FORMER CATS RELIVE LSU'S 2002 VICTORY
By Mark Story
Imagine if the absolute worst moment of your career had been caught on videotape -- then shown over and over and over on national TV for years after it happened.
Welcome to the torment of football's 2002 Kentucky Wildcats.
Five years after it occurred, the last-second Hail Mary pass play that LSU fans named The Bluegrass Miracle is still an open sore for the Kentucky football players who wound up on the wrong end of one of college football's more bizarre endings.
When The Best Damn Sports Show, Period is running one of its ubiquitous countdowns on topics like The 50 Most Spectacular Football Plays, Ellery Moore will watch. Yet when the former Kentucky defensive lineman senses that the countdown is about to hit real close to home, his remote goes into action.
"I definitely go out of my way not to see it," says Moore. "They'll do those countdown shows and I'm like, 'Whoa, we're coming up.' And I switch the channel."
