Matt Jones comments on Stoops

When you take a cl I se look at his wins, it's a little less impressive imo.

Every season he has 4 really weak teams, his somehow mastery of FL and a usually terrible Vandy and voila there's 6 wins and a bowl..

a bunch of zeros talking about another zero

Reminds me of the instructors in boot camp hollering out down a line standing at attention, “Hey you, ZERO!! “

To which they’d always get some dummy to bite and look back at the instructor to which the instructor would scream at the top of his lungs to get in the face of the looky loo and scream, “ NOT YOU ZERO THE OTHER (various expletive deleteds) @#$&ING ZERO!!! “

I don’t take anything for Granite after the Arkansas debacle

That’s a rock solid stance

Wasn’t the 1977 UK team the one that was quite loaded with talent? Guys like Art Still and Derrick Ramsey? If so, I’m pretty sure they also got nailed by the NCAA for flagrant recruiting violations under Fran Curci, but I didn’t look it up. I watched them beat TN in Neyland one of those years, they were very good. I know the 1978 game was in Neyland in the snow flurries ( Allan Duncan kicked 5 FGs that day), so the Derrick Ramsey team must have won in 1976

For a fact, the 1976 game was played in Knoxville because I was 4 yrs old and at that game when my dad was at UTK working on his doctorate.
I remember being at this game vividly because ... being 4 yrs old and having no real concept of where I was and what we were doing there, although I knew it was a football game. I liked the color blue and so was cheering for the blue team. My mother recounts that at some point, people sitting around them remarked that "that kid has a good point."

And wouldn't you know it..... YouTube is awesome. Here's the 1976 game:

I forget very little, friend.

Mark Stoops is just 2-9 against the Vols. Those two wins came in Butch's last season (remember, the disastrous 2017 season when we lost 8 regular season games for the first time in our history), and in Pruitt's last season, the 2020 Covid year. Both disastrously bad seasons led by bad coaches.

Other than that, Stoops lost to Butch 4 times, lost to Pruitt twice, and has never won against Josh Heupel.

And never will.

I absolutely want Mark to remain the Kentucky coach for years and years to come.

Go Vols!

I mean, the previous 5 UK coaches were a collective 1-13 against UT.
