I thought that going to these bowls was the reason we get the outstanding recruits.

I really believe if Brooks had come to the SEC, say twenty years ago, we would be a better team. The reason being twenty years ago he wouldn’t have gotten to play the Easterns, Westerns, Norfork States, and had to win within a ten or eleven game schedule. No three buy wins. No 34 bowls to go to.
He would have been gone after a few seasons and we might have a coach who really wants to win on the national level and not be playing the cream puffs we have to play to get to a minor bowl.
Don’t forget its Kentucky Football, nothing expected, no disappointments
Twenty years ago Barnhart would have been run out of town if he had to take a football coach that was out of coaching to fill the slot. He has built a formula that almost assures three to four wins and hopefully we can sneak up on two in the conference.
Twenty years ago, you would have to win some conference games, no more than some to get to a bowl.
