After going through their third practice of the week, the UK Football shifted into fun mode and toured the Mayport Naval Station. Our contingent of reporters (Nick, Jack, and Freddie) is still en route to Jacksonville, but thanks to social media, you can almost feel like you’re there via pictures and video.

The team toured the USS New York, the hull of which was made using steel from the World Trade Center. In turn, tributes to the victims of the 9/11 attacks are all around the ship.

The Cats also met a fan far from home in Aaron Banther, who got some pictures with the players:
