I think you are right about what will be but that is not what had/has to be.It hit me in 1978. We were never going to be a factor in the SEC. After the probation I knew that was the pinnacle. 6-7 wins and a minor bowl was the ceiling. With coming expansion I don’t expect we will see another winning record. I am thankful for the optimism of you young guys for those of us 65 and older reality set in decades ago.
We've all seen strong programs rise from nothing. It all starts with the head coach; the great ones win everywhere they go.
The only way UK ever becomes elite is with a great coach. Say what you will about Stoops but only an idiot could call him great.
