Yes if you wear your Kentucky shirt to a UK game, you are a fan……wear it work and you are maybe a bit bigger fan…..wear it to an opposing team's game and now you are an even bigger fan…..but wear on your way to the pearly gates…..well now that is a true fan. I am sure people are familiar with the notion of team coffins (http://www.collegiatememorials.net/kentucky.html) but it is a bit new to me. Apparently you can buy a coffin all decked out in UK blue and have your earthly remains drenched in the logo of the Cats. In doing so, anyone who encounters your remains (for instance worms or people later looking for DNA evidence, a la Zachary Taylor) will know your allegiance. So sign up folks…..times a' wasting.












Wow :eek::eek::eek: I guess that's for the "die-hard fan", lol.

You know, I have no interest at all in being stuck in a cold dark hole in the ground to decay away over the centuries. It's cremation for me. But, if I had to, that UK casket would be a great way to do it. :thumbup:

Those things have been around for years.

For me personally, it's a bit much, but if someone's last request is to be buried in a coffin bearing the UK logo, what are you gonna do? Turn 'em down?

So, it will be a UK urn for you ashes?

Nearby my parents' grave is a marker with the UK/wWildcat logo engraved & painted on it.

Looks good to me. I'm sure God will approve. He has certainly gotten lots of prayers from the fans over the years. He knows. :icon_biggrin:

who says you cant take it with you...the tombstone would have to read something like this

"Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
here lies a fan
of the greatest team that ever was..."

Nah, just spread my remains over Jerry Claiborne Field, or dump ém in the 1948 Championship trophy-urn.
