The first thing that anyone thinks of when they think of the Kentucky Wildcats is the basketball team, and rightly so. The Wildcats have one of the most storied college basketball programs in history, and they have been a perennial powerhouse since John Calipari became the head coach.

But basketball is not the only sport that Kentucky plays, despite what the media might tell you. They also have a football team, though less gets made of them because they are normally near the bottom of the standings in the dominant SEC. Perhaps the fact that the players are fighting each other has something to do with that.
According to TMZ, team quarterback Drew Barker was recently sucker punched in the lobby of one of the university's dorms. He took the punch hard and went down to the ground. The assailant was apparently a former member of the Kentucky football team.

According to the article:
"It all went down on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University on January 25th -- after 3 UK players got into a bar fight with a member of the EKU football team earlier that night.
19-year-old Barker and some of his teammates went over to the EKU dorm -- where EKU lineman Patrick Graffree entered the dorm, took off his shirt ... and clocked Barker in the side of the head."
Graffree played for the Wildcats before transferring to EKU.
Police investigated the incident, but no charges were filed. Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky will meet on the gridiron this fall.
