Stoops throws shade at CJF
- Thread starter AdvanSix
- Start date
Agree, this team will be a force next year. If we can get some qb play it should be fun.
Yea, we desperately wanted it...it's our first 10 win season since 77! We're building a program, and it takes one step at a time. You guys sound like such elitist douchebags thru this whole thread. Honestly, I know very little about PSU's current team, but if you think that just bc of your history that starting next year you will be automatically better than us then I look forward to another matchup to prove ourselves.

Maybe have your guys fake more injuries next time.
Dick Vermeil was basically a PSU guy, so he spoke out loud what many of us were thinking. I used to sit next to his daughter in a class in the late 70s. My guess is he was invested, frustrated and speaking from the heart.
Exactly. 'Twas amazing the only cramping occurred when KY was on defense, and only when we had drives ongoing. Quite "ironic".
Close game today. I am not here to post any garbage. It was a hard fought game. 3 point game and the betting line was at least PSU -6 at game time. We were fortunate to get the win today.
I thought Franklin’s decision to go for the field goal was the correct decision. The UK offense was too vanilla, too conservative and definitely too predictable able getting a 20 point lead. The UK Offensive Coordinator and Coach Stoops always think they can burn clock to end the game. That strategy backfired on three straight series in late 3rd quarter and early 4th quarter. Franklin took the points, as he should have, because with one more stop with 2 minutes to go and 3 timeouts would have give PSU ample time to get in field position to kick a field goal and send the game to overtime or win the game outright
Benny Snell is a good back, but I did not think he could get a first down running against a 8/9 man box. Stoops was not going to pass the ball at all. Fortunately for UK, Snell was able to get at least one first down.
That first down killed Franklin’s strategy.
As I stated earlier, the game was close and competitive. Both teams had their moments.
I would hope UK and PSU would play again in the future
UK leads the series now 3-2. We did play a 4 game series back in the 1970s when JoePa was coach. We split the series 2-2 with each team wing a game both home and away
I’m pretty sure the series is tied. PSU also beat UK in a bowl game I think in the late 90’s.
At 2.288 shouldn’t half of their team (based on averages) be academically ineligible? I mean I know I was edumicated in The North West Virginia town of York PA, but I think my math is kinda right
Blue, it was a football game. Not so well played for special teams on our part. But competitive at the end. We tend to be very sensitive about an issue where the NCAA despite no evidence through the book at. Yet MSU, OSU and others have not received any reprimands from the league. I know everyone says they have evidence, where is it. Sandusky was a retired football coach when this all went down. The football program should not have been held hostage for what a grown man did.
My pardon, you are correct. PSU did beat UK 20 years ago in the Outback Bowl in Tampa. I stand corrected.
There were 4 or 5 players left in Lexington due to grades. Don’t be smug as every team has their under achievers.
Just so I understand, you’re saying that 4-5 players brought down the cumulative GPA of over 100 players to 2.288? Not being smug here, simply pointing out hard numbers. Yes every team has underachievers but as stated when the eligibility number is 2.3 and the cumulative gpa of the team is 2.288 something doesn’t “add up”.
UK that's your football teams average. I can go on UK annually accepts 71% of all applications submitted. 33% of all students graduate in 4 years, 55% in 5 years. I know I loved college too. The big issue is, schools have to accept borderline students to compete with the Alabama's and Clemson's of the world. Criticize Joe but he made kids go to class.
They should make a rule that if a players gets attended to he has to sit out the entire series, or at least 4 to 5 plays, that'll stop that,
There are many of us, but I fear we might be of an age or age-group that is losing influence.
PSU loses 2 starters on each side of the ball. 2 others may go to the NFL early. PSU's highly rated recruiting classes are young. The future is bright so history has nothing to do with it. You lose much of your defense, and several more on an offense. You are looking at potential big step backwards next year.
We got outplayed and out coached today. No excuses. Let’s man up and tip our caps to the victors. Let’s use this loss as motivation for next year. WE ARE !!!!!
Didn’t a PSU player get ejected today for a dangerous cheap spear to the head job? Also got away with 2 other out of bounds late hit. All aimed at UK’s #1. Saw #55 fake an leg injury for PSU.
Lol... Franklin doesn't take well to that kind of stuff, and does hold a grudge. Stoops better hope he does not see PSU again as long as Franklin is there...
With that said, Franklin probably shouldn't have mentioned anything like that. But really, who cares, PSU has a MUCH higher ceiling than that other "blue and white" team will ever have. Let me know when Kentucky wins the SEC.
Regardless, Kentucky played well and deserved to win this game. I still love my Lions and see big things coming.

The curious case of Kentucky flops...
In the 4th Quarter, at about the 10 minute mark, a UK defender 'gets injured' after TM hits PF for a first down inside the 20. This after a pretty good sustained drive by PSU. We eventually score.
Later, at about the 5:30 mark, another UK defender 'gets injured' after Sanders' first down run on 3rd down, again, inside the 20 (again, after a first down).
Fast forward about 25 seconds, and after our first down pass play to the endzone (where TM nearly hooks up with Thompkins), another UK defender 'gets injured'. From the time the play ends until the time we hike the ball for second down, over two minutes elapsed. This would be our final offensive series of the game. I'm sure part of Stoops' game plan was to interrupt TM if/when he gets hot since he's known as a streaky type player. Bush league.

How about the targeting? Or the late hit out of bounds that injured an old woman? Those seemed dirty to me.
As for my team, they played with emotion but not dirty. They’ve been doubted ever since they got here because we’re not a “football school” (over-under 5 wins preseason). So if it looks like they have a chip on their shoulder, it’s because they do. As for BBN, some of us have been waiting our entire lives for a season like this, including me. Granted, part of what makes this so special for us is beating a blue blood like Penn State so take that as a sign of respect for your school. Good game and good luck next season.
I am a huge PSU fan, went and played at Bucknell and am as aggressive as anyone you know(not physically, fighting type aggressive) and want to win more than anyone. However, I know when I played, the heat of the battle sometimes created aggressive plays. Both teams have some but in this bowl game PSU played a tough game against a team that really wanted the game(not saying PSU did not,) but there were some milestones KY wanted, so it ended up being a hard fought game. Both teams fought hard, made mistakes, and cost points, which in turn cost PSU the game. Most of the KY message board poster were polite, rather than what we wouln't normally see from most BIG 10 teams. I for one thought it was a very hard fought game, better team won (scored more points). END of story. Hope we play KY again down the road and get that game in the right column.
Meh, hopefully its another 20 years. The next time we play them it will be in another mediocre bowl game game after a regular season with 3 or more losses like this year and in 99.
There is bad blood between Stoops and Franklin. Franklin is despised in Kentucky. Stoops hates his guts and will always have UK ready to play a Franklin-coached team. We will be hyped every time we play his team. Franklin used a trick play to score when a game was already decided back in 2014 just to run up the score when he was at Vandy. The kind of play we will never forget. Fake a kneel down in victory formation only to throw a jump pass into the end zone to score with 55 seconds left in the game.
If you get a chance, look at Stoops after the fake punt failed. Stoops is yelling at Franklin across the field, “Bring it on, asshole”. You can read his lips.
UK and PSU will always have talented players our history is tied at 3-3 over the years. I hope we meet again in the future. Hopefully, you will have gotten rid of your dirt bag coach.
Your team ceiling is no higher than UK’s. The SEC is a tougher conference. If you can’t beat UK, how do you think you could handle Bama, Georgia, Auburn, Texas A&M, LSU. You can’t win the Big 10
We were evenly matched. #12 versus #14. 4.5 point spread. Identical records
UK was just a little better than PSU today. It was an exciting game with good drama at the end.
Have a happy new year.
It's not the best season in UK history. I believe 1977 was. They were 10-1, unbeaten in the SEC, but on probation and ineligible for post season and SEC championship title. They finished #6 and had the No. 2 overall pick in the draft that season.They cost us a national championship shot by handing us our only loss, 24-20 at PSU. The year before they beat us in Lexington (7-5 PSU team), 22-6. But in 1978 (11-1 team) we beat them 30-0 in Lexington. and it took them 40 years to have another 9-win regular season. Actually, the 1950 team coached by Bear Bryant was probably the best. They ended up 11-1 and #7, but beat #1 Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl after the final poll. But even if it wasn't their best team, it's up there for them so it took one of the best UK teams ever to beat one of our middling teams playing badly by 3 points.
In my view the 94 team was born at the end of the 1993 season in the comeback against MSU from down 37-17 to win 38-37. After that we whipped a Heath Shuler-led Tennessee team with Kerry Collins outplaying Shuler.
