Then I see we went 5 years in a row. Doesn't seem possible.

If we finish the season with a win over Louisville we can start another string. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged Tiptree Administrator Member # 844 posted 11-24-2015 09:31 AM                     That five-game stretch shows how close UK has always been to being a bowl-eligible team. Starting in 2006, the NCAA allowed teams to play 12 games per season instead of 11. That extra game gave UK the chance to get that all-important 6th win. For example, under Jerry Claiborne, UK would have had a chance to be bowl-eligible every year beyond his first, if only we had we played (and won!) an additional game. His record each year: 1982 0-10-1 (0-6 SEC) 1983 6-5-1 (2-4 SEC) Hall of Fame Classic 1984 9-3 (3-3 SEC) Hall of Fame Classic 1985 5-6 (1-5 SEC) 1986 5-5-1 (2-4 SEC) 1987 5-6 (1-5 SEC) 1988 5-6 (2-5 SEC) 1989 6-5 (2-5 SEC) Clearly, a 'great' year was 3 SEC wins, but with enough non-conference wins, we could still squeeze out a minor bowl. Now, we just need to get into a position that we can get 2 SEC wins and 4 non-conference wins consistently. I think we are almost there. -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13628 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged
