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.

I am not saying schedule USC. Schedule a BCS team that will challenge them, someone the caliber of Illinois, Northwestern, etc. someone that is very winnable but will challenge them.
I am just sick of UK playing cupcakes to win enough just to say they made it to a bowl game. I think it can be done, I do not think they are very far away to going to the next level. The preconference schedule just does not get them ready for the close games in the SEC.
