Good Karma Friday

This post started as a comment to a post made by Bryan the Intern on Kentucky Sports Radio where he chronicalled the admittedly staggering number of heartbreaking losses the Wildcats have sustained over the last 8 years. My point is that in the new Kentucky era 2006-present, we have had just as many wins where we got the good bounces or made out own luck in the end. Because I put some time into researching it, I reprint it here. Here are some good moments to think about to psyche yourself up for tomorrow's game:


2009
1. UK scores 14 points off of 4 second half Ga. turnovers to win 34-27
2. UK beats Auburn 21-14 on 2 fourth quarter TDs after trailing almost entire game
3. Beat Vandy 24-13 after trailing at halftime
2008
4. Win Liberty bowl 25-19 with Ventrell Jenkins scoring the game winner on a fumble recovery
5. Miracle 21-20 win over Arkansas with two TDs in final minutes
6. Shoestring tackle by backup DB preserves win against Middle Tennessee
7. Block extra point and watch opposing field goal kicker miss 27 yarder, both in the 4Q to win 14-13 at Miss St.

2007
8. Triple overtime win over then #1 LSU
9. Trailing 29-21 with 11:40 left, Cats score final 21 points of game to beat Arkansas
10. Stevie gets looooose!

2006
11. Avoided disaster by stuffing 2 point conversion with a minute left that would have tied game with Louisianna-Monroe at 42 all.
12. Beat Georgia on a go ahead TD by Tony Dixon with 1:21 left. We trailed 14-3 in this game at one point.
