Hey SR, we both need to put those orange glasses down!
I picked 'em to lose this week. There's no Orange glasses for me. I never thought Missouri was a good matchup for them.
I said at the beginning of the yr that a good season would be 6-6 and a Bowl bid. It's not too much to ask for them to beat Vanderbilt next week and do exactly that. They'll have nearly half the fans at that game in Nashville. If they can't win that one then they don't deserve a Bowl bid.

No shock here. I felt the same way about that game going into it as I did going into the Bengals game last week vs N.O.

Kentucky won easily. It was a two score game and that's after a late 4th qtr TD by MTSU. I grant you that they still underachieved but that's because they're not very good. Just look at what happened to UK's previous opponent in Knoxville yesterday? This is a historically bad UT Volunteer team and they beat UK easily. And I'm supposed to believe this is a good UK team? I'm not seeing it. To their credit, they managed to eek out a win vs FL. Other than that it's been typical UK football.
They didn't win easily. If MTSU hadn't have given them two TD's in the first qtr they may well have lost. It was a one TD game with under 10 minutes to go. For UK this is a great team. But on the national scale they aren't on par at all with the top tier teams. Their defense was great early on but injuries have slowed them down quite a bit. Two of their better defensive players are playing with broken hands. Still if they can beat a very poor UL team they should go to a fairly major bowl. For UK football that's tremendous and I will take that anytime.
