It’s no secret that Mark Stoops isn’t a huge fan of James Franklin, and after Kentucky’s 27-24 win in the Citrus Bowl, Stoops couldn’t help but put the Penn State coach in his place.

Yesterday at the Penn State pep rally, Franklin told fans that the Nittany Lions would be wearing the “real blue and white” in the bowl game:

“They are going to be wearing blue and white. WE WILL be wearing the real blue and white. Let’s rock the #VRBOCitrusBowl like it’s never been rocked before.”

As Kentucky accepted the Citrus Bowl trophy after a wild win, Stoops clapped back.

“Don’t anyone question who the real Blue and White is,” Stoops said.

This wasn’t the only time Stoops sent some sass in Franklin’s direction. After Kentucky sniffed out Penn State’s fake punt attempt in the first quarter, Stoops yelled, “BRING IT ON” at the opposing sideline:

And who forget Stoops refusing Franklin’s request to have the BBN back down on Twitter at yesterday’s press conference?

Actually, in hindsight, that tweet looks pretty good, James.

Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky,
