...... in 2009, marked the 100th Anniversary of the Wildcat nickname for your University of Kentucky. After a hard fought 6-2 victory at Illinois, Commandant Carbusier, then head of the old military department at State University, told a group of students in a chapel service that the Kentucky football team had “fought like Wildcats” to pull out the victory. The nickname became synonymous with the University immediately following the game. As time went by, more and more fans, along with members of the media referred to their team as “Wildcats”. As a result of this trend, the nickname was officially adopted by the University.
