Don’t remember the year. As I was walking back to my car from Commonwealth Stadium before it became a grocery store after the annual UK beatdown, a UK fan approached me. He said “I hope you guys beat Vanderbilt”. This was a week after UK had lost to them. Vanderbilt is the UK benchmark.We made KY look like Vanderbilt
Their offense was even more overrated than I thought it was. 6 points is pretty pathetic. And our D played their best game of the year.
Crazy thing is that we didn't even really play that well on offense (lots of mistakes that cost us points) and we still won 44-6.
UK is a pretty good team however football is a game of matchup and this was a bad matchup for UK. As I stated on Ainge show last week, UKs line is not good and the strength of our d is the front 7. Bad matchup. 2nd our offense against anyone but against UK bad matchup. Their D weakness is our strength. Bad matchup. I have to apologize on my prediction though as I thought we win by 28. We won by 38. Tennessee is getting better each week as the defense is now feeding off the offense success and taking chances because not scared to make a mistake because they know the offense will score. Going to be another amazing game this week with Georgia. Tossup game now IMHO. Before season I thought we had no shot.I thought this was going to be a battle of a decent football team. KY just got outta sync fast and never recovered. And I thought our D wasn't supposed to be good? They showed out tonight.
I actually believe the KY team is on par with last years team. One of the games they lost they had a backup QB who was not ready for prime time. Tennessee on the other hand is a much better team this year. More depth, 2nd yr in the system, and have progressed alot as the year has played out. Last yr 3rd and long was as painful for the defense as 3rd or 4th and short for the offense. Both issues have turned around and seem to improve every week. Talk about taking care of business.UK played bad because we made them play bad.
The Kentucky offensive line may be the worst in the SECI actually believe the KY team is on par with last years team. One of the games they lost they had a backup QB who was not ready for prime time.

Brought back some bad memories of the last time KY played at Neyland. We threw 3 consecutive interceptions, 2 were pic 6's. We fired our DL coach @ halftime. We quit by the 4th quarter, worst experience I have personally had in Neyland. Consoled myself with 2 mustard soaked Smokey dogs hoping to slip into a coma, but like the idiot I am stayed and yelled til the end. Last night was a production. The half time show was one of the best I have ever witnessed. Don't know about the rest of the world, but some things seem to be getting back to the way they should be. Tennessee football, it just means more.It did look like they gave up in the game. No intensity for the long haul.
Please don’t tell me what to do? You had no idea of my intentions, regardless.Please don't, only lurk without commenting. Why? They aren't worth wasting time ridiculing. Going over to gloat just reinforces their and most other SEC teams that we're low class redneck, POS just like Bama, GA, and Fla fans. Please don't do this.
