Did anyone notice that the governors cup bowl looks malformed. Almost like a bed pan. Is that new? Was that intentional or is there a story?

Just an assumption on my part—-Tom was referring to Lexington being located in the Bluegrass much like someone from Western KY would reference being from the Pennyrile area or someone from the true central part of the state being from the Lincoln Trail region.Anybody else hear Tom Leach after the game say that the governors cup trophy 'will stay in the bluegrass?' Did I hear that right?
OK, thanks for that. Hearing it from my perspective he doesn't count Louisville as part of it. But that would explain it, thanks.Just an assumption on my part—-Tom was referring to Lexington being located in the Bluegrass much like someone from Western KY would reference being from the Pennyrile area or someone from the true central part of the state being from the Lincoln Trail region.
KY is the Bluegrass State but some older folks think of the Bluegrass area as several counties bordering and including Fayette.

Y’all need to check the mesonet daily. All I’m saying. Don’t refute the highest, lowest numbers. They are real. Really.Did anyone notice that the governors cup bowl looks malformed. Almost like a bed pan. Is that new? Was that intentional or is there a story?
Mine too . And I don’t really know why. Of what importance did it have ?Back in my day, they taught the regions of the state. Wonder if they still do?
That said, the cup hasn't gotten much mileage lately

A few years ago Alabama broke one of it's Championship trophies. It cost $30,000.
They did when I started teaching, 15 years ago. It was part of 4th grade curriculum and was on the state testing. But state standards have changed 5 times since then, so I am unsure.Back in my day, they taught the regions of the state. Wonder if they still do?
The article I saw said a father of one of the players broke it. It's shaped like a football. He was probably trying to pass it. I guess it was on display there for a while.Broke it at WalMart, no less. If I remember correctly.
That kind of thinking is what got us 'saddled' with the checkerboards.The trophy looks like a chandelier from a '90s McMansion. It's been dated for 20 years.
It's two teams playing in the state most known for horse racing, get something that looks like a racing trophy. Size it up a bit if you have to. It's not that hard.
Louisville is full of concrete and weeds. Not a lot of bluegrass in Louisville.OK, thanks for that. Hearing it from my perspective he doesn't count Louisville as part of it. But that would explain it, thanks.
Olmsted Parks everywhereLouisville is full of concrete and weeds. Not a lot of bluegrass in Louisville.
The checkerboards are awful, but let's not let that spoil the whole thing.That kind of thinking is what got us 'saddled' with the checkerboards.
Jefferson County is north of the Knobs region, not the BluegrassJefferson County is part of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Tom misspoke on this like a true Lexingtonian.
Jefferson is part of the Bluegrass Region. North of the Knobs is the Bluegrass except where the two meet the Eastern Coal Region so the Louisville-Lexington-Covington triangle is the Bluegrass.Jefferson County is north of the Knobs region, not the Bluegrass

Search DuckDuckGo for "regions of Kentucky" then click 'images'.
You'll find maps that conflict, however I think most geologists will tell you that Louisville is in the 'Outer Bluegrass' region, also referred to as the 'Knobs' - but still in the Bluegrass region.
