Kentucky is 36-26 in the last 5 years. Talk about Kentucky playing in the Cheetos Cream Puff Bowls, don't forget Louisville playing in 3 Liberty, 2 GMAC and the traditional powerful Beef O Brady Bowl. I don't know where you define MUCH BETTER between the two schools recently. Kentucky plays in the SEC and Louisville is in the Big East. How many national titles does the Big East have in football and how many national powers are in the SEC that Kentucky plays versus the Cream Puffs in the Big East. Bottom line both programs stink, neither is better than the other and no way one is MUCH BETTER than the other over the past 10 years
You prove my point for me. UofL does not have the recruiting advantages that the SEC does. UofL was able to beat the likes of Boise St (ranked in the top 10) in the Liberty Bowl, and won the Orange Bowl against Wake. We didn't choose our opponent, but would have been competitive against anyone. How many BCS bowls has UK been to? 0. The year that UofL went to the Orange Bowl, the Big East had 3 of the top 5 teams in Louisville, West Virginia, and Rutgers. Talk about cream puffs. If it were not for William Gay jumping offside against Rutgers, Louisville would have been playing for the national championship that year, as well as the year that Kerry Rhodes dropped the interception against Miami/combined with a Brian Brohm coming in as a true freshman to battle the number 1 ranked team in the country. UK has never been in contention for anything besides the GAYlord bowl. Enough said.
