I don’t take victory laps, and I’m not interested in “I told you so.” But I, or “Frank,” stuck my neck out last week on the radio, saying plainly that Kentucky cannot move forward with Mark Stoops, Mitch Barnhart, and the same UK Athletics operation next season. It wasn’t a rant for the sake of a rant. It wasn’t heat-of-the-moment frustration. It wasn’t just me being grumpy during busy times at work or playing a character for the bit. It was what Kentucky has shown us lately in a pivotal time for college athletics.
And then Kentucky lost 41-0 to Louisville in the Governor’s Cup, missing out on bowl eligibility for a second straight year.
