Kentucky would have by far the most people there no matter who we played. That's how much our fans want a good football program

I would have gladly driven down to the desert to see UK play in this game. I got to be honest though. I don't think it's ever going to happen. My hope is more someday UK will actually just play in the SEC title game. Maybe if we ever get that done I'll garner some optimism we might play in one of these games. Because if we could win that SEC title game we'd likely be in the playoffs.

But first I have the much more modest goal of just winning 6 games.

Just being honest here. It will not happen in my lifetime and probably long after I am gone.

I certainly don't think we could out do some programs like Notre Dame or Bama, but I certainly think we would bring a crowd that's one of the (if not the) largest amongst programs that have a sub .500 lifetime record.

But I agree with the poster above. I'd put a lean on my mortgage to get tickets on the 50.

I've seen UK play in a national title. On NCAA Football 2014 I took them to like 4 in 6 years and won 3 of them. It was glorious guys. If anyone still has the game we should watch someone take them to the national title game cause I do not see it happening in reality unless Saban really wants to head north for a challenge!

I bet we could out do Bama. Clemson had more fans in the stadium last night than Bama did. So I guarantee if Kentucky ever makes it to the Natty, it will literally be a sea of Blue. But let's take baby steps and get to "A" bowl first.

I was only able to win back-to-back titles with UK. And you are right... it's the best way to vicariously live it!

I'm 29 and have wanted to see Kentucky have one great season since I was 10. I have yet to see a great season... Seen a few good ones, but nothing spectacular. As of now, the only way I ever see us being a title contender is how Maryland/Wake Forest went to their BCS games: Catch everyone down on your schedule, play over your head a few games, and a lot of luck. Hopefully Stoops can bring in enough talent and have some sustained success and change that.

I'd just be happy to win 6 games...

I seriously doubt that any of us will ever live long enough to witness UK in a football National Championship game.

Yes, I would be happy with that too!! But if we were to possibly win the title game then that would probably propel us into the final four because the team we would be beating would be Alabama.
