4chs Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Vin Hoover did not play for the 1977 Kentucky team that went 10-1. He must have already graduated. You're right, he graduated from UK in 1976, although he claims to have paved the way for that season.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomLandry Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Boone County Irv Goode-OL- UK How long has WKU been D1? WKU has just made the transition to FBS Division (Formerly D-1). They have been an independent with Notre Dame, Army, and Navy the past couple of years. The 2009 season will be their first full Sunbelt Conference season. They are eligible for conference championship this year and bowl eligible. They have become the 120th D-1 school. They open their season on Sept. 5 against Coach Kiffen and Company in Knoxville! Also have inked a four year deal to play Kentucky in 2010-2013. WKU home games in series will be at the Titan's stadium in Nashville to accommodate the expected crowds.

markmiller75 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 My guess is the early 90's. Before that they were in the OVC with EKU, Akron, Central Florida, Morehead, Murray, Middle Tenn State, Marshall, Tenn Chattanooga and a couple more that I can't remamber. While it was called D-1 AA, some people did not consider it D-1 football. WKU went D1 last year first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconBacker Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Can also add Coach Josh McKillip, current FC Defensive Coordinator. He graduated from Fort Campbell in 93 and played at Iowa. Thanks for covering me on that one FC; Coach McKillip was so obvious that I inexcusably looked right past him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdyballgame Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I maintain a list of High School All-Americans on my website, and, while these lists do not indicate post-high school athletic careers, some of the older names may ring a bell as to where they went to high school. I could also use some help on school names for a few on the really old lists in which I only have a city name for the player: Kentucky High School Football All-Americans It's Brent Grover from Highlands on the US Army list. You have it spelled wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canes5Bluedevil Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think a good place to start would be with the former Mr. Football's because missing from the lists I saw were two former UK Wildcats: 1989 Mr. Football, Robert "Pookie"Jones, Calloway County 1990 Mr. Football, Damon Hood, Warren Central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quake Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Mayfield sent highly recruited 4 star lineman Micah Jones to UK but I think injuries and academics kept him off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
