Kentucky The Wildcat turns 100 today
On Oct. 9, 1909, UK defeated the University of Illinois 6 to 2. Commandant Carbusier, then head of the military department at old State University, told a group of students in a chapel service following the game that the Kentucky football team had “fought like wildcats.” The nickname for our athletic teams stuck, and thus, the University of Kentucky Wildcat was born.



Very crazy.....today is also my dad's birthday. Had never made the connection 'til now. Neither had he. Pretty sweet b-day for a UK fan and alum to have, eh?

#2 Kentucky Wildcats 33-2 (14-2)
2010 SEC Champions
44 SEC Championships
26 SEC Tourney Titles

That is a pretty cool b-day to share. I believe we were the Cadets or something like that prior to. That might make for some really interesting retro unis sometime.
