August 9th: On this date...
... in 2009, your University of Kentucky Wildcat head football coach Richard PaPaw Brooks led his team in what would be his final and most successful Fan Day at Commonwealth Stadium. For those out of the know, Fan Day is the football equivalent of Big Blue Madness, a time when players get introduced and get to interact with the fans. PaPaw gave a State of the Union, giving the attendees the in and outs of what each needed to do for the 2009 Cats to be successful. The SOTU was then followed by a long autograph session and several stations where kids could try on player's uniforms, helmets, etc. It also signaled the end of unicorns and rainbows for the football team, as padded practices in the blazing heat and humidity were just days away.
