How would beefing up the nonconference schedule help? That would just lead to more losses. Their schedule is tough enough. Even the top tier SEC teams play some cupcake teams. The schedule is not the problem. They need to spend the money to get the right personnel in place. While we hire Joker, Arkansas hires Petrino. SC hires Spurrier. UK needs someone with a proven record. And before you say it can't be done, UK was better than Arkansas just a couple years ago. With the ticket prices we pay, the money has to be there. I seriously doubt I will renew my tickets next year. I am a long time ticket holder, but the money is too much to pay to watch a 6-7 team.

If Kentucky didn't schedule three or four low level creampuffs each year they would not finish 6-6. If they don't finish at least 6-6, there will be no invitations to a toilet bowl. It's all about money although the stands appeared a bit empty at Birmingham.

At least this team has a place in history. It is the first Kentucky team to ever play in a bowl and finish with a losing record. At season's end, I would rate this UK team as probably sixth in the Commonwealth- behind Trinity, Highlands, Ryle, Boyle County, and St. Xavier. It's probably good that they play Charleston Southern, Western Kentucky, and Akron rather than any of the aforementioned five.
