    Yeah, maybe. That doesn't explain why KY has lost 14 straight to the Dogs, including the 10 when Stoops was coaching.

    Not sure what Ny Carr is doing but he is right about competing with the best TEs in the country. We have those so you had better be a really elite wr to be able to warrant catches. All true.

    He's afraid he can't compete so he took the money and the guaranteed playing time. Weak sauce Ny.

    Wow! Someone needs to give Stoops a good shaking and tell him what a bad look this for him.

    Kirby has been nothing but respectful about and to Mark Stoops, and this is what he gets in return. Unreal!

    NIL gives and it also takes away, and that also applies to Georgia. Georgia has more funding - support than Kentucky, but even before NIL that was the case and Kirby was already recruiting at an elite level. If anything, NIL has had a negative effect against Georgia. Just look at how Saban was out recruiting every other team by a long shot before Kirby came to Georgia and when Bama was the clear-cut No.1 program.

    In 2017 Alabama had more 5-star players than the other three playoff teams had combined. Kirby and Georgia would've been able to enjoy that kind of recruiting - bump after the recent success, if not for NIL. With NIL Georgia, or any other program will not get that benefit any longer.

    Georgia doesn't out bid other teams for their players. That's what Texas, T A&M and USC are doing. I just lost a lot of respect for Stoops.

    Stoops has always been a Chronic Complainer, now you can add Panhandler to his resume.

    Hey Mark, in football you can't buy CULTURE that creates TEAM......it only comes when you recruit players with the right mind set, physical make up, initial skill set and then you develop each player to commit all for the TEAM goal....WIN. Each week these players require daily guidance to get better. On game day each player requires coaching direction to execute each play.......good luck buying players, first you might want to ask Jimbo how that's worked out for the Aggies!

    Stoops it felt good this time last week when you were 5-0 and #20 and talking about pulling and upset. Suddenly getting that @$$ smacked it doesn't feel so good. All I can say is welcome to finally playing some big boy football.

    Stoops said, that how UGA did it(built a great team by using the NIL). LOL- if only they recruited as well as CKS and his staff. I seem to remember a phrase, "If you build it , they will come. " Well Kirby has built it!

    Stoops has done a good job making KY a team not to be taken for granted. Good on him for that. But to say UGA has gotten to where we are is by the NIL is a bad look for him.

    Stoops has to make excuses to KY folks for a bad game strategy. The only way is to campaign and lie that Kirby uses NIL to buy players...demanding his fans pony up the same way as this grifter Kirby Smart....lolololol. Complain, complain. I am so glad UGA has Coach Smart at the helm!!!! Stoops will never beat him. Sick of the complaining.

    Stoops needs to realize that the secret sauce for UGA is NOT money but taking the players you recruit and as he stated, make them "elite at getter better" (EAGB).
