Okay, so UK beat Mississippi St. 34-31. We're all happy that they got out of that one. The story of the game was Smith emerging as an option as running back. Andre Woodson turned in another solid performance, as did Dicky Lyons Jr. and Keenan Burton. The defense held the Bulldogs to ONLY 24 yards rushing! Unfortunately, they did let them throw the ball all over the field.

Here's the debate though:

With 4 games left (3 against SEC opponents), what games are winnable to you? There is one gimme game in Louisiana-Monroe, a game that would be a HUGE upset in Tennessee, and then the middle of the road games against Georgia and Vandy. I think Vandy is better than we all give them credit for, which in my mind only leaves Georgia. Georgia is the game standing between UK and their bowl game. Which again would make this week the biggest week in Rich Brooks' career. What do you think about all this? Which game does UK HAVE to win?

Vandy is putting people to the test, but they shouldn't have beaten Georgia. Georgia only beat Ole Miss by 5 and Ole Miss beat Vandy. We beat Ole Miss and we'll beat Vandy. As long as they don't ever throw at our secondary, ha, ha. A great showing against Georgia would help us a bunch with the bowl picture. A win against Georgia wouldn't be unheard of.

Don't you guys think it is getting old when every week, except the LSU game, that everyone says this is Brooks' biggest game ever at Kentucky. Hog wash. They are all important.

Why were we trying to take knees to run the clock out when there was too much time left and Alfonso Smith had been putting it to Miss. St. all game?

This is just one of many questions Brooks needs to answer for me.

I think Tubby is fine. I just wish he would coach what he recruited. We had the racehorses last year to run anyone in the nation out of the gym. We played snooze ball instead.

It's pretty obvious that the problem with Rondo was that he was told one thing about the way he would be able to play with Kentucky and was coached another way once he arrived on campus. I would have had an attitude about it, as well.

The new guys looked pretty good last night. I think, Rob, you are right about the scrappy players (not bad players, just not McD's all Americans) being just what the doctor ordered.

Go Cats!
