I can at least hope that our D has a bad taste in their mouths over that one, so they come out with a little chip on their shoulder on Halloween Eve.
Good to see you back thriller.
I do not understand all this outrage I'm reading online over UK pounding the ball in the endzone at the end. Stoops blew an entire quarter on one drive. The object of the game is to score the ball last time I checked. It doesn't matter if the game is out of hand, finish the drive. It shows UK that he didn't give up on them, he believed in them, and it was time to finish the drill. Seems to me Stoops was in the classic damned-if-you-damned-if-you-don't situation. If he took a knee on the goal line and rolled the clock off, his team would have walked off the field on a very negative note. If he does score the TD, he's chastised for "garbage points" and "running the score up." I have no problem with what Mark did. Shows a hell of a lot more character than what Cousin Eddie did at FU when they played UK two weeks ago when he had 1.5 minutes, 3 timeouts in the 2nd qtr and knelt the ball down on his own 25 to go into the locker room. It shows he believes in his team and they wanted to leave on a high note of punching one in on quite possibly the best defense ever seen in college football.
