appeared to be hurt most of the game as well

i too am proud of this team. With EVERYTHING that has happened through out the season, who wouldve thunk it!! Nice job guys! Go CATS!

I will never be able to sleep and thinking about the game Sunday!

This is the kind of game that makes me proud to be a ’cats fan. After the first half it would have been easy to pack up and make the game long and painful.However, the defense showed great tenacitiy in the second half, made great adjustments, and they were pretty effective shutting down the ECU offense in the second half, which was an absolute must for this victory. Mike Hartline really showed that he could do the things he needed to do for this team to be effective, and we came out victors, despite injury set backs and some very poor officiating, IMO. Now if we can just get a victory on Sunday, all will be right ini the world, at least for this weekend.

His solo tackles on those two third and short plays to force punts were huge. He was all over the place. I’m so excited about this win. This is a huge step in the right direction for our program.

now a 21-10 game

Maybe the refs thought the first should have stood so they overlooked the 2nd. Said they were Big 10 refs, but I am just thankful for the win.

I’ll admit that my previous comments bowl day were unduly harsh on Mike Hartline. He played well enough to win and that is saying something considering the paucity of talent at the skilled position. Outside of the poor decision on the INT on the flea-flicker, I was wrong Mike, well played.

The offensive line gets my game ball for the day. Earlier in the year Rich Brooks said he expected big things out of his OL and I felt they finally delivered. Kudos to a beleaguered OL.

Despite the discussion of injuries earlier in the game, the “flood” of injuries continued with Lindely. Overall, the secondary played well

Just think: all that excuse making and hyperbole earlier in the day was for naught— CATS WIN!

What’s that 14 non-conference wins in a row? SEC 5-1 in bowls.

missed more than that….i.e. knee down on “another” kick off at the 2

and our 3rd straight bowl victory makes this a good year. Now, we need ‘Bama and the gators to win out, to continue the SEC’s dominance. Hartline and Michael Porter have a lot in common, and both have made me proud lately. Now to make this an even better start to a “Great” Year, we need to “D” it up on Sunday as well. Go CATS!

Heard about it when the 2nd one happened.

SEC “backers” on there. Go CATS!

That is absolutely huge for our program.

This will help tremendously next year if they can continue to improve, as well as Aaron Boyd. Can’t think of his name off the top of my head, but the 6’5" 5 star juco WR coming in will also help as well. Throw Randall Cobb in there as well, and our passing game (not exactly the “Air Raid”), looks much better.

It was Jenkins not Jarmon… What an awesome stiff arm…

nfm

They are down 21-17 now.

to be a Cat fan….the future looks awesome for basketball, football and baseball at UK !

 Go Cats !

The 2 SEC teams I wanted to win won, and the one I wanted to lose lost. Although you Wildcats left it a little later than I like. You didn’t have to spot them that lead, but, hey, better late than never!

God, that was a beautiful stiff arm. The mouthpiece flying was a nice touch. Put Jenkins in the Wildcat formation and see what he can do.

I haven’t seen the Cats in person this year and that was a helluva game to see. It was great seeing a game in a crowd of blue. Next year I may have to sneak away to Lexington and steal some tickets. Hopefully, next year I won’t be screaming when looking at downfield recievers running wild while we’re throwing to the flats.
Game Observations:
*Skip’s coaching staff had some bizarre series play calls; especially the three same fade routes to the endzone.
*I heard the refs came from the pac10 – whereever they came from, send them back to school. They almost ruined the game with missed/bad calls.
*I hope Coach Brooks stays a while longer. I guess I’ll occasionally scratch my head at ANY coach’s playcall. You can’t replace Brooks’s passion for the game and that is contagious to a team.
*ECU fans traveled well. Good tailgate area and more fans than I expected. All seemed good fans – even after the game. Except for one guy – started screaming “How can you be proud about 7-6?” I asked him what ECU’s record would be in the SEC and he just got real quiet then made a face like he had just seen his grandmoter naked.
*"SEC SEC SEC" chant at the end of the game (and out of the stadium) was incredible.
*The drive home was excellent – didn’t even get a ticket when stopped for speeding!
