Most would agree that the in-state rivalry between Louisville & Kentucky is a little more intense on the hardwood than the gridiron. However, that doesn’t mean the two teams don’t strongly dislike each other.
Players from each school that did no grow up in the state of Kentucky probably don’t get a good feel for the rivalry until they’ve been around it for a couple of years.
UofL wide receiver James Quick is a Louisville native, which means he’s very familiar with the in-state rivalry.
On Sunday afternoon Quick sent out a Tweet stating that he was excited about playing Kentucky, but was mainly focusing on the season opener against Auburn.
