Cal has been a head coach for 30 years & didn’t win his first & only championship til his 20th season, IIRC. This is Stoops’ 10th season & he inherited a program that was at rock bottom. He’s been a HC for 1/3 of the time that Cal has & still has 10 years to equal Cal on winning his first NC. And, even though we were a little down when Cal took over, it was still much easier to recruit to UK basketball than UK football. We all know the history of the two programs.

And, it’s also a lot easier to turn around a basketball program. You can completely change a basketball program with 5-7 great players. It takes exponentially more to turn a football doormat into a championship program, especially playing in the best conference in the country. Not to mention, 68 teams get to play for a basketball championship every season & only 4 get that chance in football. I’m not saying that Stoops will ever win a NC. But, it’s not a fair comparison, especially now, when one has coached 3 times as long as the other & took 20 years to win his NC. It’s as apples & oranges as you can get.
Ok...how bout an SEC championship? How long will that take? Listen, I love trolling you boobs but the fact is I really like Stoops and think he's done a a great job.
 
Football season is the best, I have to say. Nothing against the basketball program, but it being outdoors in the crisp air with everyone there? It’s just a great atmosphere.

edit: I look forward to a few of those (hopefully) perfect days for football with the nice weather, beautiful sunsets and a win to boot.

Given that “trolling” is forbidden on this forum, odd that this “conversation” would have lasted this long, given this admission.
