Kentucky had a special visitor on Monday at head coach Mark Stoops’ radio call-in show.
Country music artist Toby Keith stopped by for an on-air appearance and had plenty of praise for the Wildcats’ head coach. He also predicted a Florida loss on Saturday.
“This is my boy right here,” Keith said about Stoops, according to Kentucky Sports Radio. “This boy’s going to take down Florida this week.”
The Wildcats haven’t beaten the Gators in 30 years.
Keith told Kentucky fans they’ve got “the best man on the job.”

“How many great basketball schools have a good football team?” Keith asked toward the end of the interview.
“Kentucky,” Stoops replied.
Keith spent some time criticizing ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who also happened to be at the radio show.
Apparently, Keith has always been a supporter of Stoops:
