?Be True, Wear Blue!? is the theme for Saturday?s football game against the visiting South Carolina Gamecocks.

In anticipation of the national telecast on ESPN2, UK Athletics encourages fans to turn Commonwealth Stadium into a sea of blue by wearing their blue UK apparel. Beginning Wednesday, Dawahare?s stores will be selling ?Be True, Wear Blue? T-shirts in support of the effort.

Saturday?s game is slated for 7 p.m. as the Wildcats seek to extend their three-game home win streak. It is only the eighth time in Commonwealth Stadium history (constructed 1973) that the Wildcats have gotten off to a 3-0 start on their home schedule. UK is seeking a fourth-straight home win for the first time since 1987.
