Oh, I thought you all had just given up on it and let us keep us for good...but if you want to blame it on drunk driving, that's fine too. :biggrin2: :hi:

That actually was the reason it was stopped.Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a kentucky player was injured or killed or was the driver in a drunk driving incident.Both schools decided to do away with the Barrel right after that. I'm sure it is stored away somewhere at UT.

It was a wooden beer barrel. So, my guess is NO.
It was banned when a UK player was driving drunk and killed his friend, Tim Couch's good friend, days before the 1998 UT-UK game.
