Kentucky's Brooks goes off on negativity

Kentucky is 5-2 and very much in the running for a third straight bowl appearance, which would be the first time since 1949-51 and the Bear Bryant years that the Wildcats would go to three straight bowls.
Rich Brooks, though, doesn't sound like he's crazy about the climate right now surrounding the Kentucky program. He unloaded Monday during his press conference about the negativity of fans on the heels of the Wildcats' come-from-behind 21-20 victory over Arkansas last Saturday.
Many of the fans left Commonwealth Stadium after Kentucky fell behind 20-7. And even after Kentucky staged an improbable rally to win in the final minutes, Brooks said much of what he heard was negative.
Offensive coordinator Joker Phillips has already been handed the coach-in-waiting title when Brooks decides to step down. With comments like the ones Monday, you wonder if that may be sooner rather than later.
Assuming you are a Cat fan Sandman....Kentucky WON.
That 4th quarter was outstanding by the bluegrass boys.
I'm a Bama fan and liked the way they played against us.
With the recruits Brooks gets, the guy has done a hellava job.
Florida may kill them but with Georgia coming up, who or where
do you think the Gator players are thinking about. Love this spot.
Sandman, getting ready to start a card game and some of the guys are asking
who are you. Sorry, but we don't know you. You sound like you have some good
football sense. We will keep an eye on you Sir.
Hope your Cats cover because we will be on them.
Ego, we will try to behave my friend...if not...cut us off.
it's hazardous to your health to go against Meyer, especially at home...
PublicEnemy#1, had that info but appreciate you posting it sir.
You lucky bastard...Hawaii....been there twice and loved it.
Let's win some money friend.

Big E, I like this Kentucky team. They showed a lot of character coming back on
Arkansas. Yes, the injuries to some key players scare us but Florida has to cover
four scores.
The Gators are coming off a big win over LSU and open date. Look who they play
after Kentucky. Like the Cats in this spot.
Pags11 speaks the Truth :cheersfade,
betting against guys like Urban Meyer, Pete Carroll and Bob Stoops is just suicide...you may win occasionally but long term you will just end up pissed as hell...I know because it's happened to me...Kentucky could very well cover this week, but I'm not willing to chance it with my cash, or even yours...
