Is the streak ending UK/TN game a good watch?

Looking for games to watch that are outside of the popular picks. I'm not a big believer in "bad football" as it can make it entertaining. However I don't want to watch it if it's only slightly more interesting than the 3-2 abortion.

We were playing a WR under center. You be the judge.

That might be worth the watch alone. Damn Tennessee.

No. Possibly the worst game I have sat through at any level.

Bray was playing with a broken thumb on his throwing hand and Da'Rick looked like he was throwing the game.

UK's offense was absolutely horrendous as well outside of 5 or 6 plays.

If you're looking for high powered offense, then probably not.

It was a hell of a lot of fun to watch going in thinking there was no fricking way it would happen. Especially when UK had been close with some much better players before.

I was there and it was truly awful. Our QB was a receiver,and he threw like 3 passes the entire game, for maybe 15 yards.
It was basically run right and left each play. However, our D played great and Bray struggled most of the game.
It was fun for a UK fan, not sure if you would see it that way unless you like to see unconventional football.

I left the game early and have never seen any highlights/replays. Might be worth taking a look at especially since there were a lot of rumors/talk about Da'Rick and Bray openly trying to lose so they wouldn't have to go to a shitty bowl and reports that Dooley tried to resign later that week.

I know Bray was hurt but maybe watch Da'Rick and some of his drops in the game and report back. Keep in mind he was easily the top WR in the SEC that year statistically and he was shitting all over himself that day.

This game will help make you a believer in bad football.

Ugly, ugly game.

I was there and I can't disagree with any of this. If only Florida will get this bad someday...

I haven't watched a second of that game since it was over, likely never will

It was an abortion of football

Pretty much. The only redeeming thing about that game was the end of the streak.

I remember when it was announced that Matt was going to start. I thought for sure a 30+ arse whoopin' was coming.

It was an amazing coming together of things to allow UK to break the streak. Starting a QB who wasn't a QB, and Bray and UT struggling to end the season.
When Bray threw the 50 or so yard TD pass in the 4th quarter, I thought UT was finally on track offensively, and would score again and win the game. When UK intercepted him in the last minute the fans went nuts. That made it all worthwhile. Plus my father in law who is a huge UT fan was with us and all he could do was shake his head.

Oh, and this for Matt Roark that night. UK QB Matt Roark the "Y" at UK basketball game that night
