Building Ashley a Winner: GJEM’s Kentucky Wildcats Dynasty

Commonwealth Stadium, Lexington, KY

Alumni Game
A new tradition began in 1997 with the insertion of an alumni game as part of the Blue-White Spring Football Game festivities. The alumni play one quarter of touch football.

Blue and White
The University of Kentucky adopted blue and white as its official colors in 1892. Originally, UK students had decided on blue and yellow prior to the Kentucky-Centre football game on Dec. 19, 1891. The shade of blue came about when a student asked the question, “What color blue?” Richard C. Stoll, who lettered on the 1893-94 football teams, pulled off his necktie and held it up. The students adopted that particular shade of blue in Stoll’s necktie. A year later, UK students dropped yellow for white.

Jim Brown, Superfan
When it comes to Kentucky football, Jim Brown has seen it all. With the exception of his World War II military service in 1944, Brown has seen every UK home game—and a lot of the away games—since 1938. Entering the 2006 season, he has attended a streak of 387 consecutive home games.

Paul “Bear” Bryant
Paul Bryant is still the most successful coach in UK football history. Bryant spent eight years at UK (1946-53) and produced a 60-23-5 (.710 pct.) record. The 60 victories are the most by any UK football coach. He led the Wildcats to four bowl games and their first Southeastern Conference title in 1950. He coached such UK stars as George Blanda, Jerry Claiborne, Bob Gain, Babe Parilli, Doug Moseley, Wilbur Jamerson, and Steve Meilinger.

Governor’s Cup
The Governor’s Cup was created in 1994 as the trophy for the winner of the Kentucky-Louisville game. Donated by Kroger at a cost of $23,000, the Governor’s Cup stands 33 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. The trophy’s base and upright columns are hand-milled black marble. The glass components are comprised of Optic grade crystal. All metal parts are 23-karat, gold-plated brass. The cup itself is solid pewter with a 23-karat gold-plated finish. The Governor’s Cup was designed by Kendall Costner and sculpted by James Corcoran of Bruce Fox, Inc. The UK-U of L series was renewed in 1994 with the Wildcats winning the game, 20-14.

Homecoming Games
As in the case of most institutions, Homecoming football games are special. Kentucky is no exception. Alumni and old friends converge on the UK campus each fall for Homecoming Day, highlighted by a Kentucky football game. The first Homecoming Day occurred on Nov. 25, 1915, as Kentucky defeated Tennessee, 6-0. Though records are sketchy, Kentucky has hosted a Homecoming game every year since 1946 and owns a 44-16-0 record in those 60 contests.

The Immortals
Simply known as “The Immortals,” the 1898 University of Kentucky football squad still remains as the only undefeated, untied, and unscored on Wildcats club in school history. The Immortals outscored opponents 180-0 while posting a perfect 7-0-0 record. Roscoe Severs served as team captain under coach W.R. Bass. The closest of all seven games was a 6-0 victory over Centre College.

Mascots
The Wildcat mascot originated during the 1976-77 academic year at Kentucky. Gary Tanner was the original Wildcat, dancing and entertaining thousands of UK fans at Commonwealth Stadium and Rupp Arena during athletic events.

Today, the Wildcat mascot also attends several academic functions as well and generally serves as a friendly ambassador for the University. Scratch, another costumed mascot, was unveiled in August of 1996. During UK games, the Wildcat and Scratch entertain with enthusiastic dances and cheers. “Blue” is UK’s ‘live’ wildcat mascot. “Blue” has a permanent residence in the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Salato Wildlife Center three miles west of Frankfort on US 60 and is on display and free to view by the public. Through the years, UK has had other official live mascots with colorful names. Records indicate that the first wild animal, named “Tom,” was given to the University in 1921. Other live mascots followed, including “TNT, ”“Whiskers,” “Hot Tamale” and “Colonel.”

Minus Ninety-Three
The University of Kentucky holds the Southeastern Conference record for fewest yards allowed rushing in a single game. Kentucky limited Kansas State to a minus-93 yards on the ground as UK defeated Kansas State, 16-3, on Sept. 19, 1970, at Lexington. Kentucky defenders sacked KSU quarterbacks Lynn Dickey (2) and Max Arreguin (5) a total of seven times while intercepting three of their passes. Ironically, KSU outgained UK in total offense 214-107 as Dickey and Arreguin combined for 307 yards in the air.

The First Night Game
The University of Kentucky was one of the first institutions to play intercollegiate football at night. The first UK home night game was played on Oct. 5, 1929, at Stoll Field as Kentucky defeated Maryville, 40-0. Kentucky did not play more than one home night game per season until 1946.

National Champions
Kentucky is the 1950 national champion, according to Jeff Sagarin, who handles computer rankings for USA Today. Sagarin, who has generated computer ratings since the 1970s, has reconstructed earlier seasons and his computer rates the Wildcats as tops for the 1950 campaign. At the time, the national champs were crowned after the regular season but before the bowl games. UK finished the regular season with a 10-1 record and No. 7 ranking before knocking off No. 1 Oklahoma, 13-7, in the Sugar Bowl. Four teams can lay claim to the 1950 title, according to the official NCAA record book. Six selectors have gone with Oklahoma (final record 10-1), five picked Tennessee (11-1), two chose Princeton (9-0), and one – the Sagarin ratings – named Kentucky (11-1).

Night Games
The University of Kentucky began holding its October home football games during the evening hours in 1949. UK and Keeneland Race Course, located in Lexington, have enjoyed a close relationship through the years and assist in giving UK faithful an opportunity to enjoy two of the Commonwealth’s best-loved events in October — football and horse racing. With the traditional post time at Keeneland for the thoroughbred races at 1 p.m., UK began moving its October home games to night during the 1949 season. The only occasion UK has not conducted its October home games in the evening is to accommodate television.

Nat Northington
Nat Northington of Louisville became the first black player to sign with the University of Kentucky and a Southeastern Conference institution. Northington signed a national letter-of-intent with UK in December of 1965. He later became the first African-American football player to play in an SEC vs. SEC game, appearing in the UK-Ole Miss game at Lexington on Sept. 30, 1967.

Originally, UK students had decided on blue and yellow prior to the Kentucky-Centre football game on Dec. 19, 1891. The shade of blue came about when a student asked the question, “What color blue?” Richard C. Stoll, who lettered on the 1893-94 football teams, pulled off his necktie and held it up. The students adopted that particular shade of blue in Stoll’s necktie. A year later, UK students dropped yellow for white.

He led the Wildcats to four bowl games and their first Southeastern Conference title in 1950. He coached such UK stars as George Blanda, Jerry Claiborne, Bob Gain, Babe Parilli, Doug Moseley, Wilbur Jamerson, and Steve Meilinger. Governor’s Cup The Governor’s Cup was created in 1994 as the trophy for the winner of the Kentucky-Louisville game. Donated by Kroger at a cost of $23,000, the Governor’s Cup stands 33 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. The trophy’s base and upright columns are hand-milled black marble. The glass components are comprised of Optic grade crystal. All metal parts are 23-karat, gold-plated brass. The cup itself is solid pewter with a 23-karat gold-plated finish. The Governor’s Cup was designed by Kendall Costner and sculpted by James Corcoran of Bruce Fox, Inc. The UK-U of L series was renewed in 1994 with the Wildcats winning the game, 20-14. Homecoming Games As in the case of most institutions, Homecoming football games are special. Kentucky is no exception. Alumni and old friends converge on the UK campus each fall for Homecoming Day, highlighted by a Kentucky football game. The first Homecoming Day occurred on Nov. 25, 1915, as Kentucky defeated Tennessee, 6-0. Though records are sketchy, Kentucky has hosted a Homecoming game every year since 1946 and owns a 44-16-0 record in those 60 contests. The Immortals Simply known as “The Immortals,” the 1898 University of Kentucky football squad still remains as the only undefeated, untied, and unscored on Wildcats club in school history. The Immortals outscored opponents 180-0 while posting a perfect 7-0-0 record. Roscoe Severs served as team captain under coach W.R. Bass. The closest of all seven games was a 6-0 victory over Centre College. Mascots The Wildcat mascot originated during the 1976-77 academic year at Kentucky. Gary Tanner was the original Wildcat, dancing and entertaining thousands of UK fans at Commonwealth Stadium and Rupp Arena during athletic events. Today, the Wildcat mascot also attends several academic functions as well and generally serves as a friendly ambassador for the University. Scratch, another costumed mascot, was unveiled in August of 1996. During UK games, the Wildcat and Scratch entertain with enthusiastic dances and cheers. “Blue” is UK’s ‘live’ wildcat mascot. “Blue” has a permanent residence in the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Salato Wildlife Center three miles west of Frankfort on US 60 and is on display and free to view by the public. Through the years, UK has had other official live mascots with colorful names. Records indicate that the first wild animal, named “Tom,” was given to the University in 1921. Other live mascots followed, including “TNT, ”“Whiskers,” “Hot Tamale” and “Colonel.” Minus Ninety-Three The University of Kentucky holds the Southeastern Conference record for fewest yards allowed rushing in a single game. Kentucky limited Kansas State to a minus-93 yards on the ground as UK defeated Kansas State, 16-3, on Sept. 19, 1970, at Lexington. Kentucky defenders sacked KSU quarterbacks Lynn Dickey (2) and Max Arreguin (5) a total of seven times while intercepting three of their passes. Ironically, KSU outgained UK in total offense 214-107 as Dickey and Arreguin combined for 307 yards in the air. The First Night Game The University of Kentucky was one of the first institutions to play intercollegiate football at night. The first UK home night game was played on Oct. 5, 1929, at Stoll Field as Kentucky defeated Maryville, 40-0. Kentucky did not play more than one home night game per season until 1946. National Champions Kentucky is the 1950 national champion, according to Jeff Sagarin, who handles computer rankings for USA Today. Sagarin, who has generated computer ratings since the 1970s, has reconstructed earlier seasons and his computer rates the Wildcats as tops for the 1950 campaign. At the time, the national champs were crowned after the regular season but before the bowl games. UK finished the regular season with a 10-1 record and No. 7 ranking before knocking off No. 1 Oklahoma, 13-7, in the Sugar Bowl. Four teams can lay claim to the 1950 title, according to the official NCAA record book. Six selectors have gone with Oklahoma (final record 10-1), five picked Tennessee (11-1), two chose Princeton (9-0), and one – the Sagarin ratings – named Kentucky (11-1). Night Games The University of Kentucky began holding its October home football games during the evening hours in 1949. UK and Keeneland Race Course, located in Lexington, have enjoyed a close relationship through the years and assist in giving UK faithful an opportunity to enjoy two of the Commonwealth’s best-loved events in October — football and horse racing. With the traditional post time at Keeneland for the thoroughbred races at 1 p.m., UK began moving its October home games to night during the 1949 season. The only occasion UK has not conducted its October home games in the evening is to accommodate television. Nat Northington Nat Northington of Louisville became the first black player to sign with the University of Kentucky and a Southeastern Conference institution. Northington signed a national letter-of-intent with UK in December of 1965. He later became the first African-American football player to play in an SEC vs. SEC game, appearing in the UK-Ole Miss game at Lexington on Sept. 30, 1967.
