You are so right 4barcat, just what Cal wanted to get them grounded so he could get their attention!

Puts a lot of pressure on a young team to go undefeated.

I know Cal has the dream to go 40-0 but I just don't see it happening in his tenure.
1. It is ridiculously difficult.
2. It usually require a team with talent AND experience.
3. We probably will have talented Frosh. year in and year out who will inevitably run into a obstacle on the way.
Saying that, it's not that important to be undefeated, but rather to show experience and improvement in all situations by march.

I never bought into the 40-0 stuff, because losses are bound to happen, especially when they have that blue target on their backs every game. But I also don't buy that a loss is a good thing. Either way, this team will keep getting better. I just want that overall #1 seed in the NCAAT.

Maybe Cal will keep chasing 40-0 and stay at UK a while longer.
As bad as I hate to lose, I think that was exactly what this team needed. Now we know we can be beat and that we do not, in fact, poop Orange Leaf. Now's the time to put our heads down and put the work in.
I still maintain that getting beat by Vandy in the SEC Championship in 2012 was instrumental in us winning the NC.

Injuries, illnesses, disciplinary actions, individualism, chemistry (the unknowns) make it extremely difficult for any team go undefeated. Should worry about going undefeated once NCAA tourney starts.

If we had won....I truly think that 40-0 was a distinct possibility with this team. Other than being a loss....this was the 'best' loss we could have asked for. Numerous teaching points......too many unforced turnovers......way TOO many FT's missed, the need to play hard thru the Whole possession etc. etc. We Learned though that this team will fight from 15 / 13 down to the last second of the game......maybe the best news of the game. When you step back and see that we lost by 4 pts. with a chance to win the game against a veteran, talented best team in the country (at this point)....AND it's our 3rd game and maybe the 1st real game of the season............WE will ENJOY the spring of 2014. IMHO this team will take the lessons and the pain of this loss into themselves and feed the fire for # 9. I know it won't be a cakewalk but fear Baylor, UNC and the Ville less than ever....and will not be in shock if we see 39-1. Dream the Dream....it's more alive than ever.
