# Lexington fans celebrate LSU upset; field-storming fine and Stein contract debated **Published:** 2026-10-11T13:00:24.515Z **Source:** [r/Lexington](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/) **AI-generated:** yes (claude-haiku-5-5) **Canonical:** https://feeds.lexingtonky.news/article/lex-reddit-roundup-2026-10-11 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Residents are still buzzing about Kentucky's overtime upset of LSU, and the celebration that followed. Several threads on the r/Lexington forum are about the win, the on-field crowd, and coach Will Stein, along with a few unrelated posts about jewelry, a Reddit photo, and a hobby shop search. The biggest thread, [a post about couches being set to burn](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2xafg/couches_bout_to_burn/), has drawn the most replies. Commenters are celebrating the win and mostly joking about the field storming. One reply asked whether burning one piece of a sectional at a time counts. Another pointed to the kicker's late field goals and the game-ending two-point conversion. Verified coverage backs up the scene: [the Lexington Herald-Leader reported](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kentucky-football-field-celebration-lsu-053907548.html) that Kentucky beat No. 10 LSU 35-34 in overtime at Kroger Field on Saturday, Oct. 10, and that the kicker had missed two game-tying attempts before making a third with 12 seconds left. Kentucky's quarterback ran in the decisive two-point conversion, per [USA Today Sports](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kentucky-football-fans-storm-field-041341306.html). On the fine, several commenters said the on-field celebration would be worth the penalty. That matches the reporting: [USA Today](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kentucky-football-fans-storm-field-041341306.html) says the SEC's updated policy calls for a $500,000 fine for storming the field immediately after a win. Other replies were lighter, with one noting the win was a reason to get on the field and another suggesting UK is now a football school. The Kentucky Kernel reported that [students rushed the field](https://kykernel.com/129090/sports/im-not-scared-kentucky-fans-pour-onto-the-field-after-historic-win/) as soon as the winning score was made. A second thread, [titled as a reference to a "lifetime contract" for Stein](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2xc01/stein_lifetime_contract_yesterday/), is the forum's main discussion of the coach's deal. Several replies are playful, including a suggestion that Stein be named national coach of the year. Others took issue with the premise. One commenter said no coach should have a lifetime contract, pointing to UK's previous coaching change as an example of how long deals can backfire. The contract details do not support a lifetime deal. Per [WHAS11, which obtained the document through an open records request](https://www.whas11.com/article/sports/ncaa/ncaaf/will-stein-kentucky-football-coach-contract-terms/417-81ed710e-8442-4eb8-890d-007912d03bc4), Stein signed a five-year contract that runs through January 2031. The [term sheet](https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/contract-details-for-new-kentucky-head-football-coach-will-stein/) also includes an automatic one-year extension for each College Football Playoff appearance, with a maximum of five seasons remaining. If UK fires him without cause, [WDRB reports that the university would owe 70% of his remaining salary](https://www.wdrb.com/sports/jets-bonuses-and-a-suite-see-what-new-kentucky-coach-will-stein-s-contract-includes/article_33d31fba-95a7-41ee-b7d7-0d56dae55013.html), paid monthly. A third thread, [titled "Timeless??"](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2sxpw/timeless/), is about a local jewelry maker who uses unusual materials such as breast milk, ashes, and hair. Replies range from praise for the maker's customer service to disbelief and jokes about the "etc." in the description. One commenter said the maker was hard to reach by message. We could not independently verify any of the business details, so they remain unverified and are attributed to the discussion. Another post, [Love this town](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2zi54/love_this_town/), is a photo post with no text. Replies are short and mostly tied to the game, with a few commenters comparing the field storming to the 2007 win over LSU and others teasing the crowd for its enthusiasm. The last thread, [asking for help finding an old Lexington hobby store](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2k1dr/a_little_help_looking_for_an_old_store/), is from a former Morehead State student who recalls buying RPG and board game supplies in the early 1980s. Several commenters suggested HobbyTown, which is still open today. [HobbyTown's Lexington location](https://www.yelp.com/biz/hobbytown-lexington) is listed at 1555 E. Circle Rd. in the Woodhill area. One commenter who said they worked there in the 2000s also said the store was not there in the 1980s, and we could not confirm the store's early history. Other suggestions included Rusty Scabbard, Comic Connection, and Children's Palace, none of which were verified. ## Sources - [r/Lexington](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/) - [USA Today Sports: Kentucky fans storm field after upset win over LSU, fine details](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kentucky-football-fans-storm-field-041341306.html) - [Lexington Herald-Leader: Kentucky's on-field celebration after LSU win](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kentucky-football-field-celebration-lsu-053907548.html) - [Kentucky Kernel: Kentucky fans pour onto the field after historic win](https://kykernel.com/129090/sports/im-not-scared-kentucky-fans-pour-onto-the-field-after-historic-win/) - [WHAS11: Will Stein contract terms and buyout](https://www.whas11.com/article/sports/ncaa/ncaaf/will-stein-kentucky-football-coach-contract-terms/417-81ed710e-8442-4eb8-890d-007912d03bc4) - [On3: Contract details for Will Stein term sheet](https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/contract-details-for-new-kentucky-head-football-coach-will-stein/) - [WDRB: Will Stein contract bonuses and buyout](https://www.wdrb.com/sports/jets-bonuses-and-a-suite-see-what-new-kentucky-coach-will-stein-s-contract-includes/article_33d31fba-95a7-41ee-b7d7-0d56dae55013.html) - [Yelp: HobbyTown Lexington location and hours](https://www.yelp.com/biz/hobbytown-lexington) - [Couches bout to burn!!!!](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2xafg/couches_bout_to_burn/) - [Timeless??](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2sxpw/timeless/) - [Love this town](https://www.reddit.com/r/lexington/comments/1x2zi54/love_this_town/) - [Stein.
