Should our program expect to go to a bowl every year? With Stoops continuing to enhance our brand and program my answer is a big YES. Here is why...

Should it really be that big of a task to win 2-3 SEC games per year? That's all it takes. 2-3 conference wins and we are in. 4 OOC games where 3 of them are givens and the other (UL) is pretty close to being the same would give us 3-4 given wins every year. If we as a football program cannot manage to win 3 conference games year in and year out then we don't deserve to be in the SEC. With the talent Stoops is rolling in I am confident that no bowl seasons will be a thing o the past, but the questions I posed was simply this (once again lol)....

Should we EXPECT a bowl every single year?

We have a fanbase that's in the top-25 in attendance almost every single year with a historically mediocre product to cheer for. That kind of passion deserves a top-25 product on a consistent basis. Yes..a bowl game should be expected at the very least every year (barring some kind of obvious rebuilding situation). Kentucky fans deserve it. This football program shouldn't take a backseat to *anyone*. Our expectations should be at the very highest level of the sport.

Deep down this is a proud football program with a proud fanbase..it's only relatively recently that we've forgotten what this football program's about. This program takes a backseat to no one if we have an administration that has the same passion for the sport as our fans.

A top-25 product should be asked for and expected by our fans every single year. We have facilities, the fanbase, the conference affiliation, etc. that take a backseat to no one. There are no excuses not to have a top-25 football product on a consistent basis at Kentucky. This is a proud program that's been forgotten about and neglected by those at the top for far too long, and these fans deserve a product that they can be proud of.

Louisville's athletics director took a school that was playing in the Missouri Valley Conference a few decades ago and has given them a consistent top-25 product and they can still hardly fill their 50,000 seat stadium. If you give that kind of product to Kentucky fans you'd have to be on a 10-year waitlist to get season tickets.

Kentucky football fans deserve consistent success. We have every single advantage imaginable over a school like Louisville, and it's gotten to a ridiculous point when their undeserving fans have received a quality product, while our fans have received nothing but heartache, simply because they have an athletics director that's willing to put football first & make a sincere commitment to win at all costs.
