Kentucky vs UT

Game went into three overtimes with Tenn winning by 2. Kentucky had not beaten the Vols since 84. Game gave Tenn the east title instead of Georgia. Georgia could have had the hottest team in football going up against a backup QB. I guess we will never know

Back then, were posters on the SEC rant responding with 1980? I think so.

No "may have" about it. I remember being in the stands at bobby Dodd and all the UGA people barely watching our game bc they were glued to phones or radios listening to the Kentucky game. If UK wins we're likely national champs. It's insane how ridiculously close UGA is from winning 5 natties this century (not including Monday).

We beat that UGA team 16-12 in Sanford. What a game that was.

Kentucky had about 6 solid chances to win that game

Just ask Bama fans this year. It's just so tough when you don't earn your way into that SEC title game. It's too bad.

Lones Seiber missing two of three FGs that game. Sigh.

If we had a little deeper bench we might’ve been alright. But still amazing what Rich Brooks did with that team despite all of the restrictions when he came in.

Ah, Tennessee's only SEC East win of the last 20 years.

It was complete bullshite. And then Tennessee had another horse shoe in the arse game right after that against Arkansas, where the one quarterback for Arkansas got hurt so they put in his little brother to play quarterback. And Tennessee farted around the whole game but still found a way to win. That game was my introduction to Jim Chaney.

I'm biased, but LSU would've got their shite completely pushed in by Georgia in the SECCG that season.

Erik Ainge going color blind in the 4th quarter of the SECCG decided the 2007 national title. Tennessee wins that game if their QB protects the ball in the 4th quarter

I give that Matt Ryan epic win over Virginia Tech a lot of credit as well. Even though I hate the Falcons, I never said a bad word about Ryan out of respect for his hand in LSU making the championship that year.

To anyone who read this and thought that it didn't make any sense, it's because it didn't make any post. The post was a mash-up of the Tennessee/Vanderbilt 2007 game and the 2014 Missouri/Arkansas game lol. Brain isn't old but definitely not as young as it once was.

But then we wouldn’t have seen Georgia knock Colt Brennan’s dick in the dirt.
