310 POUNDS OF GLORY
Since today is our belated, five-day review day, we’ll save you the trouble of having to watch the mostly wretched UK/Louisville game and present the necessary bullet points for you:
–Louisville qb Hunter Cantwell’s four-series streak in the fourth quarter when Louisville had scored zero points and need something to get back into a 10-0 game: pick/pick/fumble for TD/pick.
–Kentucky scored 17 points in the fourth through very little real offense of their own.
–Kentucky qb Mike Hartline’s leading receiver was the second row of the stands.
–Louisville scored its only points of a 27-2 blowout on a safety.
–310 pounds of glory: it happens in the form of Myron Pryor who had five tackles, a TFL, a forced fumble, and this run for a giant imaginary red velvet cake dancing in the endzone.
Give that man cake, dammit, and all the cream cheese frosting he deserves.

LSUFreek needs to make this happen.

Kentucky is nowhere close to the Top 25, but they most certainly start the year 4-0, will probably make an appearance in the low 20’s before the Bama game, and are well on their way to Bowl #3 straight under Papaw.
It’s nice to not be the doormat of college football anymore.

More animosity towards Bobby P.: Arthur Blank or Louisville fans?
Hey Cardinal faithful – why not get blackout drunk and stumble over to Churchill Downs? Seems like a better use of time than watching that team play.

He actually runs pretty fast for a 300 pounder. He looks like a gazelle with elaphantitis out there.

In a strange twist of deja vu, “310 pounds of glory” was the caption of the picture taken of me mud-wrestling a pig at last year’s Hancock County Fair.
#7 – I don’t think UK will shake the doormat label until the team starts finishing in the top 3 of the SEC East. That means winning against South Carolina (possible), Florida (improbable) and Tennessee (Save Fulmer!).

Here’s to Myron “Red Velvet” Pryor (the name has stuck) ripping one of these off in Knoxville.
Kentucky with a defense. Who woulda thunk it?

#10- South Carolina and UT are definite toss ups for Kentucky, especially if this defense stays healthy and the offense even remotely improves week-to-week. They’ve got 3 tasty cupcakes to snack on and work out some kinks.

Louisville just does not have the personnel, plain and simple. No first-tier playmakers and maybe two second-tier playmakers. It’s bare in the cupboard.
UK’s defense looked good against an anemic offense, and is not inadequate for an SEC defense, but I don’t know how it’ll deal with a decent offensive line and teams with multiple first-tier athletes. I think they will beat Arkansas and pull off one other conference win, ending 6-6. Hello, Shreveport. But hey, it would be another solid year for the Cats, who really look like they are building something.

@12… Everyone is a toss-up for So Car unless we gets us a QB.

That play alone made watching that game worthwhile.
Text message I received from my nephew who lives just outside of Lexington: “That boy picked that thing up like it was a cheeseburger.”

fire-eating, tap-dancing chimpanzees wouldn’t have made watching that game worthwhile. That game was brutal………of course, I watched almost the entire thing. It is early in the season.

PJ from NU in SF says:
That was without a doubt the most putrid performance I’ve seen in a long time, and I was an undergrad when NU was utter whaleshit. (By the way, nice work, Kitties. Keep it up, and you might actually go bowling this year.) Nevertheless, The Pride Of The Highlands and I watched all but the last five minutes. I’m still not sure why, but we’re either incurable optimists, or we have a serious bent for submission and degradation.
After that travesty, it was almost a relief to root for Colorado State, but the weekend in general has spoiled my taste for foobaw for a few days.
