I was prepared to do a little mocking when I saw this post about Kentucky being in the midst of a truly special season, until I saw this:
Despite the criticism and lack of convincing wins, the Cats have a real shot to go 9-3 this season. Just how special would that be? Mark Stoops could join Bear Bryant and Fran Curci as one of three coaches to win nine regular-season games at Kentucky. It might not be one of the most talented teams in Kentucky history, but it could end up being one of the most five successful teams the program has ever fielded.
Whoa. Bear was a legend and Curci cheated, so, yeah, when you consider the history, Stoops really does have a shot at a special season at UK, no snark intended. Well done, sir.
