re: Will Kentucky make a bowl game this year?

Obviously you have no idea how much Joker fricked up the program. Stoops has had his work cut out for him.

Must suck to be an LSU fan. Y'all will never be Bama and that kills you.

Let's not pretend UK was a powerhouse prior to Philips. How long was that losing streak you guys recently had against UTK again?

4 guaranteed wins. All they have to do is beat two of Florida, Louisville and South Carolina. All of which are very winnable games.

I think TN is a very winnable game too. TN will over look them, they get the game at home.

The only way he'd leave is if the NFL came calling and if that is a dream of his (not sure).

But they likely aren't calling as I think he is more of a great college program CEO and recruiter than someone who can coach an NFL team.

TN is a top 10 CFB program and the only 1 that is better than us that he cares about just got occupied.

UK is a top 75 CFB program so Stoops will likely have many options. to improve his current situation.

Tennessee has played UK 30 times in my 30 year lifetime and lost once.

This is not the year for them to give us a scare.

I see what you are saying though about it being the week after a road game at Bama and then another road trip though.

10 ten program all time.

Not top ten program the last 5 years, moron.

And that has little bearing on the status of the program in 2015, when Tenn hasn't been nationally relevant in so long. It's like UCLA in basketball. With each passing year they become less and less relevant and it becomes harder and harder to reclaim that elite status.

They had multiple bowl seasons in a row before Joker. And that was even post-probation. You'd have to be pretty blind if you think Joker didn't leave the program in worse shape than when he received it.

We for sure will, Stonehog care to make a wager on it? Oh, wait....

Much truth. 50K for the 2013 spring game. 35K last year due to stadium reconstruction eliminating partof the available seating. Didn't have one this year due to the contruction.

Those numbers are on par with many of the SEC top dogs.

Don't see why so many fans are hostile about people thinking they might not make a bowl. Y'all said it yourself. You are rebuilding a really decimated program, and that schedule is really not favorable. As far as fan support, seeing how rabid the base is about basketball, I have no doubt they could also fully support football -- esp when it is on the upswing.

Again though, that schedule looks pretty tough. I think you get five wins so I doubt you get there, but as plenty of others have said, there are several games that you could pull off. I think it will come down to the last game at Louisville for bowling.

There is no University of Louisiana so unsure of who you play in your first game. I think UK has a good young team so I don't think 6-6 is unreasonable.
