I diasgree. No one said remove cupcakes, but improve the "Name" of the cupcake. Like I have said many times, you get players because they want to play in the SEC and play in "Bigger" than the Toilet Bowl! You get that by strength of schedule points. Akron and Duke are no better than each other, and UK dominates them both. But, a win over Duke is remendously more impressive when Bowl invitations go out. A recruit would much rather tell his family he has a chance to play in the, who knows, Cotton Bowl than telling them my team annually has a lock on the Holiday Bowl. Like I said before, look at the records of teams playing in better bowls, they are no different than UK's, so all the detractors tell me - WHY?

Argh. You just busted my bubble. But I agree with you that the names of then guaranteed wins needs to change. But I just find it sad that ky HAS to schedule three guarantees for the benefit of their record. Playing in the sec is hard enough and I don't want them to look any worse than they do. But my argument was just that Alabama does for easement. Ky does it because they have to for the chance at a winning record
