8) Wildcats
Mostly vague and unoriginal.
Nice try at a troll but much to be desired. UK was playing football about a decade before everybody else in the SEC. It was original back then and now everybody has copied their mascot. It is not vague as it was based on a historical game when the comment was made that they "played like wildcats" and it stuck. I think at one time they had live wildcats at the game but the ASPCA may have ended that.

Sort of true...UK played 3 games in 1881 (all three games against Kentucky University (which would later be known as Transyilvania University). UK then played their next game 10 years later in 1891 (at the same time other SEC schools were starting the sport).

A 10-year head start and you STILL can't get it right?
