Where were you...

Don't remember the section number but it was lowers on the North side next to the visitor section.
My most vivid memories include right after being seated, we noticed that the LSU fans were all in sync with the cheers that their cheer leaders we doing, but when our band play MOKH, the LSU fans disrespectfully keep doing some goofy cheer. The UK fans were really pissed and some of us recalled that do this is "bad juju for the visitor". I sort of felt then that something big might happen.
Another significant thing I remember was in the 4th quarter when UK was behind the fans started this "we believe" cheer. One side screamed "we" the other "believe". It was the nosiest I have ever heard CWS. It helped the team get their second wind and inspired them according to some players comments after the game.
The last significant memory I had was the last play when Braxton Kelly smashed the LSU running back attempting a 4th down conversion for no gain and the referee holding the ball up in the air signaling the game was over.
My wife was afraid to jump down over the wall so I jumped first and then she jumped into me and I caught her. We ran on the field and I just remember being able to pat Christian Johnson and Stevie Johnson. Christian looked like he was in a trance and couldn't believe what was happening.
Never gave so many strangers high fives in my life. It was the most excited I have ever been in my life and it made up for a lot of disappointing finishes I had witnessed in the past.

In a sports bar in Dallas......full of LSU fans and just a few UK fans!
What a night of emotions in that place that night.

Sigh.....My daughter was drum major for her high school's marching band. They were in an important competition that day so....I went to the band comp vs the game. My sons and youngest brother went. My sons told me later that my younger brother, whom I took to games when he was just a kid, cried when they won.
I also missed the game when they beat UGA in Lex....for another band competition. My daughter owes me.....Told her she has to name her first born after dear ol' granddad.

Hey, I hate to be a killjoy, but you just have to go on a diet.
As for me, can't remember where it was but I was glued to the TV. Best win in a long time.
I remember you about to pinch some LSU fan's head off during the Cat Walk when you thought he was making derogatory remarks toward Moncell Allen... [laughing] that was a wild game from the second Wyvern and I got to CWS until we got back to Georgia at 4:00 a.m.... Whew-weee!!!Red arrow, bottom of pic just left of center. Front row right behind the oline bench wearing at white hat. I loved those seats, wish I still had them.
In a sports bar on a cruise ship. There were about 20 UK fans in there and we went nuts. Not a single LSU fan in the bar. By the time the OT started, everybody, even the foreign bartenders, where chanting C-A-T-S.
That is probably my most exciting memory as a UK fan. However, my most proud moment came a week later when I was in an ESPN sports bar in Orlando to watch UK play Florida. We were surrounded by Gator fans and I experienced something that I had never experienced before. Fans of a major football program were where showing a huge amount of respect for UK. Even after they won the game, they were still very complimentary. Hopefully, I get to experience that again in the not too distant future.

I was in the Sydney airport flying back from my honeymoon feeding coins into an Internet machine to get score updates. I had to leave to catch my flight while we were in OT. I didn't find out the score until we landed in LA. Don't tell my wife this, but finding out we won was the best part of my honeymoon 
Section 107, two rows behind the marching band. I may have a few blades of grass from the east endzone...
Once I had time to realize what happened I remembered a thought I'd had the night after the loss to Ohio in 2004 (which coincidentally was Andre Woodson's first appearance in a game, though the crowd was pretty sparse by the time he got in). I remember sitting in the hotel after the game and seeing highlights of Northwestern beating a top-ten Ohio State team and thinking how great it would be to see UK beat a team in the top 10.
Never would have guessed that night that in just three years there would be a win over the #1 team and eventual national champions.

Section 127....I kept waiting for the SEC refs to throw a flag, for excessive celebration, and give LSU a first down.lol. I talked to the father of the safety that Dicky Lyons Jr laid out, after the game. He was very complimentary, we talked for about 20 minutes. Very nice man.
He had on his sons jersey number, and I went over and asked if he was OK. He thanked me, and said yes, and we began talking.

Balad Iraq. Just pulled into the base and was unloading. Our convoy kept getting updates over the radio while we were driving. I rushed to the common area and saw the last 45 seconds.
Sec 139, Row 14, Seat 5. On the whole, it was hands down best UK Football experience of my lifetime... There was something in the air that day... Starting at the tailgate, it seems that most everyone was positive and a little extra amped up for the game... The atmosphere was absolutely electric from the opening kick till the 4th down stop.
Section 119 Row 9. Lost my voice screaming that night and could not talk for a few days. But totally worth it.

Too late, the word is out, some divorce attorney is googling your name as we speak. And no, nine years of "yes dear" isn't going to be enough to overcome that.
