1982 team was awesome when they showed up to play (see Mississippi State and Tulane that year)!

That was much more impressive before I learned UK was 0-10-1 in 1982.

We also demolished an Oregon State team that year that went on to finish the season 1-9-1. That was the season opener on Sept. 18. How the hell did we open the season that late?

1982 was a crazy season. Our only two regular season losses were in November to unranked Miss State and Tulane.

In 1980 and 1981, we opened the season on Sept 5 and Sept 6. In 1977 and 1978, we opened on Sept 17 and Sept 16. We opened as late as Sept 23 back in 1967.

I guess the later starts were to avoid the heat as much as possible.

Yep. Probably just took two of their bye weeks on the front end.

My dad played 64-67 and said they used to start playing in late Sept. They only played ten games back then.
