They are begging a 5-7 team to play in the Birmingham Bowl -- so why not Kentucky?

Yes, it sounds crazy. Mark Stoops is no longer leading the program and is probably enjoying the best vacation of his life using Mitch Barnhart’s buyout money.

We have three confirmed holdovers from the old staff in Derek Shay, Anwar Stewart and Mike Hartline, and we’ll see what happens with L’Damian Washington.
