Or dope school. Or whatever the kids are saying. We don't have the tradition. We don't have the trophies and hall of famers. We can't go toe to toe with the big boys for the nation's elite unless we have an edge. Something that sets is apart. We have to be the cool school. Whether it's uniforms, a high octane offense, a bad boy mentality, whatever, we have to create a swagger or an image that says we are different. We don't give a F. You want to play fast? Come here. You want to look fly? Come here.

People knock the jerseys all the time. I'm not saying they are the reason people are committing, but it all helps build up to a style and environment for these kids to get behind.

New Uni's, new environment, new attitude, and new facilities leads to excitement. As long as we show up on the field, our future is going to be very promising.

The only thing cool about UK is the hard working, professional,respected and dedicated coaching staff that is bringing in the players they want and know will give them the best chance to succeed as a staff. Keep up the great job coaches.

Stoops has made that part of his plan since he's been here..there's a reason he's doing what he's doing with the uniforms, social media, practice facilities, stadium, etc..he's trying to gain an edge wherever it's possible..he sees all that Kentucky has to offer that might not be obvious at first glance..if you dig a little deeper you can see that Kentucky is a sleeping giant like Stoops said..there's absolutely zero reason this school should take a backseat to anyone and Stoops and his coaching staff have said that and realize that..they don't bring in that old mentality of being happy with the scraps from the table..they're guys that are used to having success and being at the top..Kentucky has everything that it takes to build an upper-echelon football program..they don't make excuses and point out what we don't have..they point out what we *DO* have (which is a ton) and build around that
 
I believe the coolness factor definitely has something to do with kids wanting to go to UK. UK is in the beginning stages of doing something special, and this appeals to kids who maybe don't care about the history of some other programs. They are more interested in being a part of something, building a legacy, and when they see that their peers are buying in as well, it starts a snowball effect.

This 'new' Kentucky has a large appeal to alot of these kids. They can play in the SEC, possibly play early, and make a name for themselves.

Having cool uniforms and interesting marketing tactics is leaving an impression for sure.
