UK Football played host to some very special athletes today at the Tim Couch practice Fields. Flag football players representing Special Olympics Kentucky had the opportunity to spend time with the Cats and received some hands-on instruction. Following the scrimmages, Coach Stoops surprised the athletes by inviting them to be his guests at Kentucky’s home opener.
I’ll have a full photo gallery up later, but here are a few of my favorite shots of the Cats interacting with the Special Olympians. As you can see, the experience was fun and rewarding for everyone involved.

Here is some video from the event including Coach Stoops’ comments on last night’s “Blue Collar” practice under the lights.
