Down Kentucky football all you want, but winning 6-7 games a season and beating Louisville does a helluva lot of good for the program. Kentucky actually gets some of the best recruits in the state and they've gotten some very talented players from the south as well. Those recruits may have been Florida, Alabama, LSU, etc. leftover players but we will take them. Plus Kentucky football has improved a lot since Rich Brooks took over. We still take our lumps from a couple of conference foes, but we've beaten LSU, Georgia (twice), and Auburn in the last 4 or 5 seasons. A decade ago, if I told someone we will beat those schools and the eventual nation champions, then I'd be called crazy.

UK football is definitely on the rise...
but it takes a long time to rise to the top in the SEC.
SEC teams have to have weak nonconference games if they want to win a championship because it's too hard to go undefeated there.
If UK wants to put their football program on the map they need to throw some money at a big time coach because Joker isn't going to cut it.
