Which of These UK Football Games Should I Post Replays of Next?

[BillionthUKFan]

Hi folks, I just received a box of VHS tapes in the mail featuring several UK football games. I wanted to see which ones you guys would like to see posted on my site first. I was going to create a poll on here, but there are a few too many games to fit into the allowed number of poll slots, so leave a comment below with your pick(s) instead. Here are your options:

09/19/1998 - Kentucky (31) vs. Indiana (27) <--- POSTED
01/01/1999 - Kentucky (14) vs. Penn State (26)
12/29/1999 - Kentucky (13) vs. Syracuse (20)
09/01/2002 - Kentucky (22) at Louisville (17)
09/23/2006 - Kentucky (7) at Florida (26)
12/29/2006 - Kentucky (28) vs. Clemson (20) <--- POSTED
10/13/2007 - Kentucky (43) vs. Louisiana State (37) (3OT) <--- POSTED
12/31/2007 - Kentucky (35) at Florida State (28)
08/31/2008 - Kentucky (27) at Louisville (2) <--- POSTED
10/02/2010 - Kentucky (35) at Mississippi (42)

I haven't checked any of the tapes yet for quality/completion, so I've got my fingers crossed that they'll be nice quality and include the entire games. Once you guys let me know which games to do first, I'll start adding them to my site's request list so you can keep up with my progress of converting/adding them. [ LINK ]

My first one would be:

10/13/2007 - Kentucky (43) vs. Louisiana State (37) (3OT)

 

[BillionthUKFan]

Alright, I'm working on that game right now and will try to get it added within the next couple of days. After checking it out, the tape is in pretty good quality and it includes the entire coverage of the game plus quite a bit of post game that aired on WKYT news.

Definitely would choose LSU first. My next choice would be the Clemson MCB. Was a fun game.

 

[Glenn's take]

I know Alabama finished 4-7 that year but it was still Alabama. Who blocked the field goal and returned it for a touchdown that got the game to OT? # 55 sticks out to me and I think he had long hair coming out the back of his helmet but I can't think of his name.

 

[BillionthUKFan]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've also added the Clemson and Alabama games to the requests list and will work on them when I get the chance.

 

[KingsportKat]

Personally I don't want to ever watch any loss again.

The first game at PJ Cardinal Stadium will always hold a special place in my heart. Breaking in their Stadium with a major butt whipping was one of my favorite UK games ever. I'd like to see that one again if you get the time.

That was the game from September 5th, 1998, correct? EDIT: Cause if it is, I had overlooked it and that was has already been posted to the classic football replays page.

My good buddy David Ginn blocked that kick. I was thinking Anwar Stewart ran it in...?

Yes.. I was 10 years old and made the trip from Atlanta. .the day before I met Anwar at the mall aNd he signed my shirt

Got on the radio after the game and froze and barely muttered anything.. will remember that night forever

 

[CB3UK]

Stevie Got Loose is in there. Definitely worth posting that

Hey Billionth, you already have the replays of the 98 UL UK game, 07 UK UL game, and the 97 Bama UK game on your site. They've been on there awhile.

Hmm, you are right. Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I had double checked for duplicate games when comparing what I had already posted... but it turns out I had a few things mislabeled and overlooked a game or two, so I fixed those and have updated the lists.

The 3OT LSU game should be ready by tomorrow morning for those that are interested.

Awesome. I have that game here somewhere on DVD, but I failed to label the damn thing and now it is lost among what is likely hundreds (if not thousands) of other un-labeled DVDs. LOL. I've gotta stop being so freaking lazy and start labeling my DVDs right away. Maybe someday I can go through the pile of discs one by one and eventually find it.

If you ever go through them and come up with some UK football/basketball DVDs that aren't on my site, let me know.

10? geez i'm getting old so fast.

 

[BillionthUKFan]

Alright, the triple overtime game against LSU on 10/13/2007 has been added to the classic football replays page. It has quite a bit of WKYT news post game coverage (including the press conference).

Next up will be the Clemson bowl game... but it might be a little while since this is a busy UK sports weekend.

 

[KyCatFan]

Are your videos working anymore? I tried watching a number of them on my tablet and they won't play. Just watched one the other day just fine, but none are working for me now.

Give me an example of a non-working video so I can try to troubleshoot it on my end. Here lately a lot of videos have been getting copyright flagged, and the copyright holders are disabling embedded playback... so that might be what's happening. For those videos, you should be able to press and hold on the video thumbnail and either open it in a new tab or open it with the YouTube app and they should work.

 

[BillionthUKFan]

Alright, quick update. The Clemson bowl game from December 29th, 2006 has been added. [ LINK ]

 

[bigblue_07]

Personally I'd like to see that Indiana game again... My dad got married that weekend and during the whole wedding us groomsmen was in the back listening to the radio good times lol

Alright, I've added it to the requests list and will get to it when I can.

 

[BillionthUKFan]

Another heads up... the UK @ UL game from August 31st, 2008 has been added. [ LINK ]

 

[BillionthUKFan]

It took me a little while, but I finally got around to posting the requested Kentucky vs. Indiana game from September 18th, 1998. [ LINK ]

 

[JPrickett32]

Would love to see the UK/UL game from 02. I remember UofL fans hyping Dave Ragone for Heisman and chalking it up to a foregone conclusion that they would beat UK. The Cats' defense turned Ragone into a pin cushion that night. BTW nice talking to you again Billionth. Thanks as always my man.

 

[bigblue_07]

Do you have the mark higgs game against tn when he didn't score 4 times. My dad wanted to watch that game again.

Hey bud, good to hear from you. I added that 2002 UK @ UL game to the requests list and will work on it soon.

I'm afraid I don't have that game. Right now the only games I have access to that aren't already on the site are listed in the original post.
