Maybe, I think Joker can be a good coach I don't think we've seen his best work yet. He beat USCjr and UT (sorry present company) but the bowl loss 2 years ago stings as does last years's loss to UofL...I wish the best for Joker, hopefully I he gets it done at UK.

Beating UT was a big moment for Kentucky and all, but everyone, including diehard UK fans, knows we were garbage. I don't know how much slack Joker should get for doing that. Yeah, he was the first one to do it since 1984, but let's be honest with each other. That game was a major cripple fight.

It felt like watching two ruhtards headbutting each other with helmets, until one finally passes out and the winner is left standing.


Now imagine a whole season of that for us.

Turns out it was on Tubby Smith's desk all along...right under a pile of faxes.

Dooley may have not found the gas pedal, but then again, he inherited a yugo. Joker inherited a roster that was in better shape than the one Dooley inherited as hard as that is to believe.

I think we'll all know what the future holds for both coaches after this year. I think if key players don't get injured again, Dooley will be back for at least one more year. And one year of going 8-4 (which I think he'll probably do) doesn't mean he's safe for a few years. Joker is done after this year and would've been after last year if not for the UT win.

Hell, Candy and Ky had more players drafted than UT did this year.

That's 100% true but with the near misses since 2007 it was huge to finally win. Some folks may not understand this (or believe me) but it is the truth: I was actually more excited in the moments after the UT game than I was after the NCAA championship game. I know I’m in the minority here but I was pleased after we won no. 8 but it was more relief than excitement. Part of it could be that I was at the UT game and not at the other but I honestly was more excited in the minutes after the UT game than the championship game. I don’t enjoy the tourney, especially when you’re favored to win. Every game made me nervous and I was overjoyed when we won but not excited like I was when UK beat UT. Part of that could also be because I was there in 2003 (?) when we had LSU beat and then didn’t. I’ve also been at many UT/UK games where UK had a great chance to win and didn’t so when they won without a QB – cripple fight or not it was great to see.

Where does it rank in terms of all time UK wins?

I'm only 27 so I don't have the frame of reference other guys do. Beating then number 1 (and eventual national champion) LSU (on a 4th and 1) will be my number one. I also enjoyed when Steevie got loose against UofL and Spurrier's face when he got beat was priceless. For me it’s a top 5 win but there aren’t too many big wins to pick from. It may also mean more to me since I live in Tennessee, a UK fan living in Louisville may have a different opinion.

Stevie got loooooose!!!

My favorite part in the LSU game was the hit Dickie Lyons Jr put on that kid coming over the middle. Holy hell.
