Well, I'm happy to report when I woke up this morning, UK's 43-37 victory over LSU was NOT a dream. ESPN has been happy to repeatedly remind me of the feat with Sportscenter and their site. It's quite liberating to navigate to ESPN.com and be greeted by this picture:
The Herald-Leader also posted a video of the game's fantastic finish:
There's also an animated GIF of Dicky Lyon's devastating block on LSU safety Craig Steltz.
If the GIF doesn't, you know, animate, try going to this thread at Catspause.com to see it.
As for analysis, what else is there really to say? UK just beat the number one team in the country and as a homer for UK, we are all kinda speechless. Nevertheless, game balls go out to Lones Seiber, Andre Woodson, Jeremy Jarmon, Dicky Lyons, Jr, Jacob Tamme, THE ENTIRE UK OFFENSIVE LINE (who held LSU to 0 -- that's right, ZERO -- sacks), Trevard Lindley, Steve Johnson, T. C. Drake, Braxton Kelley, Coach Brooks... the list goes on and on.
Another thing, many are questioning Les Miles' decision to run the ball in the 3rd overtime... well, UK did come in with the reputation of NOT being able to stop the run and I think he was just playing the odds... Perhaps he should've called pass, but it's not like Matt Flynn was burning it up during the game, although, he was victimized by a ton of dropped passes.
In this case, I think some credit is due to UK's defense and particularly Braxton Kelley for making a helluva stop on 4th and 2.
Enjoy this Cat fans because it doesn't come around very often (I feel like I've typed this sentence already this season) and there are more games to be played. We can't get caught being hungover with beating LSU because a team some of you may have heard of is coming to town on Saturday: The Florida Gators... and we all know just who great UK has done against them in, oh, the last 22 or so years.
once again congrats and goodluck next week. hope to see you guys in Atlanta. As for miles decision to run it was not a bad one but what was a bad decision was to have Matt flynn in at that time. If he had put Perrilloux in then UK whould have had to worry about something else and maybe made a mistake. But doesn't matter what if's can go on and on. You guys deserve to feel good about that win. you are some great fans and good people also. enjoy it man.

you to Dude goodluck. I hope you guys beat Fla. I would rather play you guys again. Just because you beat us. we beat FLA already nothing to prove there. But you guys beat us and was a better team lastnight. Woodson is outstanding. He should be the front runner for the Heisman in my opinion.
but im sure dispite the loss at LSU.. if you would walk down the campus today (no buildings have fallen down... the earth hasnt swallowed up the campus!!! BUT ITS SO FUNNY HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN isnt it?????
That block Lyons threw on was awesome! I was at the other end of the stadium rooting on Stevie after a great catch and run and then it was capitalized by that block! Everyone let out a collective "OHHHH" when he put that lick on! I'll try to put a new blog up on Saturday night when I get home from the game...win or lose.
