Thus the hypocrisy. It's embarrassing to compete for a trophy that you never win, so the alcohol incident gave UK an excuse to dump it. I'm sure that if UT asked about reinstating it, UK's president would still spew out a wad of pious blather about not wanting to send the wrong message, etc. But yet this is no problem.

Hypocrisy isn't really the right word.

The fact is that the barrel got dropped during the anti-alcohol fervor that invaded UK for a short time after the alcohol related death of a football player that occurred just before the game. It wasn't important enough for anyone to object, mainly because they never got to see it.

The fervor is gone (they seem to go quickly and quietly,) but you can't bring back the barrel that was retired because it killed a kid. The fervor is gone so there isn't any consideration whether putting Cal's face on the state's most famous export is appropriate. Without doing the research, I'm betting that this isn't the first Maker's commemorative bottle with a UK theme produced since the Barrel was retired.

I am the first person to bash UK, but the connection here doesn't really exist.

IT'S JUST YOU.
This is a limited edition bottle that sells for $50.00 and will never be opened, only collected.
And it is a "BOURBON BOTTLE".

It's called Maker's Mark Whisky. While it is a bourbon based on location and process, the poster above you was not in error.
