Dear Worn Cleat Club Members:

Dear Colonels,

We are excited to offer this exclusive website to our active Worn Cleat Club members.  This website provides an up close and personal look at your Colonel Football team.  It is just a small token of our appreciation for your loyalty and support.  Eastern Football could not be the first class program that it is without the contributions of the Worn Cleat Club.  We are grateful for your commitment to excellence.  All of you have played a part in the winning tradition at Eastern Kentucky and now you are also paving the way for the team’s future success.

EKU is a special place that has camaraderie amongst its football fraternity that is unparalleled. You can go to any college in the country and be an athlete for four years or you can go to Eastern Kentucky University and be a Colonel for life!  We hope that this website helps keep you connected to your favorite team and we hope that this season’s schedule of games and Worn Cleat events will allow you to stay “in touch” with your teammates.

Thanks guys and enjoy!

Dean Hood
