Give Joker a 10 year extension!!!

Way to go KATS!!!

Wow, I am stunned. I watched the 4th quarter puckered, and in disbelief.

Happy for the seniors, but I still want Joker gone.

Joker beat Spurrier for the first time last year and beat UT this year, I still want him gone.

I'd Second this if I hadn't already started my Fire Joker campaign. I'm still done with that moron and I don't even care that he beat UT. I'm actually kinda pissed he did because it MAY have saved his job, unfortunately.

Of course it saved his job. Like classic Kentucky and MOFO head Mitch Barnhart they will give me an extension, new car, keys to the city, etc. We will have to endure this Joker for another three years based off this one win. So many times Curry was gone and he won late in the year. They let Morris go because they did not want to pay him. Brooks did some good things but he never turned the corner like a winning program should. Hell, I live here in Austin and the Texas faithful are ready to kill as they might be 7 - 5. We are happy with just making a bowl game. I have watched UK sports all my life. Over 40 years I have never seen them take football serious. I love basketball but why in the hell can't we hire a good coach. They will come. With the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri to the conference, Kentucky is in a good spot to get a good coach. The Big East is failing. Coaches want to coach in the SEC. None of you can tell me that we cannot find a better coach than Joker Phillips. Bottom line is that if football was successful they would easily make more money than basketball. Do the math.

It already does. It makes twice as much. Of course part of the reason is the salaries of the two head coaches. But you're absolutely right. UK could go get a real coach and be a force in football.

I'll savor the win.
I'll continue to dislike the coach.

Like I tell all the Dooley haters around here, two years is not enough time.
This win really got him some much needed brownie points.

Difference between Dooley and Joker's 2 years... Joker's been with the program as a player and before he got this job, he was the teams Offensive Coordinator for like the previous 7 or 8. People wanting to see Joker fired are justified, Dooley haters not so much.

Savor the win? Brownie points? That is a freakin joke. It appears none of you have ever experienced being a fan for a winning football team. This is the problem with Kentucky football. The fan base is ok with brownie points and savoring a win that took 26 years to get. Missouri and Texas A&M will come in the league and kick the crap out of us. This is embarrassing. Fire the Joker, dump barnhart, and hire a good well established coach. The fans want it, well most of us who want to win more than six games.

Yes I'm going to savor the win and hope Joker gets fired.
Enjoy some of the little things man.
Last I checked all I can do is not buy tickets since I'm not on the board of directors. My last ticket was the UL game and will be until we (I mean they) get rid of Joker.

For most of the game, I was completely indifferent. But when we went up 10-0, the competitor in me took complete control. Nobody was screaming louder than me when we finally beat UT. But now that the dust has settled, I still want Joker to go. 5-7 which followed 6-7 ain't gonna cut it, esp given the fact he's been here for about 8 years.

Ohio St backed up the brinks truck to get Urban, AZ hired Rich Rod. UCLA, Ole Miss, & Kansas fired their coaches. Somebody is going to hire Mike Leach which is ashamed, I fully believe he would be the right coach for us.
