The Wildcats finished conference play undefeated but due to NCAA probation were not eligible for a share of the SEC championship or for postseason play

I'd take an undefeated season without being eligible to play for the SEC championship along with a #6 ranking year in and year out.

Yes, I would trade a Cheetos' bowl every year if we pounded Tennessee, Georgia, LSU and Florida, along with the rest of the league.

Give me a great September, October and November - those with better morals can keep the one game in December that determines if we have a winning record or not every 7-8 years.


But that's just me.

I said we can do it again, by that I mean a great season record and do it the right way. By that I mean no breaking of the rules. I am not sure in today's world UK would have received probation for what happened. But who knows. Anyway, some of the greatest players in SEC history were on the 1977 team. Also look at the schedule. The out of conference was Baylor, Penn State (ranked 4th), North Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia Tech. Compare that with what we have to play now to win a game or two.
