Yes, believe it or not I watched most of SNL through Weekend Update. The opener was brilliant, Michael Phelps could have been worse (loved Poehler "Mom" and real Mom!) I think I spotted that Guy Fieri from Food Network next to William Shatner. I hope Priceline paid for that plug!
Kentucky won a game last that historically they would have lost on the final play. I mean, I can list dozens of games through the years that UK lost in the last moments. Kentucky's kicker had a dreadful, and I mean dreadful, game, but there he was to kick a FG that would put us up by 9 with 20 seconds or so left. The only way you can lose in that situation, of course, is for MTSU to block the kick, recover the ball, and Hail Mary it down the field. Of course, this is EXACTLY what happened. I'm listening to the call online and I'm thinking "damn, here we go again" and flashing back to my last time in Commonwealth (which just happened to be the LSU game. No, not last year's game. Yeah, THAT one.) Somehow...some way...thanks to Robbie McAtee pulling down the MTSU guy who of course caught the Hail Mary around the ONE yard line...UK actually pulled victory from the pending jaws of defeat with time expired. The dreaded high ankle injury bug hit big time as well in the 1st half. Sheesh, thank heavens we have a bye week and one more non-SEC team scheduled before the SEC season starts.
While UK was trying really hard to lose their football game last night, USC was annihilating The OSU last night by a score of 35-3. Guess that will shut up everyone around here for a day or two. I hope.
