Stadium Expansions Spell Governor’s Cup Doom
The numbers heavily favor Kentucky in tomorrow’s Governor’s Cup matchup. Louisville’s home-field advantage isn’t quite an advantage either.
Kentucky fans will surely pack the stands that have often been left vacant during Louisville’s abysmal 2-9 season. Blue will get in and rally Stoops’ troops, but none of that matters. The Cards are already doomed.
