For the fourth straight year, Western Kentucky will host its annual Louisville Kickoff Party, presented this year by the WKU Greater Louisville Alumni Chapter, at Buffalo Wild Wings in the Shelbyville Road Plaza (4600 Shelbyville Road) on July 27.
The event is set for a 5 p.m. CDT start and will feature the back-to-back Conference USA champion Hilltoppers and first-year coach Mike Sanford.
“It’s really important for our program to be in Louisville,” Sanford said in a news release. “It’s not the actual capital of the state, but for all intents and purposes – economically, socially, culturally – Louisville is as important an area as there is, both in recruiting and in developing relationships with our alumni.
