The Sports
Aesthetics: A Uni Watch Fans Page will be posting a minimum of 1 NCAA Football Team (Division
I) a day to celebrate the 150 years of College Football. The teams will begin
with the oldest team in their respective conference (Big Ten = Oldest
Conference) until all the teams are listed. The team helmets will go back to
the early 1960’s and their current logo will be used.
The Eastern Kentucky Colonels
football program represents Eastern Kentucky University in college football as
a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC), and competes at the NCAA Division
I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level. The school has traditionally
had much success on the football field, having won 21 OVC conference titles and
two Division I FCS National Championships (then called Division I-AA) in 1979
and 1982, and reaching the finals in 1980 and 1981. Much of the success came
during the long tenure of head coach Roy Kidd from 1964 to 2002. In 1990,
Eastern honored Kidd by naming the school's football stadium Roy Kidd Stadium.
Eastern Kentucky's football team was able to secure 31 consecutive winning
seasons before finally posting a losing season record in 2009.
In September 2013, the Lexington Herald-Leader, the daily
newspaper of nearby Lexington, reported that EKU was considering moving its
program to the top-level Football Bowl Subdivision. However, under NCAA rules,
such a move would require that EKU receive an invitation from an existing FBS
conference.
