Kentucky To Unveil 'Pioneers Of Integration' Statue

[Coug]

$380,000 statue to be unveiled in front of the new $45 million football practice facility.

"The design of the poster is modeled after a statue honoring the four UK players who integrated Southeastern Conference football in the late 1960s — Nate Northington, Greg Page, Wilbur Hackett and Houston Hogg. That statue will be unveiled Sept. 22 in front of UK’s new football practice facility."

Guys like Wilbur Hackett and Houston Hogg should get statues just for their names.
