Saturday’s win over Tennessee was thrilling for us all, but no one may have been quite as jubilant as Rich Brooks. The former UK coach was at the game for the reunion of his bowl teams, and called into the Wildcat Wrap-Up postgame show to congratulate Mark Stoops on the big win.
“Coach Stoops, congratulations,” Brooks said, emotion (and bourbon?) in his voice. “Honest to goodness, that was one of the best wins I’ve ever seen, ever in my life.”
Brooks said he’s never seen a team overcome four fumbles to fight back and win the game, let alone against a rival like Tennessee.
