Founded in 1892 in Lexington, the Kentucky Wildcats football program brings Big Blue energy to Kroger Field each fall. Kentucky claims the 1950 national championship after Bear Bryant’s Wildcats capped the season with a landmark Sugar Bowl win over Oklahoma, and the Cats own SEC titles in 1950 and 1976 plus a recent run of bowl victories, including Citrus Bowl triumphs over Penn State and Iowa. From Bryant to record-setting quarterback Tim Couch and modern stars who keep the momentum rolling, Kentucky football blends history with edge. Game week peaks with the Cat Walk and tailgates that spill across the Bluegrass, then the crowd’s C-A-T-S chant takes over under the lights. The annual Governor’s Cup matchup with Louisville adds extra voltage, making Lexington Saturdays a can’t-miss chapter for Big Blue Nation.
