Kentucky next week @ home -
- Thread starter usc5930
- Start date
Every SEC game is big. Every SEC East game is massive. Georgia and Clemson are on another tier. You don’t capitulate against Georgia to rest for Kentucky, no matter the circumstances. These are the games you come to South Carolina to play in. You go into Athens and you put on a show.
Kentucky, Mizzou, Tennessee are the games I’m most interested in seeing how we play. I’d also trade blowouts against UGA, A&M, Florida and Auburn to pull an upset against the taters.
UK is important, but every game is. Gotta take them one at a time.
Re: ' . . .take them one at a time'
Agree, but historically, we've had a bit of a problem doing that. Hopefully, this coaching regime will do better.
I don’t believe we get to six if we don’t beat Ky. If we do,………..I believe we get to eight!!
I just want to beat Alabama in the playoffs (after we beat them in the SEC Tournament) Ha
We need a lot of luck plus improvement and all kinds of other stuff…
Imagine how big UK would be if we beat Georgia. Don’t get to play KY this week. There are upsets every week.
The only thing I can figure is that the posters that (I assume) actually think this way are from the "soccer" generation or timeline; when youngsters stopped playing football and in many cases baseball and started playing soccer instead. Worst thing that ever happened to American sports imo. I would waste the energy to try to explain why football players and teams don't think that way (didn't use to anyway; geez who knows now) but I'd just get sniggled at.
I thoroughly expect us to botch a game after a big win like we have done previously. However, it might be different with the new coaches. I’ll take wins however done.
I don't see how we can have a winning season if we can't beat Kentucky.
You mean the soccer generation understands it’s better to lose to UGA and beat Kentucky than it is to lose to UGA and lose to Kentucky?
That’s too much thinking for your generation?
And when you don't get that W you are officially in the crapper. We've all seen it too many times.
To be fair losing to Georgia does not in any way guarantee a win against Kentucky.
Yeah my biggest memory from that game is Spurrier going over to Lattimore after his injury while the lead was melting away hoping he could give it a go. Spurrier could sense it getting away. I know it drove him crazy losing to a Kentucky team he handled with ease most years.
Led 28-10 at the half; lost 31-28.
We had them 4th and 20+ with one minute left in the game, and left Randall Cobb, the only player they had, uncovered for the go ahead touchdown AND the two point conversion.
Spurrier then mis-managed the clock badly, and subsequently threw Garcia, who had thrown for almost 400 yards, under the bus after the game.
Not our finest hour.
Yeah only a Whammy defense could be in a spot where no one was within 40 yards of their most talented player. Especially when that defense had NFL talent literally everywhere.
