PICS OF UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY WILDCAT CHEERLEADERS The “Wildcats” became associated with the university shortly after a football victory over Illinois on October 9, 1909. The then-chief of the military department, Commandant Carbuiser, stated that the team had “fought like wildcats.” The slogan was later adopted by the university, and a mascot debuted in 1976.
