Setting aside competitive rivalry, history, etc., the main reasons I was satisfied with last night are that we got to see what college athletics is supposed to be. A great coach, putting together some decent players, who developed over 3-4 years, overcoming setbacks along the way, to reach the opportunity to win a championship. This is exactly why 2013 was so pleasurable. You see what it took and the adversity over time. Blood - Sweat - Tears. It's more inspiring. UK felt fake. store-bought Vs homemade. Just my feeling.
