Kentucky has had many memorable football victories, including the epic 13-7 Sugar Bowl win over Oklahoma, propelling Bear Bryant’s Wildcats to the mythical 1950-51 national championship – matching Adolph Rupp’s 1950-51 basketball championship. It was a dream year for the Wildcats faithful.
The Wildcats had earlier provided a dream basketball season in 1948, with the Cats winning everything in sight – including the Olympics.
Not quite as incredible as those UK golden years was 2007 when the Big Blue footballers knocked off national No.1 ranked (and eventual national champion) LSU 43-37 before a record crowd of 71,000 at Kroger Field.
