LEXINGTON - Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks knows not to worry about things he cannot control.
One is attendance. Even though the Wildcats held off Louisiana-Monroe for their fourth straight win Saturday, Commonwealth Stadium still had plenty of empty seats, just as it did the previous two games against Georgia and Vanderbilt.
"That is something I can't control," the Kentucky coach said Sunday. "I do feel for the most part that fans that have been at the three home games are the true Kentucky fans and they have been supportive and seen entertaining football and enjoyed three significant wins in Kentucky football history."
Brooks also can't control what bowl game the Wildcats will play in now that they are 7-4. The Liberty Bowl had five representatives at Saturday's game and they made no secret of their desire to have UK play in Memphis. However, Kentucky could also be in the running for the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta or Music City Bowl in Nashville, especially if it could win at Tennessee this Saturday.
