Thank you. This may be slightly off the topic but while I was thinking about old schools I thought about this bit of history and looked it up. Did you know that Wilbur Jamerson ("Shorty"), Wheelwright's coach for many years scored UK's only 2 touchdowns in the 1951 Sugar Bowl? They beat Oklahoma 13-7 stopping their 32 game winning streak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_Sugar_Bowl http://hendersonkyhistory.com/SJamerson.htm Trivia, I guess but interesting. He married a gal from Wheelwright and came there to coach. Now back to the thread topic. And no, I'm not old enough to have attended that game. I just found out about it when I read his obituary awhile back.

That is news to me. The name Shorty Jamerson rang a bell and while I was researching his career, I ran across an article from 1957 that said he lost the first 32 games of his coaching career at Morehead State and Wheelwright (he was Wheelwright's first football coach) before finally getting a win as Glasgow's coach against Bowling Green. I guess Wheelwright talked him into returning soon afterwards. I had always assumed that he was from Wheelwright, but he actually played at Henderson before attending UK.
