As I was driving to Lexington Saturday afternoon for a Kentucky basketball game vs Portland, I listened to the final minutes of the UK-UT football game, as Tyler Brays final pass was intercepted I found myself screaming at the top of my lungs. Seconds later I calmed myself down just to hear, Tom Leach Uk's play by play announcer, say "Ding Dong the Streak is Dead, Kentucky has Rocky Topped Tennessee." And once again I was screaming. Beating Tennessee was only something my famlly and I talked about and dreamed of. Never in my lifetime had I seen this happpen and neither had anyone born after November of 1984. It ended what was the longest streak in college football (26 straight years/losses to UT) Gone for now are the days of saying, "is this the year?" Gone is the heartache of nearly topping that team in puke Orange only to come up just short and back are the days of the UK-UT football rivalry.
