7 Things Kentucky College Students Understand (2)

4.) And We Have a Civil War Like Sports Rivalry

I Got This

“There is only one way to settle this….A bourbon drinking contest!”

 The Wildcats are a huge deal in Kentucky, but they have a rival with a following that is nearly as huge and just as dedicated, and if you are from here, you know who I am talking about. University of Louisville fans and UK fans have been die hard rivals since 1912 when they first played against one another. The rivalry is so well known that it was actually ranked the number 3 sports rivalry in all of college sports by Dick Vitale. You can literally feel the tension in the air during “the Battle of the Bluegrass” and, depending on who you are with, you may even see some harsh words exchanged!

3.) We Got the Brews

“More hops please.”

 

 Kentucky is not only home to all of the worlds bourbon distilleries, we also have a number of amazing craft beer breweries available to us. West Sixth, Country Boy, and Bluegrass Brewing Company are just a few of the amazing microbreweries that we get to drink at! Chances are pretty good if you go to college here in the good ol’ KY, you have visited at least one of these places…many…many times.
