LOl..well you did make me laugh...UK and football will never be taken serious...hope your 5-6 going in to last game and we will send you home again.
According to what a certain fan base is indirectly saying
- Thread starter LockdownCard
- Start date
Kentucky playing in the SEC has no bearing on Louisville and Kentucky playing head to head. Louisville leads 13-8. Sure, we all know uk won 6 back in 1920, those wins exist, they really have no bearing on the status of football 80-90 years later but they did win those games.
This SEC argument is bogus and I'm tired of hearing it. It is bogus because UK has been in the SEC for 90-100 years. What stopped you from becoming a football power? Only you. Why make excuses for missed opportunities now? UK has had almost 100 years to develop football history just like all of the other teams did during that time. UT and Alabama have small populations and they recruit. None of these schools were powers back in 1920 so they chose to emphasis football and Kentucky didn't now they have to sleep in the bed they made. It still has nothing to do with playing UofL head to head.

Why don't you look it up instead of posting bullsh--t. Groza,Beard,and another uofk player was arrested for taking bribes from gamblers and during the investigation it was found that 10 uofk players had received impermissible aid and that Rupp new he was playing ineligible players.Also Bill Spivey was charged with perjury and not allowed to play for uofk again.UofK received the harshest penalty that a team can get from the NCAA making Kentucky the first to receive the DEATH PENALTY. It has been given out 7 times and only 2 for basketball uof k and Louisiana Lafayette. The point shaving was going on for awhile,even in the championship years, had nothing to do with the other teams you mentioned.No one else arrested and no other team got banned from playing basketball ONLY uofk !
The truth shall set you free. If this had been posted on the Liar you would have been banned immediately.
GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

I did look it up, and CCNY and LIU were the most involved. Spivey was also acquitted of perjury, and never implicated in the point shaving scandal.
In case you've forgetten, Louisville is also in Kentucky, but that didn't stop them from recruiting Florida, Georgia, etc. UK should only be blaming themselves for where they are in college football today. UK has had every opportunity to take advantage of being in the SEC, they just haven't done it. Louisville had a way tougher mountain to climb than UK, yet here they are. Not only are they now in a Power 5 conference, they are actually relevant in it, unlike bottom feeder UK.
Don't hold your breath waiting for U of K fans to concede that their own chronic low expectations (to paraphrase Coach Schnellenberger) are to blame for their permanent doormat status in football rather than "demographics" - as it is part of their excuse and "woe is me" DNA. The real truth is that their basketball powers chose basketball over [any serious attempt at being good in] football. Whereas, at U of L, in the mid 80s [with the negative example of Lexington very much in mind] Coach Crum and Coach/AD Olsen both supported the idea of developing a competitive football program. Meanwhile, back at the cow college, big blue fans still cannot decide whether the SEC is an advantage or an excuse (they generally choose the latter...but both options often appear in the same sentence). It's soooooooooo... hard to compete in the SEC. smh. To summarize: They've squandered the advantage of SEC membership, and are addicted to their own self pity.
Squandered is the perfect word. How many 8-figure paychecks has UK pocketed from SEC membership?
Their big plans are to make their stadium... smaller. And hire an unheralded coach to revitalize their program.
And then the Big Blue Faithful put on their chest pounding parade that makes a lot more sense in basketball, and we're supposed to think they've caught up not only with Louisville, but the rest of the SEC?
Louisville winnable!
Georgia winnable!
SC winnable!
Missouri winnable!
Tennessee winnable!
Florida winnable!
We hear the same war chant every summer.
Real football games are coming soon, it's almost time for them to get in line for Midnight Madness.
Very well said. I've learned that most UK fans on here don't like to think rationally when it comes to the reality of their program. Sometimes it's just really hard not to reply to their ignorant posts.
They simply can't believe the media are almost to a man picking the Cats next to last in the SEC-E.
These threads write themselves, lol. Ipartied for the win for rescuing reality from the clutches of the cold dead hands of UKs elite propaganda cadaver posters.
You know the ones - Never to be seen in the football threads again, ha ha.

UT has won 70% against UK overall, while UofL has won 64% of its games against UK in the modern series. After UofL beats UK the next 4 years, our winning % will be equivalent to Tennessee. Just think, to the UK fan, Tennessee is this bigger than life monster that totally dominates them, but they forget that UofL is just 4 more games away from being just as big of a monster.
Well Pike you weren't a man of your word to Steelers, were you hahahahahaha
Lpt football never finished higher than #8 in AP UPI or coaches poll. That was in 1950
