Watch Mark Stoops' Monday press conference for his explanation of the Vandy loss
Mondays are for Mark Stoops. Today, Kentucky‘s head coach faced the music in his Monday press conference, a weekly tradition over at Kroger Field. In this week’s conversation, Stoops looked back at the Wildcats’ disappointing home loss to Vanderbilt, wondering how and why his team continues to perform poorly at home and out of bye weeks. He was clearly frustrated, as expected.
“Frustrating on a lot of levels,” Stoops said of the loss in his opening remarks. “We hurt ourselves plenty… There’s a very thin line between success and failure, and we are definitely shooting ourselves in the foot.”
