I don't think most people think it's an easy win...but it's a $$ game that we have a very realistic shot at winning (as opposed to a super long shot)
Not to be a smartazz but the game is two years away. How do we know in 2014 that we have a very realistic shot to beat UK two years from now?
You could say the same about ANY team. But playing the odds, we (and everybody else) match up much better with them than a top 10 team. Given history, chances that they're in the top 10 when we play...not good
Yep, and their money spends the same as Ohio State's.
I really wanna play IowaState. I could see why I'd be alone
Good game to schedule but I think they are drastically improving as they have recruited well recently, regardless it will be a better than some we have played.

Well, we haven't played Mizzou or Texas A&M, but yeah.
If we haven't played Texas A&M, then who did I watch UAB play in College Station in 2009?
After a brief search, I saw that we played Missouri on 9/4/99. You were saying?
...I remember watching the Mizzou game...we didn't win, but...I remember Lee Jolly threw a pancake block on a option play (our M.O. at the time if you remember) that sprung the runner 20 yards or so....I fell off the couch laughing... classic!
...and not that it would bring in as much $$$, but... I wouldn't mind dialing up a few ACC teams... the only ones we've played thus far are FSU, VT (they were OUR homecoming, no less!) and WF - we played former ACC Maryland... oh, also had a H&H with Pitt when Fitzgerald was there... guess we've had a few ACCs, but not recently. Ga Tech would seem to be an easy one for a road trip, no?
Just wonder if the 'payback' for defeating an ACC team would pay off more 'long term' than the quick $$$ from an SEC. Probably not, but... ?
