while I dont agree with you about Tubby, I DO agree with you on Brooks. Brooks was a victim of circumstance in Lexington taking over the mess left over from Hal and co...and not being able to play with a full deck of scholarships, in the toughest conference in the nation, at a place not exactly known for winning. NOBODY in the country would have won more than 4 games at the helm of UK football in any year he has had them except this year, and few would have won 6 with this years team. Brooks is a good coach, that makes good decisions, and is very loyal to his assistants. I have always supported Brooks, and this year made me proud....I think Brooks done the best coaching job in the conference this year, and next year, if he can break even at 6-6, I will submit my coach of the year vote to him. And my two cents and a pat on the back goes to Barnhardt for bringing Brooks to UK and not giving in to those wanting his head. They had OVC talent for the most part, until this year, and even competing in the SEC, he righted the ship..and John Cohen was a fabulous hire for the baseball team..

Amongst the arguing taking place it's hard to agree with someone on the opposite side of a heated issue, but I appreciate you agreeing with me on this one. It's common sense to me that Rich Brooks done a great job and overall Barnhart has done a great job at the helm, despite the differences in opinion of the basketball program he has built the other programs up very nicely.
