What do you remember about your first UK football game?

[PurplePride92]

My first UK game was in 1993. UK vs Florida. UK was winning the whole game until Florida scored on a late pass I believe from a freshman named Danny Wuerffel. I was hungover and had no plans to go to the game but my homey came through with a bottle of St. Ides and I was good to go and relieved from my hangover by kickoff. Despite the loss we had a great time.

September 14, 1985 (I had to look up the date), Bowling Green State Falcons (led by QB Brian McClure) beat UK in a close game. BGSU would go on to be 11-1 and get pounded by Fresno State in a Bowl Game. My #1 memory of the game was going with a buddy and his family, and getting rear-ended in a drive thru in Lexington at a McDonald's before the game. His dad went apoplectic on a younger girl that hit him from behind as we were about to pull up to the window.

I had seats close to the field and across the isle from the band--I was about 11 years old. I remember how big Art Still and Warren Bryant were. Fanuzzi was the QB and Campassi in the backfield. I fell in love with Uk football then and have never stopped. Unfortunately I never got to see a game at Stoll Field.

 

1982. Oklahoma came into town with a nose guard nicknamed Dr Death. Went on to become a pro wrestler. Stomped a mud hole in UK's butt- as did everyone that year since I think they went winless. Played Clemson that year too. Had a tough tough schedule.

I was there, I think BG had an excellent QB by the name of McClure.....one of those tough loses.

November, 1976. UK switched benches and put Florida on the shady side on a cold day. UK won 28-9. My memory is a little foggy but I believe WR Randy Burke had a big day...

September, 1976. I don't remember much. At that time in my life, I was too busy chasing skirt and trying to pickle my liver to pay attention to details.

Not my first, but one of the more memorable ones was 03 against Arkansas. 7 OT game with final of 71-63, went in with a good buzz going and was there well long enough to sober up.

A friend and I also went to a UK vs. GA game, but never made it as we started pregaming at BW3's. This turned into a trip over to Cowboys, where we might have watched 5 minutes of the game.

Going to see Tim Couch and company play against a Florida team that was ranked in the top 5. Tailgating with fried chicken, throwing a football in the parking lot, and getting a shirt at one of the inflatable things.

 

First UK Football game I got to experience as a student was the 2003 Louisville game that was delayed by a storm. Ruined a cellphone, belt, and maybe some shoes because they were so drenched by the time I left.
