Raku posted:Has Kentucky broken 100 passing yards since they blamed their struggles on last year's OC (who is destroying everybody at Southern Miss)? Drew Barker had 300 yards and 4 TDs at about 70% completion in the first half against Southern Miss. True to the form of the last 15 games or so, Kentucky collapsed in the second half and was unable to stop So. Miss from running the football or generate any offense themselves. 18 rushing attempts by the RBs in the entire So. Miss. game (Boom Williams averaged 7.2 ypc, Jojo Kemp 1.4 ypc) and less than 20 minutes of possession while So. Miss rushed for 262 on 68 carries and possessed the ball for 40+ minutes. There were probably a few long-time fans holding on to see if UK could turn it around and be respectable against Florida (win or lose) but that was always a pipe dream. Stoops is finished at UK, absent some miraculous turnaround. He may coach here in 2017 due to the buyout number, but he's a lame duck at this point. The NMSU game this Saturday will have less than 20,000 people in the stands and Kentucky looks primed for a 2-10 (3-9 at best) season. I've had season tickets for decades and recently got a great parking pass in a lot right next to the stadium, as well as a seat upgrade. If I bump my head and decide to renew next year, I'll have my pick of seats/parking passes. Season tickets for 2016 were down ~15% from 2015 and I expect the 2017 season ticket numbers to be down another ~20% from this season.

Raku posted:It's more that he's the most noteworthy and supportive fan of the team and even he's sick of this poo poo This is demonstrably untrue. He only came back around the program after Patrick Towles was named the starter (he coached Towles in HS and they both played for Highlands) after basically ignoring or making lovely comments about the program under most of the Brooks and Joker Phillips years. He began a t-shirt company to sell UK fans t-shirts in an attempt to capitalize on increased fan support for football when he began commenting/doing pre-game/doing the 4th Quarter thing. When Towels announced the day after the UL loss that he would be transferring, Lorenzen began making GBS threads on everything UK football and subsequently was removed from his 4th down tradition at Commonwealth Stadium. There are lots of people sick of this poo poo, but Lorenzen is far from the most noteworthy or supportive fan of UK football.

Kentucky's defense is allowing 43.7 points per game, 243 yards rushing per game (at 4.5 yards per carry) and 285 yards passing per game (at 9.0 yards per attempt). 528 yards per game at 6.14 yards per play. This is what our defense looks like in year four with a head coach who was supposedly known for being a defensive mind. Even though Kentucky managed to outpace a lovely New Mexico State team 62-42 on Saturday, I'm not sure why Mark Stoops is still employed this morning.

I have to believe that the Vandy @ UK game this Saturday is basically a "Loser Leaves Town" match. If Stoops has a path to continued employment, it lies solely in beating Vanderbilt, Austin Peay and two of Georgia, Missouri, Mississippi State, Louisville or Tennessee. On the other hand, Vandy looks pretty terrible and losing to a terrible Kentucky team with it's fumble-prone backup QB and craptastic defense is probably the cherry on the poo poo sundae.
