re: Bluegrass Miracle - LSU Players Speak

Every time I watch the replay of the “Bluegrass Miracle,” I can't help but wonder whatever became of that young Kentucky fan in the blue blazer and tie. Where is he today, nearly 24 years later?

At any rate the bluegrass miracle would never have happened and the mediocre play at the end of the season because we had an inexperienced QB would have been avoided. Probably would have been in the SEC championship game otherwise.

Henderson had a monster game that day. 298 all purpose yards and 3 TDs. Everyone forgets that he also made a huge TD catch seconds before halftime.

That game gave us the funniest announcer line I've ever heard from UK's radio team. "Our fans are on the goalpost. I don't know why."

Great scenes.
1. Our quarterback running down the field to celebrate while being heckled by a Kentucky fan who had no clue he threw the winning touchdown.

2. The goalposts getting torn down by fans who had no clue they lost.

3. The coaches Gatorade bath and then the agony of defeat.

4. That cow suit [enough said].

Me too.

I can't believe nobody in the media tracked him down to have him tell his story. His reaction was pure gold.

As a side note, I'm the guy that captured the Kentucky radio broadcast off of Broadcast.com after the game and posted it online. I thought it would be interesting to hear, but little did I know that the "They're on the goalposts. I don't know why" line was in there. Hilarious.

I used to have the entire game, but I lost it on my old hard drive.
