[caption id="attachment_213796" align="alignnone" width="1024"] @UKStoopsTroops[/caption] After going through their third practice of the week, the UK Football shifted into fun mode and toured the Mayport Naval Station. Our contingent of reporters (Nick, Jack, and Freddie) is still en route to Jacksonville, but thanks to social media, you can almost feel like you're there via pictures and video.

In turn, tributes to the victims of the 9/11 attacks are all around the ship.
