This is the official A Sea of Blue Open Game Thread for the Tennessee Volunteers @ Kentucky Wildcats football game.  Game details are as follows:

Kentucky vs. Tennessee
When:  Saturday, November 28, 2009  7:00 PM
Where:  Commonwealth Stadium Lexington, Ky.
TV: ESPNU
Radio: BBSN

Live Stats

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen of the Big Blue Nation -- Senior Day, 2009.  This is where we say goodbye to our seniors, and face our rival, the Tennessee Volunteers.

Star-divide

In honor of senior day, I am going to post the name, number, position and hometown of the seniors we will be farwelling tonight in their last game at Commonwealth Stadium:

Number Name Pos. Yr. Exp. Ht./Wt. Hometown (last school)
4 Micah Johnson LB Sr. 3V 6-2/258 Ft. Campbell, KY (Ft. Campbell HS)
27 Ashton Cobb S Sr. 3V 6-0/215 Aliquippa, PA (Center HS)
29 Alfonso Smith RB Sr. 3V 6-1/208 Louisville, KY (Waggener HS)
32 Trevard Lindley CB Sr. 3V 6-0/179 Hiram, GA (Hiram HS)
33 Calvin Harrison S Sr. 3V 6-1/211 Columbia, SC (Richland Northeast HS)
36 Lones Seiber K Sr. 3V 5-9/190 San Antonio, TX (Knoxville Central HS)
37 Trey Bowland RB Sr. 2V 5-10/190 Knoxville, TN (Christian Academy)
38 John Conner FB Sr. 3V 5-11/240 West Chester, OH (Lakota West HS)
40 Maurice Grinter TE Sr. 3V 6-3/253 Louisville, KY (Fairdale HS)
43 Mikhail Mabry LB Sr. 3V 6-2/248 Mililani, HI (Mililani HS)
47 A.J. Nance FB Sr. 3V 5-11/256 Knoxville, TN (Central HS)
50 Sam Maxwell LB Sr. 3V 6-3/248 Hartwell, GA (Hart County HS)
60 Dustin Luck G Sr. SQ 6-3/290 Poole, KY (Henderson County)
61 Jorge Gonzalez C Sr. 3V 6-3/300 Tampa, FL (Catholic HS)
72 Zipp Duncan T Sr. 3V 6-5/291 Magnolia, KY (Elizabethtown)
76 Justin Jeffries T Sr. 3V 6-6/320 Louisville, KY (St. Xavier HS)
78 Christian Johnson G Sr. 3V 6-4/330 Ft. Campbell, KY (Hargrave Military Academy)
80 T.C. Drake TE Sr. 3V 6-6/242 Bardstown, KY (Hargrave Military Academy)
86 Ross Bogue TE Sr. 3V 6-5/244 Suwanee, GA (North Gwinnett)
89 Anthony Cecil WR Sr. 1V 6-0/194 Hodgenville, KY (Larue County HS)

There are a lot of guys we are going to sorely miss from this list.  Guys like Maxwell, the Johnsons, Gonzalez, Lindley, Cobb, Duncan, Connor, Smith, Drake.  These are guys who have believed in this program and made a major impact on it.   Twenty seniors, and all of them leave very big shoes to fill.

At this point, with this team, stats don't matter.  This is about emotion, about a 24-game losing streak, about seniors who, unlike the seniors from last year, have never known futility.  These guys are winners, and for the most part, they have won their entire time here at Kentucky.  I can't say enough about what they have done to resurrect this program from the darkness and defeat that was UK before they came.

This is a huge game, and winning this one would send our seniors off properly, as they so richly deserve.  Let's cheer them on.

Go 'Cats!

Think they're keying on Locke.......much?

D

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Almost a fumble.....so close
Go Cats.....Go Vols :)
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
perfect read by Micah
Micah!

The thundaaah.

good return Randall
Good defensive series

now its time for the offense to get it in gear. maybe a little WildCobb

Gimme ...........A .......C.......
O needs a couple of first downs
Gimme.......A........WIN!
Mr Cobb

so dependable its a sin ;-)

he has spunk
Locke....first down
first dooooooown kentucky
Good TO by the freshman to save five yards
HELLL Yeah the perfect brownie pan!!!!!!
they do look good don't they
Everybody got their brownie pan?
ON ON U of K
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
JOKER HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED

TD on razzle-dazzle. You gotta luv it

It has all been a plot to throw the Vols off.....lol

very nice call, Joker. and good execution by the guys

All right!!!!!!!

Great call

All Cobb, all the time!

YEESSS!

seems to work for Flordia with Tebow
lets have 3 more qtrs just like that one!!!
Minus the UT drive where the went basically untouched all the way down the field to a TD
well if we score twice to their once

I don’t mind giving them a few runs!!:-)

actually

56 to 28 will suit just fine

It's okay people....

….I’m here now.

Now we have GOT to hold them

holding them without a score would do wonders for getting ahead. I don’t like a 7 point lead. we’ve already seen they’re quick strick ability.

they’re = their (why do i keep doing that?) a little excited, maybe.

we are too excited to notice :-)
Why do they always interview the fans with those accents?

Makes us all look like hilbillies.

I'm sure most UK fans have accents
Not really. Lived in Lex for 5+ years

Maybe 4 of the hundreds of people I know had a southern accent. Still, better than interviewing a “Wine & Cheese” UNC basketball fan.

crowd is good and loud
"No you're neva gonna get it"

“Not this time!”

No one's liking the En Vogue reference? What a shame...
Nice D

that was damn near another pick.

Let's put another 7 on them
that'd be most excelent
Do wish he would use another receiver besides Cobb
Let's beat 'em like they are...

the back window of Tiger’s SUV

Go Conner

The LOAD

Joe Connor needs no Terminator bodyguard.
Whoa! High passes scare me.
With Kentucky

any pass scares me

oh no

what’s our depth chart like at Center?

better lucky that

good

ended up a nice punt
Joker had some

good plays…..just bad execution

Anyone in Nashville

How are you viewing this game? I’m just listening to the online broadcast at this point – no ESPNU for me.

Nashville

has TV’s??

I didn't know they had soap :)
Yuk yuk ha ha

Screw you ;-)

Scroll up for justintv link

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!

The wild-cobb strikes again.
My favorite words at a UK game

first doooooooown Kentucky

My favorite is "And UK defeats Florida and kills Tim Tebow in the process"
NEVER

Oh, sorry

Maybe that was a dream I had. I woke up and my sheets were all wet.

Terminator runs with 6 vols on his back
3rd and inches .....got get it

saw UK snuggies at Dick's the other day
what is going on here???
killing time waiting for the 2nd half
course those brownies with M&M's sure do look tasty
Good coverage in the secondary
missed ITTTTTTT
2 more good qtrs!!
I hope Rich can motivate

up by 7 like he can motivate down by 14

Come on Papaw remind them we got 30 more minutes of play.
Nice half of football,

GO CATS!

we're gettin all the good madefortv stuff.
First half -

Good – Maxwell, Cobb, Locke, Offensive line, Offensive/Defensive gameplan

Bad – Punting, Kicking

Jury Out – Defensive secondary, Halftime adjustments, Newton – gaining confidence with each pass but still locking on receiver, needs to spread it around and shouldn’t run the ball except on edges

Hope Gonzales and Conner are not hampered too much by 1st half nicks, they will be sorely needed in 2nd half

LSU 17 ARK 6 halftime
Let's start

the 2nd half with a BIG stop!!!

What does a pirate do on the weekends?

Tends to his yaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!

ABC -

Hat on or off for second half? We did pretty well at Georgia last week with the hat off but within sight.

wherever you folks want it....
What time is it when Godzilla sits on your watch?

Time to get a new watch.

What does a ghost use to clean his hair?

Sham-boo

Snuggie thats Hott Does it come in U of K colors?
yes...even a UK print
Got the volume down on TV

listening to the radio….the crowd is doing their part…..they’re fired up.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Know why there's no prostitutes in Tennessee?

they’re all Volunteers.

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
There's no such thing as altruism

Therefore, there are no real volunteers. Your school legend is based on a lie. Have fun in existentialist hell. :)

Good DDDDDdd
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Come on DDD............CATTTTsss
no way that's incomplete
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
What's with Lindley?

Three times last week, one time tonite. People are beating him

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
C'mon D
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop em D line
Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss
yayaaaaaayyyyyy
great job DDDDDDDDD
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
We've been bad before, but we never did this...

Whining punks. Support your team. Even though orange is a stupid color.

those are UT girls....right?
There aren't really any real "men" to speak of at UT anyway, so yes.
got the 1st.....run'em Derrick
That was a huge 3rd conversion
Anyone else getting signal trouble on ESPNU?
sorta had crappy contrast from the beginning
Well a sec ago I was having audio gaps and a framerate drop, besides the crappy non-HD
anyone think the last posession wins this besides me?
I hope it doesn't come down THAT close
let ya know at the end ;-0
expecting UK to blow 'em out?
I meant that as a reply to A2D2
no blow out....just hoping :-)
Dunno. Let's ask the great Carnak.

Someone go dig up Johnny Carson.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
for us without coverage

What’s the update, please?

21-14 6:26 3rd qtr

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/boxscore?gid=200911280069&page=plays

Justintv is back up and is good feed
Gotta love a go old fashioned missed tackle.
*good old fashioned

I suck…

ugh

hopefully good old fashioned bend don’t break?

If UK didn't play 3rd downs

we’d have won 10 National Championships

I repeat "Gotta love a good old fashioned missed tackle."
dang it.......
21-20 soon to be 21
Hey guys...

no TV to watch the game. Thought I’d hang out here.

Great game so far and good luck!

our D sucked

on that drive like the DRleafvac

another stupid penality
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lost the ball.....dang
From bad to worse

Gut check time

GOT....TO....STOP....THEM
ABC where is the Hat?
head.....
take it off
Turn it inside out

Rally cap.

its off.....let me know if that needs to change
Looked like trainer was

saying “sprained” on Guy’s injury

There's been a hug momentum shift in Lex

We need to get some picks and some quick points.

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
somebody has to get on Hardesty...now
OOOOOO that scared me.....imcomplete
wow that ball was right in his hands
ESPN-hype. Call the game. I know about the streak, already
there is Jim Brown :-)
dammit

another flag

that penalty hurt
These announcers don't know squat

“Ortmeyer, one of the better special teams coaches in the SEC”. yeah, one of the better 12.

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
got our ass kicked in

that qtr

well, we're usually a good

4th quarter team. it’s for all the marbles tonite to shine in the 4th.

at least it wasn't Louisville-like :) So there's hope
This game is ours

go Cats!

Play of the game???
Time to take the lead back
Newton ran it
Well-

We totally sucked in the third quarter. We had them on the run and penalties are killing us. C’mon CATS!!! Own this fourth quarter!!!

That's twice tonight Randall has lost the ball
Well it was a funmble.

But at least it was positive yardage :)

Cobb?

not like him at all to lose that ball again. lucky recovery

Cobb

Needs to hold on to the ball!!

uh oh

you guys are a whole play ahead of my video now
time to stop reading!

NEED a stop
Sure like to Lindley

redeem himself right now with an interception but Tn probably not going to be throwing much now.

seems like after that first int they have stayed on the ground.
We'd

Better stop this drive- The mo is all Tennessee right now…

Got to get a break of some type -- UT is owning us this half
ugh

I was feeling good about this, til about right now!

Come on D......gotta stop em
Tn fans at work-

Had that deer in the headlights look in the first half. I bet they don’t now…

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Terrible

Second half so far. Sheesh. What happened to the first half cats?

SEC East showing

the highly ranked ACC teams how to play football today

GO 'CATS!!!!!!!!!
ACC is for basketball and soccer. They have no place on a football field. (Except Miami and old FSU)
I mean

on third and short, Hardesty gets it. This is not a trick.

Anybody have the 3rd down conversion numbers for TN

horrible

Come on D......gotta stop em
That dues just raising his draft stock with every play....
The line of scrimmage-

Keeps moving the wrong direction! UGH!

Come on D......gotta stop em
Come On DDDDDD..........C.......A.......T.......S........CCCccAAAaaTTTtts
good going Corey
YES!!

Now we have to do something with the ball!!

Must be nice to have a good

punter

Big driv3
Stupid iPhone.

Big drive coming up. Go Cats!

Can we put together

an 8 1/2 minute game winning drive?

kentucky's D is tired...

They are walking to the sideline… The O needs to keep the ball for a few to give them some rest…

Tennessee

Seems to want it more right now..

Right idea....wrong place to throw
Holy crap

my heart stopped for a sec

My blood pressure-

Has to be sky high right now.. I want this game sooooo bad!!

COME ON CATS!!!
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Did locke even touch the ball that series?
Newton's picked the wrong night to have a

bad game

looked better in first half

but they’ve gone to this 50/50 pass/run offense and look lost.

not a great punt there
Please tell me the punter's a senior
dang...

What a pitiful punt…

Special teams

really bad tonight. Tyd’s punts have been super short.

We really-

Have to have a stop now. We should know they are gonna run it!

Kentucky at halftime

UK leading at the half: vs. SC, vs. Miss St
UK losing at the half: vs. Auburn, vs. Georgia

could’ve gone without knowing that :-(

I was serious about the halftime speech
Yep.

That crossed my mind.

can we simulate halftime during a timeout?
Time for some D-Fence Lets Go Catssss.......
40.6 ave. on first 6 punts
That is not bad
remember the loooooooong roll
Come on D......gotta stop em
man... Our D has played great,

But they are wore out right now…

giving up 24 (maybe more)

points and allowing 3rd down conversions at home is not great.

That didn't look like a catchable ball!!
Seen this game before.....

I HATE Tennessee

if Burden turns around, he would

of seen it couldn’t be caught

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
It was pass interference...

… We hole them to a FG, we still have a chance… TD, and it’s over…

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
I'm

Beginning to feel sick! C’mon CATS!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYY got em
NICE... Out of FG range
Big Time play......really nice
We can pretty much run out the clock if we can score...
Let's get 7 and take 3:42 to do it
80 yard run coming up
I sooo hope you are rite
no ... give the defense a rest!
Maybe-

Our last chance!! GO CATS!!!

okk....its now or never
we need to get at least down to the 25 of Tenn....
I'm calling it

Field goal + overtime.

Please, no OT... I'm too old
New life now to go for the winning score

They’ve been given a chance. Now is the time to beat TN.

no more turnovers!
Hope Rich puts Cobb behind center...
he has to want to make up the lost balls
Its Razzle Dazzle time Joker !!!!
Screw 25, lets get it in the end zone and end this bull crap right now
We need Locke, AND Cobb to do their thing!!!
Radio just

said this was the SEC crew that was suspended a few weeks ago

come on 'Cats!

Do you WANT it??!?

....or are you just happy to be bowl eligible?
...are you sated after beating Georgia?
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
GOT....TO...SCORE !!!
COME ON CATS!!!
How can Lock or Cobb not touch the ball
Newton-

Looking like a freshman…

This half has been all about field position and how we have not had it and they have.
Newsflash, we can't pass
why are we not running?
Locke must be hurt

hasn’t touched it last two possessions.

All u Hartline haters got your wish.

What do u think now?

We couldn't pass then either.
Cheapshot

Nothing tells me Hartline would have had this game in better position

That was a great punt
need an interception guys,,please????
except they won't pass, unfortunately
He is a good punter
how long has our d been vs our o.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
PUT YOUR FUCKING HELMET ON IT SON!!! YES!
Fumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUMBLE!

OH BOY!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Cobb busted his ass on that
CAAAAAAAAAAAATSSSSSSS
I've said it before...

..and I’ll say it again…

The Football Cats will break your heart…. Oh wait…what just happened..?

YESSSSSSSSS

Ashton Cobb

a senior, good for him. GREAT FOR US.

GO RANDALL GO
Almost found that holE!
Keep giving it to COBB!!!
short of 1st
Cobb's heart will score,

he has the HEART of a Champion.

First down KENTUCKY!
got the 1st down
nobody move......or breathe either if you can do that :-)
NOBODY BUT COBB!!!
Tennessee has started using their TOs

Things are looking a little better. PLEASE NO TURN OVERS!

that's not how winners think
Why not using clock???
OT will be good...

A TD here, will be HISTORY…!!!!!!!!!!!!

why are WE calling the TO's
They took the ball out of Cobb's hands....

..And we stalled…. stupid move…IMO

I guess good call if it works
Alright Seiber.

You make it out this game with a win and I’ll take back everything I said about you last year.

Sure needed Conner in there for the lead block
why did they not keep cobb at QB ??
fake field goal, HA!
Even Secretariat

didn’t have cajones that big

tied game.....OOOOOOOOOOOO
3 TOs with UT 2 years ago...

That one didn’t end well.

Nooooooooo return
WHY?

Did we take the ball out of Cobb’s handa???

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
i am so pissed....

We have a 2 world class athletics, and they put the ball in Newtons hands at crunch time…

I just don’t get it…

I dont either...makes noo sense
you can't show the opponent

that we only do one thing

It got us all the way down there..??
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Uggggg. Killing me!
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
It's OT...

…and it should not have been…IMO

Is Connor out injured?
yes

stinger in his neck

they were putting ice on his kneck, i think
24-24 at end of regulation
OT

Glad its not NFL rules (I think)

If the ball had stayed in Cobb's hands-

This game would be OVER!!!

I can do without another 4-OT game, a la 2007

Come on, guys.

question

what is the reason TN didn’t run another play?

They're confident?
Give UT the ball first. Makes it easier.
you can go to college in the Snuggie!
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
I want a Snuggie that makes me look like a whore

Congratulations! We now have a leopard print Snuggie!

ahhhhh

not good

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Can we at least stay in FG postition/
Long FG time...

ugggg

Come on Seibert
lol...

oh my God…

48 yds fg...short
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Well-

This does not look good at all! DAMN!

Can't blame Siebert.

Offense should not have lost yardage.

nope, not at all
Where are all the Seiber defenders now?
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
negative play...

thats a start

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Lucky-

It was holding

I don't get it. We had the ball on the 25 and we still missed it?
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
1 yard gain...

still ok

C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Have to make two more plays
well...... that sucks...
going for it on 4th and 3 in regulation

doesn’t look so bad now?

We need a sack right now
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
Game over- probably
my nerves are shot
This hurts soooo bad!!
LMAO....

That was easy…

Hey, Our Basketball Cats are ranked 5th in the country..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See you on Monday for basketball.
SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO BAD
Chin up guys
Easy for you to say

I work with about 40 Vol fans… UGH!!

well

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… The Kentucky Football team will break your heart…EVERY time…

No they don't
Against Tenessee....???

Yes they will….

That's not what u said
they didn't 29 times
that's correct

Who wouldn’t have taken 1 out of 2 UT UGA three weeks ago?

Not a good time for negatism

my heart wasn’t broken last week. Take your comments elsewhere

my heart was broken

for me as well as for the seniors…..

We simply didn't show up for the second half
Joker

must go!

Just like the Miss St

game…..gave it to the wrong people in the red zone

locke did not touch ti on last series

what is up with that?

newton on a sweep? why not an option?

Hope I live long enough

for us to beat them…….I HATE Tennessee

Still my favorite team :-)
ohh, mine tooo....thats what makes it soo tuff
Any time left? Is this game?
why did newton run in on 3rd down at the end of regulation???

locke did not touch the ball….

Failure

to use Cobb on that goal line series is malfeasance.

Cobb's fumble really hurt us
Cost

us 3 points, he more than made that up. When the basketball game is on the line, we want the ball in Wall’s hands. Cobb is that man on the football field.

I have to say it again-

If we keep the ball in Cobb’s hands in regulation, WE WIN !!!

Man, A

heartbreaker. Sorry Cat friends. I am not celebrating this win.

congrats to your hubby's team :-)
he was

happy. I was heartbroken. I hate it for the Cats.

I'm okay with that call
They had 2 penalities the entire

game……they just played a better game.

They just played a better second half
yes

but not sure we dominated the 1h like the announcers were saying…

well you

could say they just played the better OT but does it really matter

Post game later.

On the road right now.

Take your time...

we know what 25 in a row looks like

Most sincere congrats and condolences.

Your Cats played so tough tonight. For a while there, it really looked like you had it won. Best of luck in your bowl game. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you next year in K’ville (as well as basketball coming up).

congrats to your team hooper
I really like watching Kentucky play.

This game is always a little un-fun because of that.

I love

this team, I just dream of what they could have been with a decent offensive coordinator.

We have no passing game

that’s a big problem

Maybe Mossakowski can pass. Our other quarterbacks can't.
Maybe Newton can pass

just not yet

Heartbreaker.

Was pulling hard for you guys. Boy, did Tennessee ever luck out.

I haven't seen Gatorpilot forever!
i saw you comment on going for it on 4 and 3

my gut said go for it….my son though i was crazy – figured that was our best shot of winning….

I think are chances were about as good to win either way

but the fans would be really going nuts had we gone for it and lost that way

are = "our"
agree

was more upset that newton went around the end rather than locke – wonder if he was hurting as he did not touch the ball on the last drive of regulation

You'll see me more now that hoops season has started.

Did you notice our Gators just beat #2 Michigan State? This will be a fun year to battle for the SEC!

Kentucky

fans you should be so proud of this team. I would really advise against negative thoughts. They fought with their hearts tonight and did good.

agree with you 100%
victory

is not always in the win column.

do not disagree

but 0-25 stinks – if i heard the announcers mention the streak one more time i was going to puke……

You got a big hoops win, Gators

Is that why you are out and about?

Farewell-

To a bunch of seniors- with really big hearts!

Well, we'll do great in whatever bowl we go to

and next year will be even better. Guess we’ll have to beat them at Neyland.

Just don't understand Locke with only

one touch in the last three offensive series

maybe we will hear more about that in the press conf?
exactly -

but then they have him try to make a key block on the sweep by newton.

I would have kept it in Cobb's hands, win or loose....

But, it was an exciting game for sure…

or at least locke

would have rather let him have a shot around the end than newton…
maybe his knees were really bad…

Lane Kiffen

said that Cobb could be a difference of 14 or 21 points in the game. They feared what he could do and definitely had to be glad he didn’t handle the ball on the last two attempts to make the end zone.

Once again

Brooks and company leave another program changing win on the field. Make all the excuses you please, totally out coached after first quarter on o and d. We have no offensive identity and our d can’t stop any kind of run up the middle. What a dissapointment

I thought the D played well...

…Until they got tired…

Except on 3rd downs
Amen

3rd down conversions killed us

As did redzone calls on o
and the passing calls on the last drive before the fumble
I am sad for the team.....not disappointed with the team

they played hard

I am

not disappointed with the players, they gave it their all.

Yep,

this game will hurt but they can smile on the season.

with me, its the play calling....not the young men
Joker put a lot on the

shoulders of a Freshman

The announcers

of the game could see that Newton was starting to show the stress. Why couldn’t Joker?

There have been very good freshman qb's this year... Newton is not one of them

He will grow as a player, but he is not there yet

Sorry tenken

But I disagree. When you’re getting the ball rammed down your throat play after play you’re not playing with heart. Twenty yards up the middle to end the game and not even 1finger on him

That comment

just shows how ignorant you are. Easy to criticize sitting on your couch.

umm, this is a violation of some rule
Tru, I think this is for you, not me.
Their played like pansies

Anybody with half an eye could see that old swineman. Sorry your vision is as bad as your predictable observations. Maybe you could start calling plays for us

Somebody run over your dog?
Careful

hoboat33, the blog Nazis are out in force.

ouch

I got called a name, too

You're an idiot.

This comment pretty much confirms it.

Go away.

Tired of

hearing how tough the team played or how they almost won the game. I have been hearing that crap for ever. Tonights game made me sick I am tired of pathetic play calling that loses the game. I know Newton is a freshman but he still should be able to hit wide open receivers. I knew UT had the game won as soon as UK kicked the tying field goal. I was so hoping Brooks would go for it on 4th down and try to win the game.

I would not have been upset had we lost that way
I mean, I would have been no more upset
me either
unless....

they ran a play that did not include Locke or Cobb…..

I have to agree

I thought our best chance was in regulation

Razorbacks come back

LSU-Ark gone to OT

Almost makes you

wish we played them in Knoxville. We’ve won the big road games and just sucked at home

we won when down at the half, maybe?
Can't blame the fans though

they were SUPER tonight

Maybe I'm misinterpreting

But it seems that a number of you think that if every offensive play from scrimmage is a run play using Cobb or Locke, that we would have more success on offense. Does that assume defenses do not adjust?

no, that's not what I'm saying...

…I’m saying that the ball needs to be in Cobb’s or Locke’s hands in crunch time…IMO

Would

rather face an adjusted defense with Locke or Cobb then some of the plays that were called.

Not much an Offensive cordinator

can do about having a freshmen QB.

i really did not think he was under as much stress

as the announcer’s seemed to think….

The coaches say he doesn't panic.
Not much correct...

…but we have another QB choice, his name is Randell Cobb, and he does a damn good job when behind center…

Have been saying this all along Vince!!
All year long...
Go watch basketball Vince
why..?

Because I have a different opinion then you do..??

No, you just better in that forum
good, cause you're not...

By the way, is Billy Donavon still coming to coach Kentucky..???

sober up

and come back later when you can contribute something constructive.

???

that’s a bit childish… but I understand….

no, but

i also do not think a newton sweep is the answer when locke has not touched the ball.

to me, they know they have to stop locke or cobb and we know we have to block eric bell at crunch time…

argument makes more sense

…when we run 3 straight plays or a whole series without using our best playmakers.
But I don’t think it’s right to be so negative about the play when Newton ran the ball on 3rd down. Didn’t we give the ball to Cobb once or twice on that set of downs?

cobb got us down there

then newton ran the ball

Makes no sense...
drive

1st-10, Tenn37 2:21 R. Cobb rushed to the left for 13 yard gain
1st-10, Tenn24 1:51 R. Cobb rushed up the middle for 9 yard gain
2nd-1, Tenn15 1:42 R. Cobb rushed up the middle for 2 yard gain
1st-10, Tenn13 1:23 R. Cobb rushed up the middle for 3 yard gain
2nd-7, Tenn10 1:16 D. Locke rushed up the middle for 2 yard gain
3rd-5, Tenn8 0:46 M. Newton rushed to the right for 2 yard gain

looks like Cobb got us to the red zone

then Cobb & Locke (your calls) averaged 2.3 yards per carry, and Newton got 2 per carry.

ok - i am wrong

did not think locke touched it at all on that series.

makes me feel a bit better about the call…

Locke in OT

2nd-10, Tenn25 D. Locke rushed to the right for 6 yard loss

posted below

3rd down call with newton keeping was not bad call….

just looked at it again – defender did a great job shedding the lead blocker – newton probably would have scored otherwise….

If Conner was the lead blocker

it would have worked. We missed The Terminator in the worst way on that play.

heck, I'm no football expert

I don’t know if the play calling sucked or not.

But I do think it’s easy for unhappy fans to be unfair to the coaches after a loss.

guilty...

but would rather “blame” the coaches than the players. :)

guess we should be happy we got the shot to tie it…that was a heck of a hit.

if we win, ut fans are all over kiffin for that pass play….

agree....

just wondering why no locke – they set it up with a fake to him in motion on cobb’s run

also, the option pitch has worked well – was suprised that locke was leading as a blocker on the 3 down at end of regulation rather than trailing….

It hurt us not having #38 in there
very true

everyone got to see how effective we were without the Terminator……..NOT

I am glad to know we have so many coaches here willing and able to take us to more than 4 consecutive bowls :-)

just saying…. may be a lot of hindsight here gang…all hindsight I would think….just saying

i just mad about the 0-25 thing

thats what hurts the most – oh, and losing to kiffin….

I know.....it does hurt...but.....

if the plays had worked better and changed the score in our favor, they would have been brilliant plays. We only see that they did not work at the time. That makes for questionable play calling comments. That is all I am saying.

just went back and looked at our last drive in regulation

the 3rd down call with newton on the sweep was not a bad call -

if locke had actually made his block, newton might have scored. the defender did a great job of shedding the block…

as i recall, i have seen the newton keeper around the end work well in several games..

Someone posted

Cobb’s heart would have gotten the win- I agree

I really don't think the playcalling was that far off

Kentucky is really limited offensively, we have Locke, Cobb and a freshman arm at quarterback. There is only so much you can do and going away from your tendencies is a roll of the dice but often effective in those situations. In essence, if we had shown up after the half it wouldn’t have come down to the end of the game. We were scoreless in the 3rd quarter, that’s where the game was lost.

Little has been said about Connor as a factor in the 2nd half offense struggles

what do you think?

I think it really hurt...
Probably contributed to

Locke’s reduced load in the second half; plus whatever injury which must have been bothering him.

LSU gets the win in OT

Ga leads Ga Tech by a touchdown in the 4th

bottom line

we all love the cats soo much, it just makes us sick when they lose, andd, we all become coachs and armchair QB’s…..thats what loyal fans do when we lose….the guys played their hearts out tonight, and this season…..My hats off to them

AGREED
Agreed

Good night all, I have to work tomorrow… GO BASKETBALL CATS- BEAT N. CAROLINA

hop on ABC and root for the Dawgs

6:45 to go

UT had too many big 3rd down plays

and we had too many stupid penalties. Throw in a terrible OT and you have 25 in a row. IT SUCKS!!!

sucks is putting in mildly...

not claiming we are great, but we are better than 0-25

Coach Brooks

on the radio. Was asked about the final drive in regulation, using the wildcat, using Cobb.

I didn’t catch it all, but he said something about needing to do something where we could operate with the call in place at the line of scrimmage, and we don’t practice doing that in the wildcat with under 2min to go in the game. (I guess that means clock management and play calling??)

About Cobb, he said: “Cobb was pretty well gassed.” Said you may have noticed that during the time out, he was not even in the huddle. Cobb was given an IV at halftime.

About considering going for it on 4&3 in regulation. Brooks said, no, he didn’t consider it.

thanks -

he should not have gone for it on 4 and 3 – thats what you do on madden 2010….

CBS Sportsline Bowl projections Updated Nov. 27

Kentucky vs. North Carolina
Music City Dec. 27 Nashville, Tenn. ESPN 8:15 p.m.

Anyone think we go somewhere else..?

nope...

not at 5th in east…

more Coach Brooks

On John Connor

he got a bilateral stinger
couldn’t raise either arm
pinched nerve affected both arms
his blocking was missed in 4th Qtr

On our fans
I’m really disappointed for our fans
they did everything they needed to do tonight
we didn’t deliver on the field

Coach Brooks on SEC bowl teams

A lot of SEC teams are 7-5, what’s really bad, is that we are 3-5 in the SEC, in a tie with SC.

He didn't say it

but I assume the implication is that since we lost to SC, we are not only 3-5, but we rank below SC. Does that mean we are 5th in the East, instead of 2nd, all from an OT loss?

yes, it does

had we won, we’d be tied at 4-4 with two teams we beat (Georgia, UT), instead we are tied at 3-5 with a team that beat us (SC)….therefore, we finish only ahead of Vanderbilt. Yuck.

yes

see above – probably means music city at best…

not sure how anyone was saying chic-fil-a if we lost..

yeah

but will the bowl committees look at us as “5th” or will they look at us as “in that big pack in the middle, with X fans who will travel Y distance and spend Z dollars?”

maybe --

got to figure UT gets picked ahead of us as their fans are excited after missing last year.

UGA fans – who knows, but got to be disappointed with program
USC fans – probably not much better than uga fans

so yes – we have a shot to move up, but got to believe thats what keeps us from shreveport…

Ark is probably headed to liberty – especially if houston wins cusa championship -

lsu and ole miss get picked ahead of us.

that leave auburn vs uk for music city and shreveport….

Bottom line...

We didn’t play the game we needed to to win… Lots of things contributed that:

- Too many penalties… Two consecutive blocks in the back on the kickoffs?? Gave TN good field position on both of those posessions
- Hardesty had a great game and we didn’t man up on the D-line and stop him! Played our standard 4-3 against the run and it hurt us. When we brought another defender up on the line we did pretty well against the run.
- Turnovers hurt us…
- Coach Sanders really needs to work with Newton on his mechanics over the next few weeks… He’s been throwing a “high” ball all year.

Having said all that, who here on ASOB would have thought that at the beginning of the seaon we’d have had a chance to even play for 2nd in the SEC East?? Papa B has put together another good year and the team has done well. Our Seniors deserved to win the game tonight but it just didn’t happen and I’m sorry for them!

That's right

if we had lost to Georgia and beaten Tennessee, we’d be in the same situation and we’d all be happy tonight!

Tennessee is our albatross...

But I think Randell Cobb will beat them once before he leaves UK…

Fingers are crossed...
Thanks Gobe...

Yeah, you’re right, haven’t thought of it that way…. Push comes to shove, I’d really rather it would have worked out like you said! :-)

It could be worse....

Louisville fired their FB coach today…

but wouldn't that be better-

according to you, we need to fire our coach….

Sorry – could not resist – as another site has pointed out – we need a sarcasm font!!

Please post where I said that...

My memory is a little lacking in my old age, but I can’t remember making that quote…

just kidding around....

you (and me as well) questioned play calling pretty heavily – getting rid of coach is next step…..

but – again – was just kidding…

sorry...

been catching heat from folks… got me all riled up…lol

But I’m good now…

getting there

my 11 yr son is upset – but hey, UK has been a winning team every year he can remember….

going to post mortem….

we don't need to fire brooks

But our staff needs to learn how to adjust. We have left too many victories on the field the past three years.

Postmortem up.

This thread’s getting mighty stiff. Sorry so late.
