From the Times-Picayune:
LSU Coach Les Miles isn’t the only member of the SEC coaching fraternity who believes the conference is better than the Pac-10 in football.
Kentucky Coach Rich Brooks said the same thing Wednesday. And he’s a Pac-10 alumnus.
Brooks became the first coach to lead the Oregon Ducks to four bowl games, including the 1995 Rose Bowl. At the SEC media days, after proclaiming that this year’s Wildcats are the most talented bunch he’s had in Lexington, Brooks was asked how they compare to the 1994 Pac-10 champions.
“It wasn’t as tough a conference as we play here,” he said.
The remark passed quickly, and Brooks went on to say last year’s Kentucky team, with all its underclassmen, was probably more like the 1994 Ducks.
Well, Rich, you’ve got us there: today’s SEC is tougher than 1994′s Pac-10.
