If past is prologue, Kentucky will have an advantage Saturday when it kicks off our state's marquee football rivalry against Louisville in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
The advantage is that Kentucky will be in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
Modern Governor's Cup history can be summed up in three words: Road teams rule.
Even with the home school winning three of the last four, visitors are 9-7 in UK-U of L football matchups since 1994.
The Cardinals are 6-4 in what has been, for them, the friendly confines of Commonwealth Stadium. - Hartline aims to go from game manager to game changer (Sep 3, 2010)
The term "game manager" can be taken in different ways, depending on how it's used and who it's coming from.
Kentucky Coach Joker Phillips and offensive coordinator Randy Sanders prefer to look at it as a positive.
Phillips objected earlier this week to a reporter's assessment that "game manager" is a dirty word.
"It's not dirty to me," Phillips said. "We manage to win this game, it will be the cleanest thing I've ever seen."
"Managing the game is probably the most important thing that a quarterback does at any level, whether it's high school, college or the NFL," Sanders said. "It means you are communicating the game correctly, getting the other guys on the right page, you are managing the 24-second clock, down and distance, field position, and making the plays you need to make." - HIKE: Sept. 3 (Sep 3, 2010)

Radio: WLAP-AM 630 - Knights let 2-0 lead slip as Jaguars rally for tie (Sep 3, 2010)
With the final score reading 2-2, neither side could claim the win, but both teams looked for small victories.
The coaches for both No. 15 East Jessamine and No. 17 Lexington Catholic found them on Thursday night.
For the Jaguars, it was overcoming a 2-0 deficit at the half and tying it up.
"Our second half was much stronger," East assistant coach Trey Kramer said. He filled in for head coach Tom Morgan, who was forced to sit out because of a red card in the Jags' previous game against Henry Clay. "We came out so flat in the first half."
Catholic Coach Greg Hilvers found some good in the Knights' ability to stay with a more experienced team. - Bengals seal Colts' winless pre-season (Sep 3, 2010)
INDIANAPOLIS Cedric Peerman had a 93-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Indianapolis Colts 30-28 on Thursday night in the pre-season finale for both teams.
Peerman finished with 100 yards rushing, and Jordan Palmer completed 10 of 14 passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals (3-2). Starting quarterback Carson Palmer played for one possession, which netted a field goal.
Colts quarterback Peyton Manning didn't play, and most of Indy's starters took the night off. Curtis Painter got the start and completed nine of 20 passes for 114 yards. Backup Tom Brandstater completed 10 of 18 passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns, all to rookie Brandon James.
It's the sixth winless preseason in Colts history.
Mike Nugent opened the scoring with a 52-yard field goal, capping a nine-play drive for the Bengals. A key play was a 12-yard completion from Palmer to Chad Ochocinco on a third-and-four from the Cincinnati 49.
