No bowl wins in 22 years. No wins over Tennessee for 17 years. No wins over Florida for 16 years. Anyone who grew up as a citizen of Big Blue Nation was well-educated in every single one of those excruciating stats and streaks and slumps, told to accept their lot in life as the SEC's token basketball school and live with it.
"It takes a toll, there's no question about it," recalled Andre Woodson, captain of one of Kentucky's small streaks of football light. As quarterback he led the team through magical back-to-back 8-5 seasons, including the 2007 win over LSU and the start of the school's first three-year bowl win streak. "But I think if you really look back, there were moments of hope. Seasons and games where you could see what this program and what this fan base was capable of; they just needed the right person to come in and show this team and this town how to reach that potential consistently. That right guy is here now."
