Sports are a more than just a distraction. For many, sports are an escape from the stress of every day life. And in Louisville, Kentucky, sports are an integral part of life.
It has always been that way for me. As kids in this area, we grow up red or blue, and if you remember growing up a Louisville fan, you probably have memories of watching or listening to your first big games, accompanied by the pure joy of victory, or the absolute agony of defeat. Arguing with the UK kids on the school bus, or in the cafeteria was commonplace.
