Review

"Stanley has convincingly reminded readers that the contemporary success and priorities of the university of Kentucky's 'Big Blue' athletics program were neither inevitable nor easy.-- Filson Club History Quarterly" -- Filson Club History Quarterly

"Before Pitino was Rupp and before there was Rupp there was... well, that's what Before Big Blue is all about.-- Kentucky Living" -- Kentucky Living

Product Description
An exhaustive account of the early history of sports at the University of Kentucky traces the predominance of football during the 1890s and 1900s and the arrival of basketball, which led to an intense rivalry between men's and women's teams. UP.
