Rivalry week!
I wish they Tilghman-Mayfield game wasn't so early in the year. That game should be played in October.
ReplyDeletei imagine it was originally played on thanksgiving. i believe that's when most rivalry games were played in kentucky and in other states for some years. i think my father-in-law told me that madisonville annually played hopkinsville on thanksgiving.
