Mark Stoops is very likely to earn his 50th win at the University of Kentucky in a couple of weeks, making him only the second coach in school history to reach that mark along with Bear Bryant. Some of those previous 49 wins have been hard to watch, some of them have been historic, and they have come in a variety of ways. Some were done with offense and some with defense. But ultimately, no matter how pretty, UK came out on top 49 times.
So I’ve ranked those 49 Mark Stoops wins into four tiers. The top-tier wins are those that were historic, memorable, and program-defining.
