From the Annals of History

Some of us REALLY old guys/gals remember this incredible Mumme-like play long before he was our coach.

Thanks for that OP, remember it well. Seiple was a great player. He also did that in the NFL.

Please, don't "annul" this gem from the annals of history.

Thanks for the post, great memory.

If the dumb camera man had scanned about halfway up the stands on about the 30 yard line I might have been able to pick myself out of the crowd. LOL

Only thirty some thousand at Stoll Field back then, but I will never forget the roar of the crowd when he took off, and it just kept building.

Another happy memory. This one from the victory over UT in the 10-1 1977 season.

I absolutely love these old "looking back" post.

Would love to see a thread of old videos of UK football history.

Both good and bad plays.

Thanks for posting.

Well, I don't like to re-live the so-many let downs we've had in UK football over the decades. But since Grumpyolddawg has been such a decent contributor to this forum, I will post one he will enjoy.

Despite the loss, I did enjoy

Here's a memorable game from the Curci era. This game had blocked punts, long FG, great defensive plays, interceptions, great runs...everything...and a great come from behind victory for the Cats.

It's a couple years old, but here's an interesting article about Mike Fanuzzi who QBed that win against UF and was an outstanding QB for the Cats back then.

I was also at that game. Can't remember the year however. My guess would be 62/63? As I remember things UK not only beat a highly ranked Ole Miss team but then defeated a highly ranked Auburn the next weekend.

Unfortunately, the dream ended with Freddie Biletnikoff and FSU the next weekend. Well maybe the dream ended in Houston.

I was at the game Larry Seiple took off on fourth down. Everyone in the stadium wa stunned. I am also acquainted with Mike Fanuzzi who lives in San Antonio. He has great stories about his years at UK. His son was a highly rated high school quarterback at Churchill High School som years ago. Joker made a half hearted attempt to recruit him to UK. The young man wound up at Rice after transferring from Alabama.

Great posts by everyone.

Here's one from way back. Played in the rain in Gainesville.

Some of you will remember the great defensive performance we had in the 1976 Peach Bowl against UNC. Here are a few clips from that memorable game.

I remember listening to, I think, Claude Sullivan describe this play. If I recall correctly, Coach Bradshaw wasn't happy about it. For that matter, he wasn't happy about much of anything.

I was at this game with my son. We probably lost our voices after this beautiful throw and catch.

If I remember correctly, I read somewhere, possibly on this board, that Joker was against this play, but Brooks did it anyway. I was at this game and it was great.

Our group of fans from Clarksville, TN, were sitting in the end zone seats where Ford scored after the long pass. It was wonderful.
