Coach Bryant won there. You coulda had both football and basketball. He proved it. Hell, he won the SEC championship and 3 polling systems claimed UK the national champions in 1950 for ending Oklahoma's 31 game winning streak in the Sugar Bowl but y'all wouldn't get off Rupp's dick long enough to give Bryant the time of day. Y'all don't give a shite about football. You had the best coach in both sports and you ran one off by ignoring him so I have little sympathy for UK football. What's wrong with wanting to be good in both? I so hope Johnson can turn our basketball around.

UK can win in football, but it does take the right coach. I had hoped Stoops was the guy to come from the assistant ranks and be a HC, now I'm doubting his ability, just like Joker. At the time, it seemed like a good hire.
I think for UK to make a statement in football, it's going to have to lure in a big name coach and just throw money at him.

And you are the second winningest basketball program in the SEC but have never done better than an Elite Eight.
I don't think I'd go throwing stones when talking about not nurturing potential quality programs in your athletic department.

If only you were right, but you are not.
A) Bear was at UK almost a decade and never beat Tennessee once (Imagine not beating Auburn in a decade)
B) Bear had 3 good years in the middle with not so good years before and after
C) Bear and Rupp remained friends long after Bear left UK
D) The car and lighter story was more recruiting trick than reality (Bear would pull out the lighter to a potential recruit and embellish the story to get the recruit to Alabama) and was taken out of context by a reporter and embellished till years later it was accepted as fact, when the "facts" were not exactly true.
