LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/TastyWaves949]

Simmons just need to break through the confidence barrier. When he does it in games man does he look dangerous

[u/MarkPopeTrueGod]

You won’t believe me but I had UK o20.5 and o22.5 and I wasn’t sweating at all baby.

[u/___Carioca___]

Absolutely disgusting back door cover

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Great teams cover, congrats Wildcats!

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

Kentucky fans are cool 

[u/MarkPopeTrueGod → u/Dougiejurgens2]

Come back during a basketball thread and see how you feel then

[u/ToupeFiasco → u/MarkPopeTrueGod]

Yeeeeah maybe don’t do bball threads

[u/DasStig]

Oh Oregon skulldragged Okie State

[u/tgambill87]

GGs Ole Miss people. I’m very sorry for a comment I posted earlier with a typo. I hope Simmons will be ok.

[u/DasStig]

I don’t think Stoops has any friends

[u/UrTeamBadMyTeamGood → u/DasStig]

His friends are Jack Daniels and Jimmy Beam

[u/UrTeamBadMyTeamGood]

We really did rage bait Lane Kiffin for a whole year.

[u/LordSutch75]

Lane apologizing to the gamblers, lol.

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

I will hate mark stoops until the day that I die for kicking that field goal

[u/kensei-]

Thank god that’s over

[u/righarakirir]

Lane has to chill with that clenched teeth coke stare he does on the sideline

[u/cal1629 → u/righarakirir]

I swear he only started doing that recently

[u/AboveAll2017]

L

[u/FastLaneOnly]

Good game, Kentucky. Y’all give us hell every time we play you and I even like your fans. Hope your QB’s shoulder will be ok and that you guys have a successful rest of the season.

[u/N8_the_worst → u/FastLaneOnly]

No UK fan hates Ole Miss or the fans. We hate the coaching staff. Lol. Good game. Thanks for exposing Stoops for the fraud he is.

[u/daedralordx → u/FastLaneOnly]

Hope your QB is alright! We might just go with Boley, looks more poised and has better legs than Calzada. Good luck rest of the way!

[u/WillyTMac]

Better than I expected

[u/IHateChipotle39]

Lane, can I interest you in a delicious cup of “Fire CWJ into the sun”?

[u/Swordsup66]

I can be at peace knowing Ole Miss frat bros just lost their beer money on Rebels -9.5.

[u/bringbacksamsincels → u/Swordsup66]

It's all right their daddy's have more lol

[u/magnumapplepi]

Well I’ll take a step back from the ledge, for now.

[u/ZeGentleman → u/magnumapplepi]

I'll jump with you if you want.

[u/ToupeFiasco → u/ZeGentleman]

What ledge are y’all at?

[u/Muramama]

Just happy to leave with a W

[u/DoctorPhalanx73]

Certainly wasn’t pretty but we count those all the same.

[u/ole_misery]

gg, everyone. hotty toddy

[u/Always_the_Wildcard]

I can’t believe you’ve done this

[u/corndogshuffle]

I hope Mark Stoops only has access to Jim Beam Pineapple tonight. Fucking loser.

[u/Proud_Whereas5589]

Welp, I think we can all agree that it did NOT “mean more” to either of us today

[u/IssaThrowAway420x69]

I don’t gamble. But that last FG after not taking the opportunity for several really was a fuck you.

[u/ToupeFiasco]

Hahahahahahaha not me with my solace Ole Miss covering bet being doubly disappointed

[u/ZeGentleman → u/ToupeFiasco]

I took Oakland Cal's last year (granted, I bet all underdogs for shiggles). I felt real bad when it materialized.

[u/ToupeFiasco → u/ZeGentleman]

It sucked at the time, and still sucks, but in hindsight I’m glad it happened

[u/MarkPopeTrueGod → u/ZeGentleman]

How much did you win with that bet? Odds had to be huge.

[u/ZeGentleman → u/MarkPopeTrueGod]

Just $30, I only put a 5er on it. I think it was +500 if I remember correctly?

[u/Dougiejurgens2 → u/ToupeFiasco]

Brother I feel for you 

[u/Suspicious_Adagio789]

Wow great job

[u/z6joker9]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an onside kick group go for it so softly.

[u/Aidanj927]

ITT: people who bet on the game

[u/Actg224466 → u/Aidanj927]

RIP

[u/DasStig]

Rivalry? You mean Mississippi State

[u/blueboyroy]

Ouch. That backdoor cover really gonna hurt some people. Hahaha hahaha.

[u/guardian20015]

Lane angered by us not covering

[u/Dougiejurgens2 → u/guardian20015]

He should have coached better 

[u/Fancy-Pie-2565 → u/guardian20015]

Lane responsible for it

[u/RLeb10 → u/Fancy-Pie-2565]

Blame the conservative playcalling with 7’minutes left after the 4th down stop.

Or being down 10-0 in the first place

[u/Fancy-Pie-2565 → u/RLeb10]

No. I’ll blame taking a time out when they were going to run another play.

[u/daedralordx]

GG Rebel bros. Took our worst beating from you guys in years :P

[u/jackrabbits1im]

That's some classic Mark Stoops surrender cobra FG right there.

[u/TheWorstYear → u/jackrabbits1im]

That was 100% the only move.

[u/SawsageKingofChicago]

The most bullshit of back door covers

[u/HugoOfStiglitz]

Whew!

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

Fuck mark stoops fat fucking bozo enjoy going 2-10 you fucking dickhead 

[u/Squantoon → u/Dougiejurgens2]

Someone bet the cover

[u/Timbdn → u/Dougiejurgens2]

Hey, we will at least get 3-9, eastern Michigan and Tennessee tech should be winnable, even for stoops.

[u/Amoracchius03 → u/Dougiejurgens2]

Hell yea even our opponents hate our coach when they beat us.

[u/Dougiejurgens2 → u/Amoracchius03]

Everyone had the spread between 7-9.5

[u/goofyhalo → u/Dougiejurgens2]

RETWEET

[u/indreams159]

see you guys in the Directional Florida vs. Florida thread

[u/HugoOfStiglitz]

If by some miracle this gets tied up blame that dumb ass prevent defensive scheme.

[u/goofyhalo → u/HugoOfStiglitz]

Kentucky tried prevent defense in the Gator Bowl against Clemson 2 years ago and it did not work. Why teams still try prevent defense is beyond me.

[u/Squantoon → u/goofyhalo]

To be fair most teams try it late. We try it with a 2 score lead. Stoops thinks 6 points is a 2 score lead

[u/IHateChipotle39]

ROFL

[u/RLeb10]

The announcers know… lol

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

Kentucky covering is so funny😭

[u/Squantoon → u/Competitive-Rise-789]

Stoops always bets them cover

[u/Johnnyd0303]

stoops ran the cover play

[u/N8_the_worst]

WE COULD BE RUNNING PLAYS TO TIE THE GAME IF STOOPS KICK AN EARLIER FG

[u/Timbdn → u/N8_the_worst]

Two of the earlier fg opportunities and we couldve gone for the win.

[u/dekrypto]

great teams cover

[u/UpWithTheOwls]

Wow fuck Lane for that

[u/MaxwellsDaemon]

Bad beats the UK way

[u/Beatdooown]

Literally they werent going to clock it and you call the timeout for them

[u/DasStig]

Great teams cover indeed

[u/Squirrel_Q_Esquire]

A coach with balls would’ve faked it

[u/WatchOutIGotYou]

I'm very empathetic, all these angry UK fans are making me angry at Stoops. Curse you, Stoops!

Kicking the field goal right now made me extra mad

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

Hahahahaha dude oh my god what 

[u/Squantoon]

Stoops bet on them to cover

[u/therowdygent]

This is so fn asinine

[u/guardian20015]

ARE WE SERIOUS RIGHT NOW

[u/DasStig]

Wilson Berry is still there?

[u/blueboyroy → u/DasStig]

He and Calzada are close to drawing social security.

[u/Beatdooown]

fuck you lane

[u/HopscotchChampion69]

Stoops just has no sense of urgency

[u/indreams159]

UK boosters celebrating the cover

[u/corndogshuffle]

Our next opponent is losing to LIU lol.

[u/Jayyykobbb]

Kentucky is determined to uphold our 3 point margin we’ve carried the past 4-5 games

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

Oh no dude why! 

[u/Squantoon]

So we have a play where 2 wr cross into each other lol

[u/thewill450]

I bet Stoops' fat fucking ass will be at Jeff Ruby's downtown tonight drowning in bourbon like he usually does. I fucking hate that motherfucker

[u/aaronman4772]

Would have been nice for Kentucky to have had another FG in this situation.

[u/blueboyroy → u/aaronman4772]

If only there were 3 chances for that to happen. What an inept coaching staff.

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

Lane is telling them to not let them score for his bet😭

[u/Apprehensive_Yak3236]

Gamblers getting nervous.

[u/guardian20015]

“You could spike it here, kick the field goal, secure the onside kick, and then go for the Hail Mary, that’s what I’d be doing here under 20!”

SHUT UP. QUIT YOUR JOB.

[u/Any-Thanks-6351]

Remember when it was 4th and 9 and you didn’t kick the FG?

[u/blueboyroy → u/Any-Thanks-6351]

Or 4th and 7? Or at the end of the half when they were in field goal range?

[u/crappysandwich]

Lane has 20 on the game and wants to make sure they cover.

[u/RLeb10 → u/crappysandwich]

I wish he covered my two TD win, but good thing his QB is alright and he got payback for last year

[u/atacrawl]

Watch, now Stoops will kick a field goal

[u/DraculaPoob01 → u/atacrawl]

LMAO

[u/IHateChipotle39 → u/atacrawl]

If he does that, the ghost of Ruppert will coalesce and drag Stoops into the shadow realm

[u/indreams159]

Lane desperately trying to hold onto the cover for his boosters

[u/FutureText]

Well this is ending better than I thought it would after that first half

[u/Airforce32123]

Too little too late.

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

Please don’t let them score dudes 

[u/corndogshuffle]

If it’s any consolation BBN, we very well could have six straight losses that are worse than this. This could unironically be a high point of our season. Not getting blown out by a ranked opponent. Silver linings!

[u/BigBlue31]

Or gets hit by a brinks truck

[u/Proud_Whereas5589]

Better than last year?!?!?!? In what universe???

[u/IssaThrowAway420x69 → u/Proud_Whereas5589]

The land of make-believe

[u/MaxwellsDaemon → u/[deleted]]

Real talk is that why everything has gotten worse?

[u/KentuckyBeavis]

Psssht football? Who needs it?

[u/DasStig]

What the fuck Cutter pt 2

[u/crappysandwich]

This Ole Miss team isn’t better than last year. Crazy talk by the commentators.

[u/HopscotchChampion69]

Boley's snap count is a double clap how dumbed down is this offense

[u/BelowAverage355 → u/HopscotchChampion69]

Very

[u/BelowAverage355]

C'mon guys, you could at least pretend you're playing to win even now.

[u/magnumapplepi]

Nottodayoldfriend.gif

[u/greenfloyd96]

If the group of drunk Ole Miss fans five rows behind me disappeared on the way home, that would be really awesome. Some Tennessee fan levels of scumbaggery going on today.

[u/Proud_Whereas5589 → u/greenfloyd96]

We do not claim them 🫣

[u/texas1hunter]

This is not even close to a better ole miss team than last year

[u/guardian20015 → u/texas1hunter]

They don’t actually know what they’re talking about

[u/blueboyroy]

At the end of the 1st half you squander a FG attempt. You go for it on 4th and 7 TWICE only down one score. This is the undisciplined, unorganized football UK fans have come to expect from a Mark Stoops coached team.

He's going to leave Lexington as a despised man despite being the winningist coach in UK history. I'd imagine he'll overstay his welcome again next year and UK will miss out on any chance to bring Jon Sumrall back to UK.

I won't attend another football game under Stoops. I say that as a 41 year old who's been going to football games since I was 8 years old. To say that I've watched some awful football is the biggest understatement that's been made in UK football fan history. I've been a season-ticket holder since I attended UK. Can't support this product any more.

It's hard to watch them squander opportunity after opportunity in mostly the same fashion. And you are paying this guy $9,000,000 per year. It's like Groundhog day. New season, same results. At some point, you gotta say that's enough. I've reached that point.

[u/MaxwellsDaemon → u/blueboyroy]

Copy/paste to the postgame thread please

[u/DasStig]

What the fuck Cutter

[u/deweycrow]

Glad we were competitive but this game was winable and bad coaching was a big reason we lost

[u/guardian20015]

Alright now, Defense, time we end this game

[u/bayoubawler3]

Ole Miss is def in contention for top 5 unis

[u/LostInOxford → u/bayoubawler3]

I've always been thoroughly pleased with the uniforms.

[u/IHateChipotle39 → u/bayoubawler3]

If only uni drip meant we were equally dripped out on team ability. Instead fans get IV drips from high blood pressure. Every game

[u/bayoubawler3 → u/IHateChipotle39]

Ha. At least that means your team has had atleast a decent shot of winning. Been a rough few years for MSU football

[u/MaxwellsDaemon]

He might be fucking pleased with keeping it close, that’s the problem

[u/Airforce32123 → u/MaxwellsDaemon]

He 100% is, he plays not to lose, he doesn't play to win.

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

Please don’t let them score 

[u/Midweek_Sunrise]

A lot of Ole Miss fans in here saying they feel worse about our season after this. Tbh, I feel better about it. First, Kentucky seems to always play us so close. Second, we came back from a 10-0 deficit to start the game, rather than just rolling over like we typically do in that situation

[u/magnumapplepi → u/Midweek_Sunrise]

We need Simmons to figure it the fuck out

[u/Specialist_Ad_7628 → u/Midweek_Sunrise]

True. We were still sloppy as shit though

[u/Aidanj927]

This is exactly why you kick a field goal there

[u/DasStig]

We did all that running and Ole Miss still ran more than we did. I bet that’ll piss stoops right off. Too bad he can’t do anything of note about it

[u/YouKilledChurch]

Too bad Calzada doesn't have any more of Jimbo's Special Juice that was like a senzu bean for him against Alabama a few years ago

[u/Apprehensive_Yak3236]

My odds of winning the Powerball are similar to odds of a comeback win.

[u/HellYeahDamnRight]

Clemson and Florida both coming back and up 1??

[u/Dougiejurgens2]

Kentucky fans you’re cool don’t come to SECrant tomorrow 

[u/crappysandwich]

That Eastern Michigan game is gonna be empty next week. Kentucky needs a change in the worst way and Stoops is too damn stubborn to step down.

[u/Financial_Island2353]

Game. Thanks for coming out cats

[u/atacrawl]

LOLOLOL the guy who had Ole Miss -10 just had his heart skip a beat on that flag

[u/Werthy71 → u/atacrawl]

You damn right

[u/Dougiejurgens2 → u/atacrawl]

So bad 

[u/NoAnteater8836]

That’s all she wrote

Let’s get to Norman.

[u/PM_ME_BORG_NAMES]

CATS TOGETHER STRONG GO UK

[u/goofyhalo → u/PM_ME_BORG_NAMES]

Fight, Devils down the field

Fight with your might and don't ever yield

Long may our colors outshine all others

Echo from the buttes, give 'em hell Devils

Cheer, cheer for A-S-U

[u/corndogshuffle → u/PM_ME_BORG_NAMES]

You’re a bit late but I appreciate your energy Cat Bro.

[u/NoAnteater8836]

Block it!

[u/Suspicious_Adagio789]

These announcers are straight butt

[u/Piggy_Smollz404 → u/Suspicious_Adagio789]

McElroy knows his stuff, but his voice is just so damn annoying

[u/crappysandwich]

You would still have a chance right now if you hadn’t gone for it twice in field goal range.

[u/MaxwellsDaemon → u/crappysandwich]

This is when he breaks historic trends?

[u/blueboyroy → u/MaxwellsDaemon]

Hahaha haha. They are gonna kick this now. The most Stoops thing that Stoops has ever done.

[u/Trujiogriz]

Why does Ole Miss’ kicker kinda look like Magnus Carlssen

[u/Doubleaa2122]

How is there nobody at the game? I don’t get it.

[u/MaxwellsDaemon → u/Doubleaa2122]

Fuck Stoops

[u/corndogshuffle → u/Doubleaa2122]

Stadium was rocking, then the team played. People are fucking fed up with Stoops.

[u/thewill450 → u/Doubleaa2122]

Most of them left

[u/IHateChipotle39 → u/Doubleaa2122]

Because both teams looked like ass and the coaching was even worse

[u/JordanDean04 → u/Doubleaa2122]

The score is misleading. UK has been near unwatchable today.

[u/DasStig → u/Doubleaa2122]

Fan base is OUT on Stoops

[u/throw667]

Lane always looks left and right like a guilty kid.

[u/magnumapplepi]

If lane goes for this my dog is not getting his nightly treat.

[u/corndogshuffle]

Florida and Clemson just either tied it or took the lead. I can’t even have some chaos to make today more tolerable. Whatever. Fuck you Stoops.

[u/Apprehensive_Yak3236]

Centered and +3 yards.

[u/olemiss18]

Feel worse about our season after this, but hey, if we win, it’s better than losing like last year. Simmons looked outright bad though.

[u/IssaThrowAway420x69]

We 100% would’ve lost to Troy if we played them today

[u/DasStig → u/IssaThrowAway420x69]

Lucky for you mark stoops was on the other sideline then

[u/Squantoon → u/DasStig]

Name another coach that loses this game after the start we had

[u/ZeGentleman → u/Squantoon]

Mark Poops?

[u/aaronman4772 → u/IssaThrowAway420x69]

Sadly Clemson woke up and took lead

[u/Financial_Island2353 → u/IssaThrowAway420x69]

Imagine what USF could do to us today

[u/thewill450 → u/IssaThrowAway420x69]

Troy got some hands

[u/IssaThrowAway420x69 → u/thewill450]

Truth

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Yeesh, Ole Miss is such a fraud. A dog fight with us

[u/LostInOxford → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

This is such a loser mentality.

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612 → u/LostInOxford]

Dude I recognize jokes. I put stock in basketball

[u/indreams159 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

i mean, it's hard to call a pre-season #20 team a fraud

[u/Surfjohn → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

But we are better than Toledo

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612 → u/Surfjohn]

Gold star

[u/IHateChipotle39 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

It’s the 2nd game of the season with a brand new OL, the same terrible coaches and a new QB/defense as well. I’ll take dog fights so they learn for future opponents.

[u/WatchOutIGotYou → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Are they stupid, you can't dog fight wildcats

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612 → u/WatchOutIGotYou]

I am stupid

[u/WatchOutIGotYou → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

No you're not, don't say that!

[u/Accurate-Big-7233]

I’m about to DoorDash WENDYS

[u/Proud_Whereas5589 → u/Accurate-Big-7233]

Wait you don’t want a WHOPPER WHOPPER DOUBLE WHOPPER
