Awesome scene where Boom Williams was literally in tears following the win as he approached Austin MacGinnis and told him how he "appreciated" him. Great to see that the W meant that much to Boom who was maligned last year for a perceived lack of caring.
I thought my wife was going to up and leave me for boom when she saw him get emotional like that.
Imagine the national attention this team would be getting If they made the adjustments before Southern Miss. Won that game and then went into FL and played a better game. We'd be 5-2, going into Missouri with a good shot to win that game and be 6-2.
I enjoyed it, but it felt kind of... I guess empty. Not a whole lot of substance to it. They should consider making the show an hour long so they can get a little more into the details. So much happened that everything was sort of glossed over. There was no depth.
I agree that it felt largely superficial... except for the last 5 minutes or so. It was pretty special in the wrap up, and all I can say is that it sure as hell beats what we laid on Carolina last year. We were their SEC Insider opponent last season. Who wants that segment shot on a loss? Pretty sure that did not help Spurrier's cause much at the time. It was a great game to have slated for this coverage, and did not disappoint the UK SID in the least.
I enjoyed the 2 mins of behind the scenes stuff.
But honestly, that show is so awful/lazy. We get it, you have a slow mo camera. Maybe don't use it the entire show

Maybe throw in a couple guys from Duck Dynasty? Now that's just good reality TV rite ther I tell ya what.....
In defense of the program, the slow motion combined with dramatic music, and the equally dramatic narration, is simply replicating NFL classic films that have been around since the 60's (and maybe further). You guys aren't so much questioning a particular program, as you are an entire genre' of football historical films. It's just the way they are done.
In 1997, UK hired the NFL films narrator and did it's own hour long piece, with dozens of slow motion plays, and stadium entries, with the narrator's voice dramatically saying ish like "would Kentucky's stamina prove to suffice . . . ." I've loved these films since the 60's, although I've found myself giggling at the extreme eloquence and verbosity they contain.
And the last few minutes were pretty special. The win mean a lot to Boom, and all of us.

I told my wife as we watched that the idea is clearly to emulate the old NFL films. I thought it was a bit hokey, but knowing the attempted homage, I also loved it. And, it was the perfect game for UK.
I definitely think he did. This season is his last chance at a bowl and thus collegiate success if he is really considering the draft. MacGinnis nailing that FG keeps hopes of success alive.
He might not be distracted by the NFL so much right now, but it's definitely affecting him on some level, IMO.
I enjoyed it...a bit hokey, but the old school NFL films vibe was kind of cool. I thought Stoops came off pretty well...he's not the greatest speaker in front of the media, but he knows his stuff. Hopefully we can finish strong and see what we got next year.
