Vol Phantom steals the Beer Barrel

[Titans Fan]

1953 UT at UK. Was Kentucky’s QB’s knee down on the game winning score? The Vol Phantom stole the Barrel after the game because of the refs.

Lol dude was on his stomach when he made the pitch. The ref was standing right there, not sure how he missed it.
He must have been paid off by the Dark Lord before he inhabitated his current host Saban.
Cool article OP.

I see our tacking sucked back then as well.

Was it a pitch, or did the RB pick up a fumble?

There's a reason you don't hear much of a guy named Bowden Wyatt on The Hill.
