Memory Lane - Bluegrass Miracle, 10 years ago today

This was the one time that I almost didn't watch the end of a game. I was so pissed, I turned it off and went to my bedroom to stew. Then I thought better of it, turned it back on and saw the last drive.

Awesome finish, and very funny to see the UK fans celebrating what they though was a W.

 

Even the evil Nick-tater needed a little luck to win ball games.

 

I remember I was so pissed off and my girlfriend (now wife) told me we should watch the last play. I explained to her that it was pointless because even if they caught the hail mary, they would be 20 yards from the endzone. As soon as I got done explaining it, that play happened.

 

And Guy Morris getting the Gatorade bath AND losing. Talk about a double doozie.

 

That was just wrong to happy on a shitty program like uk. Definitely should have happened against auburn or uf. Refs woulda overruled if it was Bama so that's not possible.

The throw was close to 70 yards on a line.

 

Since we have been beaten several times in last minute events (Arkansas a few times and just recently)
I cannot but help this play has been curse for us....

 

I remember being disgusted one minute then exploding off of my couch saying " are you freaking kidding me" what made it more special for me is it was my boy devery....he and my younger brother played football together at my alma mater.....so I watched devery play his high school career.

 

I was upstairs at Big Woodrow's in Houston. I would have likely not seen the last play if my tab had been closed out a few minutes quicker (since it was so improbable). Everyone was high fiving with looks of disbelief to each other. There were a couple of UK girls next to our table that had been rubbing it our "loss" that suddenly were being mocked by the LSU fans.

 

We were at a buffalo wild wings here in OKC. I missed the play because I was out in the parking lot throwing a temper tantrum. I finally worked myself up to the point of thirst for more beer and went back inside. Some guy was like "nice win man" I remember almost punching him in the face cause I thought he was phucking with me. I looked at our table and saw everyone smiling and pointing to the screen and I was like WTF just happened.
