Founded in 1881 in Lexington, Kentucky, the Wildcats have forged a proud football identity. Under Paul Bear Bryant, Kentucky claimed the 1950 national championship and capped the season by stunning Oklahoma in the 1951 Sugar Bowl. The program owns an SEC title from that era and, in recent years under Mark Stoops, has stacked signature bowl wins, including Citrus Bowl victories over Penn State and Iowa.

Game day at Kroger Field is a Big Blue Nation showcase: the Cat Walk funneling fans to the gates, C-A-T-S chants echoing across the blue-and-white checkerboard end zones, and rolling tailgates that often pair with a fall afternoon at nearby Keeneland. Annual showdowns in the Governor's Cup against Louisville and the long-running battle with Tennessee keep the rivalry stakes high and the student section roaring.
