Below is a great read about Saturday's game. I haven't read much in regards to the atmosphere at the game Saturday, but the quote below certainly seems to sum it up.
What changed my heart was the stadium atmosphere on Saturday. I attended the game with my family and what I saw there made me sick to my stomach. As the Louisville Cardinals climbed back from a 24-7 deficit and dominated the second half of football, I watched the Kentucky crowd slowly retreat in shame and the pro-Louisville crowd became louder. It got to a point where it felt and sounded like a Cardinal home game in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
I have been to plenty of Kentucky football and basketball games and I have never seen a visiting crowd take over our home in that manner. And Wildcat fans weren't even angry. There wasn't bickering. There weren't any attempts to drown them out. We simply just took it. Our heart had been ripped out and there was no fight left in us. Much like there wasn't any fight from our team on the field. It was surreal.
As I left the stadium, there wasn't anger amongst the blue fans, there was a sense of acceptance. This is Kentucky football. This is who we are. We bought into the hype. We sold out the early games. We were "All In." We did our part. And for that, we were punched in the gut by the slimiest head coach in college football for the second year in a row.
