I listened to parts of the game including most of the last quarter. The most positive thing and true thing I can think to say is we won and I will jsut leave it at that! A loss after last weeks step forward to this team at this time could have been a disaster! Lets hope we bring our "A" game in Bloomington next week!!

I will have to give Idaho St credit, they didn't look like an under dog and played like they should with reckless abandon. UK pulled off a win against a Football Crispin brothers effort and I'm proud of them.

Im glad to win dont get me wrong. I will also say that last years team loses this game. However, it doesnt make you feel quite as good about the rest of the schedule when you have to rely on a kickoff return with less then 6 minutes left in the game to defeat a Division 1-AA team.
Its also a huge concern that the injuries keep piling up. I have never seen a program or school who every year seems to have so many injuries!

The injuries are very crucial this year to UK having a decent season and yes, they better bring they're "A" game next weekend. I'm sure the Bloomington bunch are salivating after hearing about the Idaho St game.

I suppose it works both ways though, just saw where IU beat 1-AA Nicholls State 38-31, not exactly impressive!

Yeah, I was talking to some IU fans about the Nicholls St game and they laughed about barely beating them.

Not just because we are going to the game Bubba, but I think it is a very even game on paper!

That guy we are going to tailgate with doesn't feel too good about IU's chances. I read an article where Nichols St was wanting to schedule some D1 schools to see where they stood, so they must have thought they had a pretty good team this year.

I am excited to go for a lot of reasons its the first time I have been to an away game since 1984, in Knoxville, TN. Which by the way was the LAST time we beat Tennessee. Im excited to see our first football game actually setting with you and the Bubbette. Also their simply arent many games you can go to as a UK football fan and feel like you have a great chance to win!
