Sure.   It's the Fenway Bowl.   I'm sure the dozens watching at home will be thoroughly entertained.

Another common opponent is South Florida.  Cards won 41-3.  Bearcats closely won 28-24.

Common opponents mean little, now a days. Tennessee kills Florida, Florida kills South Carolina, South Carolina kills Tennessee.

While USF had an incredibly band season, the UofL game was absolutely the worst played of the bunch. I don't know if it was coming off the Florida game or what, but they could do nothing right on either side of the ball that day. (I think it was because my Hot Browns were so spectacular that we killed the tailgate and jinxed everything.) The Bulls defense was horrible all season, but in the games played against teams not called UofL they scored at least 21 points in each of those games and averaged 28 points a game for the season. 

 

You all follow college football way more than me.  How often has a coach left for a school they were playing in a bowl game? Anyone remember it happening before?

 

If Bryan Brown is still coaching with Louisville, I'll take UC in the bowl game. 

Going to be a lot of young guys playing in this one for the Bearcats.

Do the baseball grandstands cut through the corners of any of the end zones like they do at the Dayton, KY high school stadium?  You wouldn't think that an old stadium like Fenway would be convertible to football.  ?

Getting really thin at WR... UC will play without their top 6 receivers.

Patriots used to play at Fenway from 1963 to 1969 so it has hosted FB before.   But since they moved I don't know what renovations to Fenway would have done to future FB configurations.   Must not have made a difference if they are still able to fit it all in safely.

If it weren't for the Keg of Nails and history between the schools this would be an absolutely meaningless game. Both teams have skeleton coaching staffs and players have left to prepare for draft or transfer portal. I don't even know how vegas puts a line on this game. I'll be watching though and Go Cards!

He will not.  I believe Kerry Coombs is the interim coach. 

This, like most of the bowl games, will be partially determined by opt-outs and portal entrants.

 

 

And by who's more motivated to be there. I think U of L will be ticked off with the whole "coaching carousel" situation, and really be hyped up to hammer UC.
