UK-TN Basketball SEC 2008–What a GAME!

If you just missed the KY-TN SEC Game (thanks for the link, Brian), I just have to say, I’m so sorry.  I was absolutely unbelievable.

So, if you TiVo-ed STOP READING.

The last 12.1 seconds took FOREVER, involving a bunch of free throws, mainly CATS, hitting EVERYTHING, and an SEC record for free throws for the season–not by a player on our team.  The Hub could tell you the guy’s name, and I regret that I’m not quite there…but the very sad story here is that he grew up in KY and wanted to play for the CATS, but the CATS wouldn’t have him.  Man!  What a miss.

Tennessee kept it so tight for inbounding the ball we could hardly get the ball on the floor.  I’ve never seen anything like it.  Last play, we were down court, still room for a recovery by TN, and we pass the ball to another player out of bounds, he gets loose enough to inbound, but barely!  It was awesome!!!

Anyway, so…we win.  Okay. 

But, the BEST PART was this, the announcer closes out the game saying, “Yeah, they pulled that thing out of there like a tractor pull.”

I was speechless.  “I can’t believe he just said that.”

You have GOT to be kidding me. 

You all are going to think we seriously do sit around watching tractor pulls all day long {edit:  after my post yesterday showing pictures of my family watching them taped over the weekend…at my mom’s birthday party…with my brother sitting there barefoot}.  What can I say?  Yup, we are rednecks.  I may as well just get used to that.  

Nope…I just can’t give in!
