October 3rd: On this date....


...... in 2008, former Kentucky head football coach Bill Curry was named the recipient of the President Gerald R. Ford Legends Center Award. To be eligible for the award, the recipient must have either played the center position in college or as a professional and made extraordinary contributions to his team during his playing career. Whether or not you agreed with his play calling as the University of Kentucky head coach, you have to give it up to the man for being an outstanding football mind and a great football ambassador. He played in three Super Bowls and two Pro Bowls and was the center for such greats as Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas. He played under coaching greats Vince Lombardi, Don Shula, and Bobby Dodd.
