Mark Stoops better have his guest bedrooms dusted with clean sheets and air mattresses blown up throughout the house. Ready or not, the Youngstown family reunion is here.
Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats are set to take on the Youngstown State Penguins at Kroger Field on Saturday, a homecoming of sorts for the head coach, along with the likes of associate head coach Vince Marrow, inside linebackers coach Mike Stoops and safeties coach Frank Buffano — all Youngstown natives.
Practically every friend and family member will be making the six-hour trip down to Lexington, with Marrow putting the estimated number at 200 to 300 special guests coming to town.
