lose the Bowl game at the end of the year.........:)

[WildmanWilson]

And what kind of chance would UofL had of winning their conference if they had been in the SEC ? Ky will alway have a harder time shinning in the most powerfull football conference in the nation. It's not hard to see we are getting much better and are better than many teams that are ranked above us.

Little brother will forever be in the Big Blue shadow of the Wildcats. Just take it like a man and ease back into submission and save yourselves the heartacke.;)

UK had 50 recruits at that game. You don't think one game could make or break a team for the next few years????

[maxcam]

I read those posts and I cannot believe some of the lame excuses Im hearing.......Bad calls, no calls, all the calls against us, I even read one fans insinuation that he wishes Ron Cooper was back at the helm......

.

Everything went well for UK???????:confused:
Your being biased again. We had to settle for those two early FG's, they should have both been TD's. We missed an extra point, and we missed an absolute wide open in the end zone TD pass right before the end of the first half, allowed a kick of return, silly penalties, etc etc etc.
Lets face it, I am a biased uk fan and your a biased ul fan. So lets see what others had to say about the game. How about UL writer and lover Eric Crawford? Front page of the Courier Journal sports page........." UK's big win wasn't even all that close".

UK controlled both lines of scrimmage, Little had over 150 yards rushing, more than the whole UL team.:eek:
This supposed incredible UL offense, only scored 1 offensive TD in the second half, and that was with 1:45 left in the game.:eek:
I just don't see how a reasonable person can't see that UK is a better team. Like Eric Crawford said.........It wasn't really that close.;)

[ryan hickey]

How do you figure sore losers??? How many have said that UK didn't deserve to win yesterday? We just haven't been drinking that big blue koolaid you guys have that somehow makes a win yesterday erase all past history.



sure, both of u said uk deserved to win. then, in the next sentence whining commences. u guys got beat by a better team, it is what it is guys. we won, u lost, little brother is back in his place. ahhh, life is good.:)

[EKY.MTN.HUNTER]

Fellow Kentucky fans, relax. Don't even argue with "79 and ateup about UK & UL. As you all know we started throwing jabs at each other 3 weeks before the game was even played last Saturday night. As you can remember I think the theme of the forum turned to "no matter what I say to you, or what you say to me, the game will be decided on the field," and it was. Now as you can see, sour little '79 and ateup are left with nothing but words. We don't have to fight battles with words, we won on the football field. There is nothing left to argue about, the battle was fought, and we won. Your never going to convince '79 or ateup about anything concerning the cards, lets just sit back and laugh at their desperate attempts to jab with words...It’s obvious through reading this entire thread that the overwhelming majority realizes just how irrational and distraught they are, let ‘em be. Let’s move on Cat fans because we’ve got bigger fish to (attempt) to fry. Good-day.

[ryan hickey]

well said eky mtn, i mean what do we expect? they're ul fanz, and its what they do.

[Multidigits]

Two ways to look at this thing.

One, that U of L is a pathetic football team and that this win doesn't mean anything, as 79 seems to be saying. That means if U of L goes on to win the Big least and have a 1 loser record, that they are simply just like most people have been saying for the last couple of years....not ready for prime time.
l
Then again, IF U of L is really a good or very good football team, and they prove it by winning out and winning the Big Least and what ever else.....then it means that U of K is just as good or a tad bit better and that Woodson is just as good as Brohm or a tad bit better and that if U of K ends up with a few loses, then the schedule is a lot tougher than what U of L has.....same as a lot of people have been saying all along.

Either way, this past weekends game belongs to the Cats. They played as good plus some. It was billed as a scoring contest which it was, just that the Cats scored more than the birds did.

[yote hunter]

this is really good:Dhttp://louisville.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=658&tid=100990910&mid=100990910&sid=923&style=2

From the sound of the fans they are already wanting a new coach.....:rolleyes:

[MsgMills]

Someone should tell U of L that if they can't fill their Stadium and sell out all Home games on it's schedule. That adding more seats is a moot idea, they need to become a more watched team like Big Brother. UK sold 71,000 tickets to the game last Saturday, even with the expansion U of L will never sell that many tickets to a home game...


That is unless U of L is playing a home game against the UK Cats....:)

[Multidigits]

Francine going to talk about the U of L players and the double bird coming out of the tunnel tomorrow AM. Should be interesting to see how U of L fans justify that type of behavior.

[EKY.MTN.HUNTER]

It's really pretty simple Multi, that kind of behavior is what you would expect from a bunch of football players that attend a "ghetto commuter college," that by the way sports a gang-style old english L on the side of their helmets.

Let's compare apples to apples, throw UL up against UK's remaining schedule and see if they break the 500 mark. Most of the SEC, excluding UK, plays the best deffense in the country. UK may not break 500 this year, but lets just compare schedules and talk when the seasons over. Oh and by the way this in no biased opinion bc I'm a GATOR FAN!

[slickhead slayer]

How many points did MTSU put up against LSU last weekend? .

The answer is zero against LSU,40 against Louisville. But i think LSU coach Les Miles addressed that exact question, and answers it much better than I.


Les Miles (postgame interview) was asked about the fact that MTSU put up 500+ yds and 40+ points on Louisville last week, and were held to under 100 here....and he said "Well, don't buy too much into that Louisville ranking. I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, and I'm sure Louisville is talented, but if they were in our conference they'd be beat by 5 or 6 teams."


Amen Coach, Amen!!!!!!!!

Words by Woody

Unlike predecessors, Barnhart hopes Brooks and Gillispie won’t use UK as steppingstone

Being a small-time athletic program and losing your coveted head coach can kind of feel like losing your job after battling alcoholism. Just when you think you’re on to something, you receive the sobering news that your big-time coach is headed for Big-Time U. For University of Kentucky Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart, getting the wrong coach at the right time is essential to building a healthy but stagnant athletic program.

Although small college athletic directors would like to get the best coaches in their respective sports, there is always a downside in getting an ultra talented head coach. At schools like Kentucky, where rational fan bases and coaching retention rates are slim, ADs must look for that mediocre sweet spot, a coach they know will keep the fans and boosters happy but not so good that he will leave as soon as the big boys start calling.

In just the last 10 years, Kentucky has been home to many coaches who simply wanted a better home. In football, it’s been Guy Morriss to Baylor, Hal Mumme to New Mexico State, and Bill Curry to the Wednesday night ESPN announcing crew. In basketball, it’s been Rick Pitino to the Boston Celtics and Louisville, and Tubby Smith to Minnesota.

Since Kentucky has experienced its share of coaching fallout, Barnhart’s main challenge is to find a coach who finds something in Lexington worth sticking around for. In football coach Rich Brooks and basketball coach Billy Gillespie, Barnhart thinks he found his sweet spot.

Brooks “means what he says”
“Continuity is important, so you don’t always want the best available coach,” says Barnhart. “After Guy left, I thought, ‘Why take (Steve) Spurrier when you know the guy is gone in a couple of years?’ Some coaches are just more interested in advancing their careers than others.”

Instead of going after the big name with the loose leash, Barnhart hired Rich Brooks, an aging coach known for turning Oregon into a basketball school and building St. Louis Rams running back Lawrence Phillips’ illustrious career. Barnhart notes that Brooks is the ultimate “I’m going to be here for you...’till I die” kind of guy, a promise that some people will say he has already fulfilled, at least in spirit.

“With Coach Brooks, you know he’ll be here for a while because no one else is going to want him,” says Barnhart. “No job hunting after a successful season. No accusations of recruiting promises left unfulfilled.

“I take comfort in the fact that when Coach walks into a player’s home, he can truly look into his eyes and say, ‘Grandson, I’ll be at the University of Kentucky for your entire four years.’ Barring a stroke, heart attack, or a call to become the next Cialis spokesman, he’s going to mean what he says.”

Although Brooks is off to a strong 3-0 start and a win against archrival Louisville in 2007, Barnhart is confident his coach is in Lexington for the long haul.

“Did you see him call for an extra point when we were up by 5 with less than a minute to go?” laughed Barnhart, referring to Kentucky’s six point victory against the Cardinals. “The ol’ man is not going anywhere.”

Gillispie has “yet to prove anything”
Brooks is in his fifth year at UK and has compiled an otherwise disappointing but booster friendly 19-30 record. Barnhart hopes basketball will follow in similar footsteps.

“We’re trying to do the same thing with basketball as we did with football,” says Barnhart. “I looked at (Billy) Donovan, (Tom) Izzo, (Thad) Matta, and even (Rick) Pitino, but in the end I knew I needed to settle on a coach who has yet to really prove anything, and that’s what I got.”

What Barnhart got was Billy Gillispie, a self-proclaimed workaholic who transformed Texas high school basketball and led University of Illinois’ second team against its first team in practice. Although Barnhart is hopeful Gillespie eases the fears of the Wildcat faithful, he seems worried the man with no documented family and aw-shucks personality will find too much success too soon.

“When I look at Billy, I see a man who cares about nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, but Kentucky basketball,” says Barnhart. “The guy would rather sweet talk a 14-year old recruit than call his mom to wish her ‘happy birthday.’ I’m not even sure if he has a mom. That scares me because I’m afraid he’ll be too good for us.”

Although Gillispie may be too good, he may also be too risky for other schools to pursue. Barnhart points to Gillispie’s two DUI arrests and rumored homosexuality as reasons prospective schools will shun the coach once the wins pile up.

“The hidden gem here is those two arrests and that he talks like some sort of gay ventriloquist,” he says. “Once the guy is able to walk in a straight line while completing a coherent statement, I’ll be worried.”

Who doesn’t need to be worry is Kentucky’s rabid fan base. With Brooks and Gillispie at the helm, consistent mediocrity and coaching continuity is here to stay. That’s something all Lexingtonians can raise a glass to.

[nwest]

That ain't right ateup,,

[perrymax]

I'm always amazed at the Uof L fans who really think their football program is right there with Tennesee, Florida, Michigan, Texas, USC, etc. They're not and it is highly unlikely that they ever could be. I just can't see recruits who can go to schools like that choosing UofL instead. I think most UK fans at least understand where the program is at! Wake Forest was not that great!!!!! They got beat by Clemson!!!

UofL fans act like UofL has always dominated UK. I don't care how long ago the games were played UK leads the series. 10-9 The score is 580-465

The guy has no perception of facts. Guy Morris was pushed out because barnhart wanted his boy. I thought it was a classless move on Barnharts part, but never the less, thats what happened. Baylor is terrible, you don't leave UK for baylor. And hal Mumme got FIRED, and Curry ALSO got FIRED.
How can you say that these coaches "WANTED" a better home???? They were FIRED. UK has never had a football coach or basketball coach that ever chose to go to another program in college.....NEVER.

The only coach we have EVER had go on to bigger things was Pitino, and that was jumping to the pros. The writer is off his rocker.

The only coach we have EVER had go on to bigger things was Pitino, and that was jumping to the pros. The writer is off his rocker.[/quote

I'm only a Cat fan when they play little brother. And I even knew that the guy was off his horse by saying what he did about the coaches at UK....Eddie Sutton was fired/resigned as well...

U of L fans quit drawing straws and quit crying over getting beat by UK....Your dreams of winning a National Championship were only a "DREAM".... Now get on with life and admit that U of L is a mediocre Team playing in Division I Football........:cool:

[perrymax]

Bear Bryant left for Alabama because UK cared more for basketball. That was when UK moved to the football cellar. Hopefully fans will realize football is much more fun but I doubt it.

You ever hear the story about Rupp getting the Cadillac and Bear getting the watch?

If you look up "pushed out" on Google, it comes up with Smellnburger, Crum and Ron Cooper, mentions that another one might be just around the corner. Sure is quiet since last Saturday.

WKY just beat MTSU.They only allowed MTSU to score 17 points, while UL allowed them to score 42.:eek:
Who does UL think they are? Thats just terrible, and exposes them for the smoke and mirrors they are.
This also means that UL isn't even the SECOND best team in the state.
Sorry cards, its time to go back to getting free tickets at Super America again, your 15 minutes of fame is over.

[maxcam]

Slick dont be to quick to judge the Ville.....Western did give up more first downs to MTSU.......But come to think of it.....Its probably because the Cards couldnt stop them on the way to the end zone! :D

[AteUp]

The guy has no perception of facts. Guy Morris was pushed out because barnhart wanted his boy. I thought it was a classless move on Barnharts part, but never the less, thats what happened. Baylor is terrible, you don't leave UK for baylor. And hal Mumme got FIRED, and Curry ALSO got FIRED.

It's just a joke brother. I have no idea who even wrote the thing. Really I'm trying to stay out of here because I'd hate for someone to cry conspiracy that I was trying to manipulate the threads.:rolleyes: (PS: I hate Ft Knox and LBL so much, I was in on the merging of those threads in the deer forum too.:eek:) You fellows carry on with your love-fest. Congrats on making it to the big time.;)

Come one Ateup, they already ran 79 off if you take your ball and go home who will we pick on:rolleyes:

If U of L keeps up this type of game play, they might just become a "STEP-Brother" to the Cats and Western KY will take over the Little Brother position. Besides, Western Ky does at least have KY in their name to begin with, more than Louisville .....:D

[MsgMills]

Oh where oh where
Has my 79 gone
Oh where oh where could he be
I'll say it again, again if I must, he should have listened to "ME"....:D:D:D

[SPURX2]

I love being a cat fan, we are the flagship school of this great state. AteUP's post was comical for the fact that WHOEVER did write it must have been snorting blow for at least 36 straight hours before they could compose something so ludacris. I think it would be interesting for the cats and cards to swap schedules for the year and see who makes it to what bowl game.

[slickhead slayer]

Nah, we gotta beat a good team before we make it to the bigtime.

[SPURX2]

nice one and very good

[MsgMills]

Must be something special for Western KY ( who just last year was a Division II Team) On probation this year and next year before they will qualify for Division I Status Level. So it is quite amazing that a Division II Team, such as Western KY. held MTSU to 17 points and the so called Big Time U of L Cards let MTSU score 42 points..... Now does this finally tell the U of L Card fans just how low U of L has finally sunk to....... Even now Division II Schools are doing better than U of L is........:D:D:D

[Redfishman]

ZERO..... MSTU did not score. Can anybody get me some tickets for the LSU vs Ky game on the 13th?

Uhhhhh....... you gonna be able to get some "yard" leave?????

Geaux SEC- Geaux Tigers--- BEAT BAMA

[ryan hickey]

anybody seen/heard from '79?:confused: suicide watch maybe?!:):eek:

[slickhead slayer]

Old buckfever hasn't come over here to get his medicine either.:D

I wonder if buckfever is still saying that UL would beat LSU. LOL!!!!!!!

[MsgMills]

Man talk about plain and simple " SORE LOSERS ".....:D:D:D

Actually, Western has been a Division I football team for quite a few years.

I think he means this is their first year as a division 1A team where as they were a 1aa

Sorry but Western is still on Probation of sorts by the NCAA for possible entry into Division level I from Division Level II. MTSU is the first Division Level I school that they have beaten since they have applied to become a Division Level I Football Program.

I agree that they might be a Level I for Basketball, but not quite in Football...:)

Sorry, but Western has played Division I football for years....not Division II. What they are doing is moving from what used to be Div. I-AA to what used to be Division I-A. You can't compete in D-1 in basketball and not compete in D-1 in football too. So a few years ago, the powers that be decided to further sub-divide Division I football.

I just get a little sensitive about non-BCS D-1 football being called D-II....even if it isn't much better.:D

Wow, in two games UK goes from nobodys to #14 and UL goes from nobodys ranked #9 to..........just plain nobodys:cool:

[Split_Ear]

My,my, how things can change!! I like this line out of the courier article "The Cards are in theory ranked 32nd if one counts "other's receiving votes" in the USA Today poll. They received no votes in the AP poll."

BTW I wonder where ole Kyhunter79 has been?? It's one thing to be a fan and support your team, it's another to be a annoying U of L fan who has been on this site talking bs for the last 6 weeks as if he's some college football "expert" then his team comes out and plays like this!!!! Pathetic...

MsgMills, you need to keep reminding these Louisville fans where they stand...:D

Ok, I just knew they were trying to do something totally different and on some sort of funny status for two years. Glad they are now the # 2 team in the State, and passed some Jr. College called U of L...I think it stands for University of Loser's.:D:D:D:D
