Is there in game chat? I'm very disappointed in Joker right now. I thought this to be a defining game for him. I assume Fidler could at least hold on to the ball. Second time this season Hartline let the ball "slip". Looks like we will get our a** kicked.

My concern going in to this game was not a win, respectability maybe, but most of all no season-affecting injuries. Next couple of games more important.

We look like the old "can't get a break" program. Our defense is in no way living to its rank. Offense is terrible. Looks like a blowout. i just didn't want our kids confidence ruined. long season. Whoh! Fumble Alabama. Go Cats!!!!

Joker was named "next coach" in off-season, and is still also offensive coordinator. This performance really bothers me. The offense doesn't have a clue, which means Joker doesn't have a clue.

Come on, guys. Last year, Joker was King of All He Surveyed, a master offensive genius.
Do you think he forgot how to coach?
Until we get the players that can play like the six we lost last year, Joker won't look nearly as good. When we do, however (and year-after-next looks to be the ticket), Joker will again be "King of all he surveys", and lauded as a genius.
Oh, and he might just be Head Coach by then!

So, should we name Andre Woodson head coach? My point is, do with the talent you have. We are trying to gain respectibility in the SEC.
That last Hartline pass behind Grinter is perfect example. We need Hartline badly. He just will not deliver. he must get better or go Fidler. At least he hasn't dropped the ball.

While I agree regarding getting the talent needed, I was never enamored with Phillips' play calling even when Cats were going 8-5. There were numerous times last year when innovation and creativity were missing and predictability was evident. Never thought of him as a "genius", certainly not "King of all he surveys". As far as naming him coach-in-waiting I disagreed at the time but hope future proves me wrong.

I think the best player for Kentucky, Lindley, just got beat by their true freshman. That was a coaching thus timing move. We can't beat them unless we make major adjustments. So will ALA. It just doesn't seem like we are playing smart.
Another stupid play by Cats. 4th down/ Joker, I hope you have more than this.

Definitely goong to have to find some kind of offense. Alabama will not be shutout by anyone. At least we did not give up 31 pts like Ga. Anything can happen.

14-0 at half, that is 17 points better than UGA at Athens.

When you look at it, we gave them 7 on what may have been a big play for us because we were throwing into the vacated area due to the blitz. The first 7 they got by with a hold though that was a short hold the hand was outside and Peters couldnt get a arm out...I'll live with the first 7 but all in all our defense has played well, and Maxwell should have had a pick 6 that ended up being caught by their guy. Add to all that the fact ford dropped an easy first down that would have continued to move the chains and we've not played that well and are still in it. If we can get something on the board in the third, then its on!

Bama has a recent history of not playing as well in second half so that's hopeful. On the other hand Cats D has been on field a lot so fatigue could be a factor. I'm watching Texas Tech-KSU split screen and as for future head coaches, I suggest Mike Leach of the #7 TT Red Raiders: they have 23 first downs, 417 yards and lead 38-14... at the half! And they don't have any more talent than UK, possibly less.

Max, If our Kentucky Wildcats see it the same as you, then By Gosh we do have a chance. As I stated when starting this thread, I just want our kids to keep their confidence. Not happy with Joker though. And as said earlier, Hartline has lost the ball in passing mode twice this season now. What's up with THAT??????
We desperately need offense to start the second half.

Hartline is really pressing right now. He needs to get into a rhythm with his passing. Alabama's points came from UK mistakes, not because they earned them by their offense beating UK's defense.
I think UK should run the screen passes, then they should run the screen passes, then they should run the screen passes, then they should run, then they should throw it deep, then they should run the screen passes.

With Hartline, we probably will not win another SEC game. He has, and does, look that bad. What a shame, with this great defense.
Joker, you have disappointed hundreds of thousands of fans.

I was hoping to see more out of Hartline and our O-Line. Both are pathetic so far. Hartline needs to learn to make something out of nothing, and he looks like a deer in the headlights.
I also wonder why Joker does not run more on the outside as our inside runs are stuffed repeatedly (by everyone, not just AL).
Gonna be a long SEC season unless we get better in a hurry on Offense.

Complexion changed, hopefully a bit of confidence -- even for us fans -- Bama playing up to their 2nd half reputation. Good downfield blocking.

The downfield blocking on Lyons run after pass was perfect. Would have missed it except for the CBS replay. 3 key blocks freed him.

Just when we get a great first down to Grinter, we throw an interception.
Bad, bad timing. Took the mojo right out us following our TD and good defensive stand.

We had the MO but the interception killed it. Underthrow by Hartline. Ill-advised pass with two defenders right there.

BTW, I am one PISSED OFF Kentucky fan. Our local CBS affiliate refused to continue their contract with Time-Warner cable. They want some cash for their free broadcasts. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
So, I am resigned to listening to the game on Yahoo! and getting the scoop from you folks on TCD.
Now, Bama sounds like they are ramming it down our throat. Defensive line showing signs of fatigue?

Tiptree, we just stopped a running play for -2 yardage, I think it's 3rd and 6. 3rd Qtr just ended.
The D-line is looking just a little tired right now. Every now and then Bama will get Coffeee thru the line for big gains.
We need to hold them to at least a field goal try here.

Horrible read by Hartline. Like I said, might not win another game with him. What a shame, considering all the other talent we have. Why not have Fidler for a series? Hartline is freaking terrible!!!!! Game was entrusted to him, and he throws into double coverage??????????

The stats sound promising this second half. Offensively, in the second quarter, we double them in yardage. Now, if we can just get the ball back and do it again!

Lyons is a gamer, one tough competitor.
Looks like Brooks has given up on Dixon after his horrible first series.
Dixon just cannot be trusted to hold on to the ball even when he does gain yardage.

Masthay has improved so much from his Freshman and Sophomore years punting the ball.
When he was a freshman, he was pretty bad.
Now, he's one of the best in the SEC.

I sure would like to bring in Cobb right now and run the option a time or two. We just can't get our speedy backs any room to run.
Hartline all season long has looked like he's afraid to make a mistake.

ALA_KAT2,
The radio guys were just discussing Cobb's injury. Sounds like there is no way to get him in today -- they took his helmet away!
As to Hartline, I think his cautiousness is a direct reflection of what he has been asked to do -- not lose the game for us. As the season progresses, I look for him to be more aggressive, but not today.

Yes, I knew Cobb could not play today, but he could be an option later in the season. If nothing else, we sure could use his talent at wide receiver as it looks like no one other than Lyons or Grinter can catch a ball.
