"If" we beat vandy?

  • If we beat Vandy and some how win the last 2 in convincing fashion do you see MB keeping joker around for another year? I hope not, because I think if he doesn't stop the slide down the slope right now it might take 10 years to get out of the hole we will end up diging. One more year with "The Joke" and we might as well be signing our own death sentence.

  • Yeah if we win the last 3 and look good doing it then yes i can see Mitch bringing Joker back, may not be what we (I) want.
    I'm so confused and discussed at this point, i dont think Mitch is going to do anything but cash in the football money for some upgrades to our nonprofit sports...

    Come on Mitch show me Im wrong, please

    I think your right. Them being such great buds...

    I think it's terrible that there is still a chance he could be the coach next season after the way this year has gone.

    That being said guy is still a possibility if these freshmen get a little bit. I still have some fear about it :/

  • Well at most we might luck out and win two but Vandy is way better coached and most likely will win by 21 unless they self - destruct. UT with a healthy Brey is one of the best offensive teams in the league. They will beat us by 40 after their debacle in Lex. last year so I don't think winning out should be a concern.

  • on a positive not, just saw where fan outfitters is going to give everyone 5% off each touchdown UK scores tomorrow....

    Lol I hope I can get at least 5% off then :)

  • If we won out then I will guarantee you Joker will be brought back. He doesn't want to get rid of him as it is.

    That said, we are a 7 1/2 point dog to Vandy. Don't see us winning that outright. It's not like Vandy will be overlooking us as some of the better teams have that we actually played close. Vandy is hungry for bowl games.

    And in no way, shape. or form can we beat Tennessee down there. Have you seen their offense this year? They will score with anyone. And even if their defense is subpar, we won't be able to score 40 points on them. They will put up 50+ on us. Dooley will be doing everything he can to save his job.

  • I don't think we win against Vandy or TN, but I'm just worried that somehow he might get lucky and pull a couple out of his butt. I think at this point tho MB is already shopping around, because he knows the grim truth, Joker is just out of his league. I wish him luck but ill be glad to see him go

  • I would tend to agree with you but there is very little chance of this team beating Vandy and UT. Sad to say but is reality.

    Wait, you're actually worried that UK might actually win a game? You worry that we won't go winless in the SEC?

    What an idiotic position to take, provided you are a fan of the program.

    Many people had this attitude last year during the Tennessee. Including the guy I was sitting beside.

    Disgusting.

  • So you all are saying that you wouldn't trade a couple wins this year to have a greater chance of improving in a couple years? I always want to see the cats win, but if a couple more L's now mean a chance at something a lot better than 4-8 in a couple years, then I guess I'm and idiot then. I don't wish we lose I just hope we don't have to suffer even more with Joker at the helm and wins against Vandy and TN insures that we will have to put up with him for at least one more year :/

    They've been doing all year on both UL and UK gear. Nothing new.

  • It is possible that if we win the next 3 that JOKEr will be brought back but I cannot see us beating UT or Vandy, heck Vandy is playing for a bowl berth and they need every win they can get considering they're 4-4. We shall see, either way I hope this team wins Saturday; not because I want JOKEr back but because I need one of my football teams to do well since I am a lowly Titans fan. frustrated

  • Win or not Joker will be back. its next yr he wins or he is gone. He has 4 yrs to have nothing but his players on board. Sorry folks just the facts. He has very little pressssure from within right now. What you hate or not does not matter to the board.

    Agreed... I've been saying this, and quoting Trenton for weeks, glad to see someone else understands the harsh truth, as far as some fans are concerned. Sorry, just reality....

    I hate to say that you are probably right about Mitch keeping Joker if they win out in fine fashion but thats going to happen when Angelina Jolie knocks on my door and asks me out, hold on a second theres someone at the door.

  • Well, we are now in a 14-0 hole at beginning of second quarter. Geez, just no fight in these guys. We have to make a change and get someone with a plan and fire in his belly to get this train fired up. I cannot take watching this. I just tell my 5 year old, "hey pal they are trying like crazy", knowing they for the most part are not. He just says "Daddy, the Cats are doing their best, don't worry they will get better". What can you say to that?

  • Wow this is just awful to watch. Flags all over the place, poor execution, no discipline, no way Mitch and Joker should be back!

  • Trenton is full of shit. He's gone. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    Im glad someone besides me mentioned getting rid of Mitch as well as Joker. This is crazy, 2 kick touch penalties, first time Ive seen it twice in 1 game. How many people there today, maybe 25,000?

  • Nobody here knows for sure; but you cannot evaluate this season any better than a complete failure. No way Joker should keep his job and if he does then there should be a real movement to fire Mitch

    When I played there back in the 70s we never gave up and we were never booed so I really feel bad for the players but they shouldnt ever give up but Im afraid they have.

    I know what you mean. When I played for Morehead State we were dead last in the conference but we never gave up. I hate that fans are booing because they arent mad at the kids they are pissed at the coaches and the administration, well at least I hope that's what they are booing for.
