You're damn right I'm putting up two blog posts in the same day. It's just a little rule that I have whenever UK's football team beats Georgia in Athens. And seeing as how that hasn't happened since, uh, well, since way before my wife got caught up into teenage vampire dramas, I figure what the heck.
So you watched it, no doubt, or have seen the game highlights. You know about Randall Cobb playing through shoulder issues. You saw Georgia cough it up repeatedly. You jumped off the couch like me when Locke broke that screen pass and took it to the house. And you were most definitely nervous when the Bulldogs drove it down inside the Kentucky 5-yard line with a chance to tie.
But it really seemed like Georgia just didn't want to prevail. Obviously not in a literal sense....but man....on a Senior Night, in a week where their beloved mascot UGA VII passed away (no jokes here, I truly am a dog person), with Coach Mark Richt feeling some intense heat...just a pretty sloppy performance from what is normally a true SEC East powerhouse.
But let's not make this about the G-men. No, sir. We credit Rich Brooks and a great effort from his own seniors and stout underclassmen. That was a well-deserved road win by an opportunistic group of Cats. They took enough advantage of the fumbles, interceptions, and other assorted miscues to finally put the game away.
We shall give basketball a little love tomorrow, but tonight...take a bow 2009 footballers. Congrats on win #7.
