Would anyone be interested in seeing other "61" images here (related to UK Football, of course)? I'm sending a couple of examples of what I have in my digital image collection!!
1) A UK vs Florida State program from 1961.
2) A calendar from a Lexington business with player photos and team information.👍 1Comment

So many years, UK did its football teams no favors with scheduling. The 1961 opener was against Miami, a team that beat Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and #8 Penn State that year, and finished the season as a ranked team. Why open with them instead of a hapless Indiana or Illinois that year? The same thing happened to the 1985 team. Coming off of a 9-3 season, they open the 1985 season against a team that went undefeated in the regular season. But for that, they’d have opened 5-0 and been 6-2 in early November when bowl scouts started poking around in earnest.
Same for letting Florida move the game from November to September. The program has seen a lot of mismanagement from above over the decades.👍 1Comment

I search through memorabilia auctions and eBay and make screenshots. I keep a board on Pinterest but I've run out of room there. The University's digital library doesn't contain all of the game programs, but I've managed to collect most of them (just the photos without contents - but I've been able to get contents in some cases).Comment
