The weather was never going to cooperate with University of Louisville football program for the home opener of the 2018 season. The local forecasters finally getting one right, with the last breath of Hurricane Gordon dumping its massive leftovers on Cardinal Stadium.

The day getting off to a decent start, with the rain waiting until UofL fans were finding their parking spots. But the clouds would begin to leak as fans were setting up their tailgating canopies, soaking the fans and their food, determined to make life miserable for the Cardinal faithful.
