ANOTHER Last-Second Clock Issue: Last Snap of Regulation vs. South Carolina
Don't get me wrong - I'm still flying high over the win. But something needs to be done about these late game clock-related screw ups by the refs and/or the officiating process. Could this not have been reviewed? You can see from the sequence of these two frames that UK definitely got the snap off before the clock turned zero at the end of regulation. The ball is already snapped and in Minchey's hands and the clock still shows 0:01 unless the refs are using another "secret clock" a la the Week 1 Michigan game. Why would the SEC not have ability to review this before OT is declared? I don't know the rule for sure - but I seem to recall (maybe incorrectly?) that as long as the center has started to move the ball (i.e., the snap) then the play is underway.
All that being said, I like the way the game ended MUCH better than even if we had gotten that last play off in regulation and completed a Hail Mary to win the game. The immediate decision to go for 2 was such a program-defining moment.

Ideas for Big Blue Madness
Last night Big Blue Madness may have been the worst one ever, and they haven’t been good for exciting for a very long time. Here are the key problems I see.
-The camp outs prior to madness and the rush to get in line was really always the spectacle.
-With social media, people already know who they are.
- I don’t know if it’s Tik Tok or what but I’m tired of seeing people dance.
-with the constraints of size Rupp doesn’t really encapsulate just how big big blue nation is.
My thoughts on improvement.
Mimic what the Reds do in Cincinnati for opening day. Have a big parade from Joe Craft to Rupp and call it March to Madness. This would serve to purposes. 1. Get the spectacle back in 2. Showcase the sheer size and passion of BBN.
Each championship could have its own float with team members riding with it. Players could work with float builders to make their own specialized float that really introduces us to who they are. Great opportunity for local business.
No one else is doing it. It would make it an all day event that would showcase Kentucky for its unique passion for the game.
The madness event itself could then been trimmed down a bit to just do a few skills comps, speeches,etc..

Big Blue Mediocre
Actually, Big Blue Boring, if we're being honest. This event had been the same for literally decades. I don't know, in the world of NIL', what UK can do to shake it up somehow, but it's long overdue.
