Why? Lose and the momentum of the past decade will start to look really shaky. Win - and the potential of losing Coach Stoops to another school this year (Auburn?) looks to have more potential. John Cohen with Kentucky ties was just hired as AD at Auburn. Many UK fans think Stoops has done all he can do at UK - the rest of the world sees a Coach who has taken Kentucky to 10 win seasons twice - when most thought this program would never win 10 games EVER! Win today also indicates that this coaching staff is still pretty capable of building and winning. Win today and the Reliant Bowl (formerly the Outback Bowl) becomes a real possibility again. Win today and a 8-4 season is back in play and that ain't so bad - ask Auburn or Texas A & M? Plus win today puts a 9 win season in play also. A lot for this team to play for today! Personally, I'll take the win and worry about everything else after the season!
Go Big Blue!
