Thank you Coach Stoops.
He’s the best He started a frigin revolution mannnn this is the new UK this is Stoops Troops Kentucky GO CATS BABY WE WANT GEORGIA
Thanks Coach for another great video! You're one of the best things that ever happened to Oklahoma and I"m not just talking about THE University, but the state. Happy for Mark's success at Kentucky. Not just a basketball school anymore. Not sure about the two bottles of Kentucky cologne behind him. Please send him some Rock N Roll! Salud and Boomer!!
We love coach (Mark) Stoops. Another big win over Florida. He’s taken UK to heights not seen since Bear Bryant walked the sidelines many years before I was born. Love the culture Coach Stoops has built at UK. Swarming TEAM defense and punch you in the mouth physicality. But also like the greats he’s not afraid to adapt (bringing in Coen). The next step is beating one of these Georgia/Alabama “upper tier” type teams and winning a West game on the road. At least one if not both of those things happen this year. He has a good shot to get Kentucky in a 12 team playoff when it changes to that format. Just getting started, bro. It was true when he said it then and it’s still true today.
Go Cats!
Mark Stoops is the definition of integrity, grit, knowledge, and resilience. Mad respect for coach Stoops
I am loving everything SC is putting together. BRAVO
Loved Bob @ Florida, as a Gator, hate Mark @ Kentucky 😂. Ironically, I now live less than 4 miles from OU campus and am slowly becoming a Sooner fan. Great guys and great coaches.
Welcome to the show Mark Stoops
I hope the best of Stoops is yet to come , this man is focused on winning football games and winning only and every single one of them ! We get this win this weekend it’ll be big for recruiting we can tell 5 star guys hey , WHY NOT KENTUCKY ? This will be huge for the program and fan base ! Hey we did it in 1950 will do it again damnit ! GO CATS BABY KINGS OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL …&FOOTBALL? 👑👑 Ky fans are spoiled 💙💙😼
Don’t forget about the 1977 season when Kentucky went undefeated in the SEC and finished the season ranked number 6 in the nation in the polls. I’m not sure why Kentucky fans never mention that team, they were incredible, I saw them in person and they were a dominating intimidating football team with a 6 foot 5 248 pound QB Who was such an exceptional athlete that he went on to start nine years in the NFL, and get this…. at tight end. Not many football players start nine years in the NFL but Derek Ramsay was a freak! Best QB UK ever had. He was a brilliant passer but Kentucky ran a veer offense which was very much like a wishbone with three running backs and they ran the ball so well they didn’t have to pass it too often and I’m dead serious when I say that the 1977 Kentucky Wildcats Defense under Charlie Bailey was the closest thing that I have ever seen to the 1985 Chicago Bears. You could see the fear in the eyes of the opposing QBs because Kentucky lived in the opponents backfield. So much so that it was difficult for the other team to execute a simple handoff from the quarterback to the running back. Not only did Kentucky beat up SEC opponents like LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida in 77 but also beat tough non-conference opponents Penn State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and North Carolina
Absolutely incredible interview. Love coach on coach. This one especially. I'm big blue thru and thru. And that's what I loved in Mark's introductory speech. He is hard nosed blue collar big blue thru and thru
AWESOME and Very cool Stoops brothers, LOVE IT...
We played in the Natty game 2000... Miami played 2001 and 2002 Oklahoma played in it 2003 2004 and of course 2008. That is crazy that you almost could've played each other
👊😎
Six months late but glad I made it!
That RD-1 Amburana finished bourbon is dope Coach. Send a bottle to NJ!
Love this so much
Keep it up coach!
WHAT! I never knew, you have my subscription bud
Always had a ton of respect for Mark and what he's done. He's carved his own path and legacy as a coach these guys are awesome.
I hope that coach Mark Stoops always feels at home here. Great coach.

The one thing that has eluded Stoops at Kentucky is that he has never had a really good QB in his 11 years. That needs to change to take it to the next level. Can’t keep bringing in transfers who don’t live up to the hype.
Got a top QB the next 2 classes. Cutter Boley and Stone Saunders. Plus Devin is a lot better than he's shown.
If we can get QB play down with our Running game we would be very good.
@@user-vy2dd3ip9g I wish I had a dollar for every high school QB that was hyped as a top QB before he has ever played a college snap that turned out to be not so good. Being ranked against your high school class is nothing like proving your better than other starting QBs in college. I will say I've watched Stone Saunders and Boley and I like Saunders the best. Leary is another one who hasn't lived up to the hype because he's too inconsistent. This UK 2023 roster is loaded, the best Stoops has ever had. I predicted they would go 10-2. I follow Georgia and Tennessee closely and If Coen and the offense lives up to the hype they can beat Georgia. The dogs ain't got the bite they had the last 2 years. Georgia QB and Bowers are awesome but the players around them aren't.
What the fck are you talking about! Didn’t coach Stoopid have the #1 nfl QB in the country with Levi’s? Didn’t get developed enough? Got beat down for the season!
Seven games a year, woohoo Kat’s!
I have always thought that if one is an OU fan? That 7&4 in football next year. Is a good year.??
But, the wins & losses against the best of, the "Football conference welcome OU?.
Just pass your tics. on.
To younger new OU DNA.
BUT Look Out for 1 or 2 Quality wins.
Of four we. God bless Momma Stoops!!😇!!! 😊
Why didn’t you ask Stoopid if winning 7 games a year is what the KY board and fans deserve?
Why can’t his KY players win games without dealing out dirty injuries and WWF techniques? Does coach have a staff and plan to develop his 2* players, or support for more NIL money?
What’s it going to be, dirty players and 7 games a season???
