So- basically like Georgia the last 5 years?  

Last year they had to play two top 10 teams in Ole Miss & Missouri and top 20 Tennessee which automatically puts them at a tougher schedule than we will have by years end with only 2 ranked teams on the schedule.

Attempts to polish the turd will not work but to be fair Tennessee got the exact same schedule (we have 7 common opponents) just swap Aggy for Bama.

This game feels more like Arkansas than Florida. Like 13-9 with 11 minutes to go in the 4th. Hope I'm wrong but until Quinn shows more these are the types of games we will see against defenses with a pulse.

We’re going to roll aggy at home this year.  Mark it down!

By the end of the year we will have played  and beat between 5-6 teams with winning records. And unlike many of the teams in the SEC, half of our wins against winning teams will be because of the FBS teams we scheduled OOC. The SEC put rivalries in front of SOS, as they should.

It's basketball season at UK and nobdoy gives a flying fuck about UK football once the first game tips off.  Horns roll against an unmotivated, unsupported, and checked out UK football team.  I echo the shutout predictions.

My daughter (no pics) went to UK and lives in Lexington. She works in the thoroughbred racing industry, so she didn't go to UT although accepted. Still a UT fan, though.

Anywho, she says American and Delta have both added non-stop LEX-AUS flights. She usually wears a TEXAS hat while at horse auctions and farms and most people she meets say they are coming to Austin for the game. All this to say Kentucky does care and should have a decent turnout. But no one is predicting a UK victory, which terrifies me. 😳

I'll be at the game.  Bringing my son and my old man.  It's the boy's first real football game.  I expect a bloodbath.  Also, can I pay at the tailgate or do I need to buy ahead of time?  Is the password still Muledick?

But UK can't win this game. Only Texas can beat themselves with more penalties, turnovers and busted coverages than the Vandy game.

Agree it's more about Texas preparation and how the Horns play.  If we limit mistakes and execute, Texas wins.

Because of IBM being in Austin there used to be a decent UK representation in Austin, always a good so!I'd turnout for UK watch parties at Showplace Lanes, Mexican restaurant up north off I35 and then eventually to some pub near Pluckers off Burnet.  Plus, Austin is Austin so that should bring in some folks for the experience.

Kentucky feels like an old Big XII K-State matchup where, regardless of their record, you know they’re going to be prepared and should be a tough out.  Their 4-6 , 1-6 vs SEC record might not suggest it, but a 13-12 loss to Georgia, 20-17 win over Ole Miss, 28-18 loss to Tenn suggest they get up for, and bring it against headlining competition, a trait of their historically bottom-feeder football program throughout The Stoops era.  They are 1 loss away from practically being eliminated from bowl eligibility so will come into Austin with something to play for.  At least that’s what I’m telling the players all week if I’m Sark ; ).

These guys scored 6 against SC, 12 against UGA, 13 against Vandy, and 10 against Auburn.

 

So, I'm gonna do something I've never done before and predict a shutout.  

 

Kentucky -- 0

Texas -- 42

If we score 42 we aren't shutting them out.  Our 2s and 3s will be in and will give up garbage points.

Aggy only a 1 point favorite versus Auburn.  

This a tricky game, IMO.

It's on the road. Auburn has a solid D and a RB that can go off. Auburn needs to feed Jarquez Hunter. I'm not surprised by that line. 

This feels like a 20-17 type game in any direction.

I was at that game and I was more confused than the announcers.  Crazy play 

I knew it was a safety but didn't know it was one point but made sense because the play was for only one point.  I had the same basic thing happen on a 2 point conversion in high school and it was a 2 point safety.

So one of these? 

 

I was watching that game in a pub in London and thus didn't have an audio feed or closed captions. Had to go read LFZ to figure out WTF once we got back to my mate's flat because this was still in the dumb phone era.

This. I've been offered tickets to the rest of the games by both neighbors. We already have them and aren't using them. UK fans are done with football.

This game won’t be close. We’ll win big and we’ll bitch about our QB and be “very concerned” about the fucking aggy game.

Like always.

Feels like a trap game to me. The elephant next week is large. 

Our offense if it looks like yesterday will struggle to score more than a TD. On the flip side, our D is infinitely better than than O. 

I can see a 13-3 type win 

But you’re usually so reasonable and optimistic!

I’m confident because they hate their highly paid head corch who tried to divorce them for aggy. I don’t blame them for “giving up”. But that Ewers inconsistency and Sark stubbornness will keep it closer than it should be. 35-10(7 garbage time pts) Horns.

That feels about right.

The single-point safety. The kick was "blocked" but remained in the field of play. An aggy picked up the ball, still in the field. If he had run it back 90-some yards to the other end zone, it would have been 2 points for aggy. He didn't run it back, he tried to lateral and it was fumbled into his own end zone. If Texas had recovered it, it would have been a two-point conversion(? I think...). But an aggy recovered it, and was down. Because it had been possessed in the field, it was a safety. Because it was an attempted conversion, one point.

The only part I find surprising is that it was only one instead of two, when an aggy runback or a Texas recovery would have been two (I think).

Last time a safety was an issue for us was the XII refs spending 15 minutes to "justify" not giving Texas two against Bama in '22. That right there is the difference between SEC reffing and XII reffing. The ref diff between Bama '22 and '23 was ... considerable.

I called that to my buddy before the official's announcement.  I can't remember where else it happened but I had read something about a 1 point safety on extra point try earlier that season.

That should have also only been 1 point.

Yeah that’s what I figured the crowd would look like for an Alabama game. I guess it really does mean more…

There is no doubt a big chunk of that fan base has turned their attention to bball.

And A&M has likely been spending every waking moment preparing for Texas, instead of Auburn.

Did IBM recruit a lot of Wildcat grads or something? Feels like a random company/school connection.

No fucking media will talk about those scores. We’ll win 41-10 or some shit and everyone on this board and in the media will say we look like shit and don’t belong and haven’t beaten anyone. And the beat goes on. I’m dreading it already.

On conversion attempts touchdowns are 2 points and safeties are 1 point. Safeties are worth less than touchdowns at all times but they're still a score so that makes sense.

The over under and spread read like Vegas does not think they can score much. If we don’t fuck around on offense this should be a 35-10 or better game.

There was an IBM plant in Lexington so many transferred down to Austin when it opened mid/late 60s. Dad transferred winter of ‘78.
