Road wins mean a lot, but what about winning at home

I agree that the team has made great strides in the past few years to legitimize themselves in the toughest conference in the country.  I agree that 3 SEC road wins is a feat that we should be very happy about.  What I don't agree with is letting our coaching staff off on making mistakes that cost the team games.  What I don't agree with is how 3 SEC road wins can possible trump 2 SEC home losses that could have been won.  I think we have a good (not great) coaching staff.  They are certainly better than the coaches they have at that glorified community college in Louisville, and they have turned UK football into something to get excited about watching. 

That said, I had season tickets this year for the first time since I was a student.  You know what I saw all year watching my CATS play at home?  Well it wasn't anything to get excited about.  Quite frankly other than tailgating with my friends and family, I had more fun watching them win those road games at home.  I saw them try their hardest to give UofL the game early in the season.  I saw them get beat by two of the best teams in the country in Alabama and Florida.  I saw them beat down on two teams that didn't really make for much of a game in EKU and Louisiana-Monroe.  I nearly froze to death to watch my CATS choke in the 4th quarter (mainly because of coaching) against MissSt.  Lastly, I had to stand there a watch as a win streak almost as old as I am was kept alive by a poor coaching decision against UT. 

Now I know I don't have all the facts.  Joker said that "they don't have a two minute drill" for Cobb.  Cobb and Locke both might have been so tired that they couldn't move and were receiving oxygen on the sidelines.  Joker could have been having a stroke that interrupted him screaming to anyone and everyone with a freaking brain to put Cobb into the game.  What I do know is that when the game was on the line (MissSt & UT), our coaches gave the ball to a freshman instead of the most explosive player we have on the field (Cobb).  Unless that freshman's first name is John, last Wall, and he's playing indoors with a different ball, this is simply unacceptable in my book and I think our coaches need to answer for it.

By the way, I having nothing but love for our players.  I don't in anyway think that we should do anything but cheer our team on as they go to a bowl game for the 4th year in a row.  I just hope that it doesn't come down to the 4th quarter in the redzone.
