I had a dream last night...

In that dream I saw a UK Senior class that has led UK to unprecedented heights and accomplishments during their tenure. I saw Senior players like Trevard Lindley, Micah Johnson, Sam Maxwell, Corey Peters, Zipp Duncan, and John Conner...who have not once, but twice, had UT right where they wanted them to watch it slip away. I saw Randall Cobb, a player Tennessee thought they could string along and not offer until the last minute, they were so sure he would accept it. There were players like Derrick Locke, Danny Trevathan, Calvin Harrison, and Ricky Lumpkin... guys who noone wanted coming out of high school.

On the sideline was Jeremy Jarmon. A kid who risked everything to come back for another season, only to see a technicality take his season away. In the stands was Keenan Burton, Andre Woodson, Wesley Woodyard, and Jacob Tamme. The guys who started the UK turnaround who also came so close in beating UT only to fall short.

After a back and forth battle it came down to redemption. Lonas Seiber, the much maligned kicker, the whipping boy for the game two years ago, a kid standing on the hashmark of a 42 yard field goal. The camera pans onto Rich Brooks... a man on the verge of retirement, a man who "did it the right way", a man who took UK from the ashes. A timeout is called. The camera pans to Lane Kiffin, arrogant, no fear that "it is just UK, we will win somehow". The ball is placed... Cobb spins the laces... toe meets leather... Commonwealth becomes deathly silent for a full second then......

REDEMPTION!
