How confident are the Kats

[Savannahbayvol]

Lexington PD already putting out notice they will not tolerate any burning of couches and encouraging people on certain streets to put up their lawn furniture that is not tied down!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I'd say pretty confident. They're the greatest sports program in the history of the world. They've already beaten lowly TN twice this season. A player has already said they'll win.

 

[All Vol!]

Way too confident for a team that has thus far beaten Troy and a pretty bad looking Illinois team when prior to that they were busy getting drummed by 30 points to Bama. But hey, if we could choose a mindset for KY before this game, I'd say overconfidence would be it.

Saw a pic of ZZ flipping off the UK cat. Not good for us

People can make a picture of anybody doing anything with Photoshop and AI. I don't believe ZZ did that.

 

[Vols till I fall]

The UK fans are going crazy with that pic of ZZ flipping off that UK picture. Not sure if it's real or not but they are making fun of his height

I hope he drops 50 on them

Yup they’re calling him a thug

How original.

Kensucky keeps saying they " have nothing to lose in this game". Meaning their coach has already hit his mark for year one, and they would be satisfied with just making it to the S-16.

Bullocks. You have to have nothing ( to gain) to truly play with nothing to lose. They have many reasons they want to win this game, and many things they lose by not winning this game.
So there will be just as much pressure on them as thre is on us.

As far as some of their apparent overconfidence, I explained in another post why I feel it is a net negative for them.

In short, most all their players (including the bench) played at or above their normal level. Many above.
They don't have the that stinging feeling of defeat fresh in their minds as added motivation, and they don't have all the players of their team working on improving their play from the last 2 times we played in the same way we will.

Hopefully Barnes is showing every man where they went wrong, and each is taking it personally upon themselves to play at the level they are capable of. We do that ( play at the level we are capable of) and we will win.

That’s one of the worst photo shops I’ve ever seen.

It’s not real.

I don't know much about what one can do with Photoshop, but I see shadows from his arms.

 

[Vols till I fall]

They are not confident

Their fans photoshopped ZZ flipping off a poster and it's been nothing but attacks about his height

That's how pathetic the coal miners are

The pic could be real but the middle finger looks photoshopped.

It doesn’t look like an obvious photoshop to me, but could be AI. What I notice is that it’s a very weak “flip off”. His fingers are spread apart as if he’s using his hand to gesture toward the logo mockingly and there may have been light added to his middle finger. I have a friend who does the exact same gesture with his hands when he’s trying to make a point with emphasis. If he is flipping it off legitimately, well, it’s not what I would do, but what’s the problem? Listen into the Cat locker room and they’re probably chanting the words loudly and religiously.

Coal miners? That's weak.

It's a Kentucky thing y'all.

 

[first time caller]

I can’t see ZZ doing such a thing. Just not in his genes.

 

[Creeker]

Seen a lot of UK fans convincing themselves they aren’t even nervous heading into this one.

 

[esarmstrong]

Come on people, use your brains. Not only does the picture look shopped, Zeigler is wearing a home uniform. When would Zeigler have had an opportunity to stand in front of a big Kentucky picture wearing a home basketball uniform?

He slapped the phone out of an Ole Miss fan’s hand after they beat us as he was walking off the floor. The guy grew up in NYC, you don’t think he has ever flipped a bird before?

Thursday and Saturday; we played at Rupp and we were the home team.

When we just played at Rupp for round 1 and 2 and were the higher seed wearing white….

First time I have ever seen a person's arm with a black border around it. Look really close at the shadows and you will see the border. He might have been flipping something off, but it wasn't the picture "behind" him.
