East Carolina Pirates vs Kentucky Wildcats 2009 Autozone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee

[thomasoeler]

the last kentucky man who made the touchdown was so amazing fat^^ nice hahhaa

[bandmasterjf]

Proof that the conference USA champs are almost as good as the SEC mid-level teams.

[67ovette]

wow this looked almost just like the arkansas game i got to admit ecu deserves respect yall are tough go hogs

[Jproc08]

Dont worry, There will be plenty of pirates there too.

[soooiiee]

All those empty seats you see in this video will be filled with Razorback fans from Eastern Arkansas this time around.

[bandmasterjf]

@soooiiee

There were very few thick blue spots in the stands. We were on their side and the closest ECU fans were probably 5 rows away. It was a very "HOG FRIENDLY" game.

[johnzw789]

Pirates are back in it again this year! can't wait to see everybody there! Lets go Pirates!

[MIRAGENUT]

Did Pinkney ever find his mouth piece at 2:40???

[WhatsUpGreenville]

Good catch!

[Kryer98]

I love the match-up of C-USA champs versus SEC #6 in this game. I t always makes for an even game.

[taylormarieholman]

SEC is the BEST conference to be in! I was there and we showed ECU that they were over rated! 81.9% of America thought ECU would win on ESPN! All the people who voted ECU, Y'ALL R NOT ALWAYS RIGHT!!! GO CATS!! I hope basketball season turns out well!

[MSMFD1]

Bitches, Kentucky was TOO FAST, TOO BIG, AND TOO MUTHA FUCKIN' SEC FOR ECU!!!!!!!

We shoulda had one other score when the ref missed the knee on the other kick off.

[NDPIRATE]

Kentucky did what it had to do to win, but they certainly were not too fast, big and talented for us. We more than held our own in that department. Classy comment by you, though!

[JRadfordrocks]

UK wasn't too fast?

I'm assuming that's why ECU caught him on the kickoff return.

I'm assuming that's why they caught the D-line guy on either fumble recovery.

UK wasn't too strong?

Let's check the hit at the 2:55 mark

How about all the hits where UK didn't have to wrap anybody up. They just hit the ballcarrier and he falls.

UK wasn't too talented?

What about those broken tackles on the TD pass?

And finally, talent wins games. Period.

[Cgunit09]

ECU fans have no right to talk about being classy. I was at the game and your state song was played first. All the UK stood and were polite. During our song, "My Old Kentucky Home," ECU fans performed their AAARGH cheers, Very classy indeed.

[MSMFD1]

Your team was not physical. It was very apparent throughout the game Kentucky's conditioning came through. Oh, and our QB had the flu.

Had Randall Cobb been healthy we might have put this thing out of reach in the 3rd.

[stackhouse43]

I was there and it was a great game. GO WILDCATS.

[Jabberwock30]

even the laughing stock of the SEC can still beat the good team not in the sec...SEC!

[Chkee97]

No, Tennessee is the laughing stock of the SEC. Really, you could also include Auburn, MSU and Arkansas in that conversation too. Alabama and South Carolina were a joke too and it showed in their bowl game. At least UK managed to win their game. If any team in the SEC played in a league as weak as Conference USA, they'd be undefeated. That is how Louisville went on their rise, because they never played anyone in that chump league.

[Jabberwock30]

tru.

[joevol33]

Hey, Hey, The Vols can't be a laughing stock to any kentucky fan. How long's it been now? 1984? I was born and raised in kentucky, but thank God I saw the light! Go VOLS!!!!!!!!!!

[jephsteph]

This game shows how tough the SEC really is. Kentucky was the last place team in the SEC East and still was able to beat a mid-size conference champ.

[heltonda]

utah beat a sec in a bcs bowl kentucky shouldt have played at all in a bowl game

[JordanDardis]

your a total idiot that was a great game. utah didn't make it so.... stop whining? yeah i think that would be a good solution.

[davelex08]

to be the man, you have to beat the man, not teams like Utah State and Air Force. You will NEVER gain any respect from SEC, BIG12 or Big East fans. Bama was over rated all year, everyone in the SEC knew this. Step up next year, play a tougher schedule and earn repsect, we dont give it for one lucky win. Utah would be middle of the pack in any other conference in the country year in and year out.

[heltonda]

ecu got screwed by the refes kentucky player kness was down when he recovered the ball that cost ecu the game kentucky shouldnt havent play in a bowl game this season

[ukFAN1231]

uk also got screwed they could have scored before that on a fumble recover TD that was called back and on another when they was returning a kickoff the ecu dudes knee waz down at 1 yardline but they got the second one uk won so getover it no cusa team is ever gonna beat a powerhouse sec team

[WhatsUpGreenville]

Those refs had issues for sure. Hate the Pirates couldn't come out on top in the end.

[DeaNovo]

the ref didn't call the play dead because he didn't have control of the ball when his knee was down. Jenkins got control when he was on his feet. Know the rules jackass

[primefox]

You sound hot. I think I am in love.A/S/L..LOL

Thanks for the video Greenville Princess, and "GO CATS"

[WhatsUpGreenville]

While I wish Greenville's Pirates could have come out on top, I'm happy to provide the highlights, primefox.  Thanks for watching them!

[DoRu42]

It was a great game right to the end. We Tivo'ed the game on ESPN but I'm looking for video of that coin toss that started the game. Anyone have video of that?

[WhatsUpGreenville]

Sorry DoRu42.  I went back to my own DVR of the game, but I didn't catch it in time for the coin toss either. Came in right at kick off. I hope you find it.

[DoRu42]

Ya, for some reason ESPN didn't show any of the pre-game coin toss. I'm hoping someone who was there caught the coin toss on their cell phone or something. Thanks for checking the DVR though.

[Shindler39]

This game was the best Bowl game so far in this year Bowl season, it had everything, the kind of game you want to watch it again during the spring when football is over.

[WhatsUpGreenville]

Totally agree. What a great game to watch from start to finish. Thanks for looking at the highlights!

[kwebster62]

Thanks Kim Reeves for your narration. More thorough than your average sports show. I agree on the 1st fumble. There was no way that was indisputable evidence. You couldn't see the ball when the knee was down. Great job Cats!

[WhatsUpGreenville]

Thanks for the comments kwebster62! That must have been the Big Ten's 3rd string officiating crew because some of their calls defied reason. Even so, it was a great game. Best bowl game I've seen this year.

[cyro8]

love that last stiffarm!!! go CATS!!!!

[WhatsUpGreenville]

Being from Greenville, I can't say go cats, but I can say "great game!". Kentucky played hard in the second half and deserved the victory. Thanks for checking out the video.

[ukspeake12]

HELL YEA!!!! GO CATS!!! 3 IN A ROW!!! I still say there wasnt enough evidence to overturn the 1st fumble. But oh well justice was served two plays later with the greatest stiff arm this season!!! VENTREL JENKINS!!! ESPN SUCKS FOR NOT PUTTING THAT IN THE TOP 10

[WhatsUpGreenville]

I'm sure it will be in Pinkney's top ten hits that he's taken. Thanks for checking out the highlights!

[quarantine94]

jenkins slugs the quarterback. i love it!

[WhatsUpGreenville]

Poor Pinkney. You know his buddies will be playing that back for him for at least a year. Thanks for checking out the highlights!

[crazysportsdude]

3 Bowl Wins in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Cats! Brooks made something happen at half time.

[WhatsUpGreenville]

What a way to come out and start the second half. It's hard to stop that kind of momentum!
