Today is Mark Stoops’ 51st birthday, and with less than two months until kickoff vs. Central Michigan, I thought I’d celebrate by putting together a birthday wish list for the upcoming season. Here are 10 things Stoops needs this year (and if he gets them all, I get total credit):
1. A win over Florida
Honestly, I almost listed this ten times because that’s how badly the program needs it. Florida’s 31-game winning streak is the longest in SEC Football history and the longest active winning streak in the country; it’s also downright embarrassing. Year after year, fans get their hopes up for just for the Gators to yank the football away like some cruel, reptilian Lucy.
