Like Red Lobster’s Audrey, Florida fans believe we’re the same team from years ago. The only way to change that is to prove it on the field.
It’s obvious we have a great shot to win as Florida thinks they have this one in the bag and they play Alabama next week. I’m guessing they’re looking past us and waiting for Alabama!
Here’s what UF fans were saying on GatorBait.net….

Your not listening. The reason why UK schedules creampuffs for their out of conference schedule is so they can go to a bowl game, because once they get to their SEC schedule they know they are only going to get 3 wins out of the SEC.
UF doesn’t have that problem because we win 6-8 SEC games every year. UF would be a bowl elgible team just playing an SEC schedule.
UKs goal every season is to go at least 6-6. That’s it! UF has much much loftier goals and expectations of our football program. Hell we have much lofiter expectations of our basketball program. Could you imagine if UFs basketball team went .500? UK football goes .500 and their fans are satisfied.[/QUOTE]
Really now?.. Its that really our goal? That may have been the goal a few years ago but just making a bowl game is not longer acceptable. Within the next two to three years, Joker needs to have this team playing on new years eve regularly.
This is NOT the same Kentucky football team that played under Rich Brooks.
[QUOTE]Recent KY football has really won nothing big.
Recent KY basketball has not won anything big. A few Elite Eights- while during that same time frame Florida basketball won 2 National titles and played for another.
[SIZE=2]Recent Florida football has been ridiculously good. 2 National championships and another one game away 13-1 season.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]So- where Florida football fans’ confidence is based on major big time on the field results, ky basketball confidence is based on- er- uh- running through Cornell on the way to the round of 8- a bunch of Memphis signees and recruits- and another highly rated recruiting class- which got less highly rated when the professional Turkish player ran into some problems.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
Is this guy serious? Kentucky’s confidence in their basketball team is based off of beating Cornell? Obviously this guy wasn’t aware that UK has more NCAA wins than anyone.
[QUOTE]
[SIZE=2]I mean, haven’t they been saying that since 2007? They keep bragging about their streak of bowl games (big whoop) and that they can beat the noles (who can’t?)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]And now we hear how great they’re playing…but against whom? Well…let’s take a little trip to their schedule….[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Louisville 1-2: UK won 23-16.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]BUT…Louisville’s only win comes against EKU, who the beat 23-13.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]……………………………………………………………………[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]WKU 0-3: UK beat them 63-28.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]WKU also lost to lowly Indiana.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]……………………………………………………………………[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Akron 0-3: UK beat them 47-10[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]These guys got blown out by Syracuse 29-3 AND lost to GARDNER-WEBB in OT. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]…………………………………………………………………..[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Okay seriously? Why the hell am I supposed to be impressed that they haven’t turned the ball over to any of these guys?[/SIZE]

I don’t care who you’re playing, not making turnovers is impressive. It shows that you make very few if any mistakes.
Florida on the other hand has made a lot of mistakes this season. This is big reason why this game is on the “upset of the week” watch list.
Now for “Kentucky? You must be joking!”… we’ll see who’s laughing on Sunday morning!
GO CATS!
