So Is Churchill Downs Done with UK?

[BigBlueCatNation]

I see the Twin Spires lit with red lights tonight and I understand why. However, I remember that when UK was playing Louisville, instead of having them lit blue or even 1 blue and 1 red, they were both red.

What's going on with that?!?

I'm thinking it's because Churchill Downs is in Duh Ville and there's a fairly large tard population in Duh Ville.

Yeah, don't think you will see Keenland doing anything for the Cards.

Turtleneck the media Nazi put the clamps on CD ..Fall inline or else..

We have the most paranoid fanbase in the history of sports.

 

[gollumcat]

Yes, but the point is louisville is in kentucky. Lexington is not in louisville.

Since you can see the stadium from Churchill I'm sure they are just playing the part of good community citizen.

-CD is a craphole in the middle of the ghetto. Keeneland FTW.

I thought for last years basketball game, they had one red and one blue lit. I think the OP may be mistaken.

But UL is not the state school

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

Not paranoid at all. Remember, I don't consider Louisville much of a rival to UK at all. I was just curious because, as others have mentioned, Louisville is in Kentucky and UK is the state school. Churchill Downs always used to support everything Kentucky, I just wondered if that changed recently for some reason.

Don't care if they did. Don't care if they didn't.

Remember? Louisville doesn't exist.

That place is such a dump. If you have never been there and just see the derby you would expect something great. Not the case. Don't walk the streets around the track.

You better be packing if you decide to walk around CD.

Look where CD is located in Lville..that's olde English tattoo breeding heaven.

Pretty simple, UofL was Clemson last night. Had they been playing UK, you would have most likely seen Blue and the Red.

That didn't happen last time. Both spires were lit red.

That's what I thought because I remember being pretty upset about it.

Maybe they can show unity with UL by putting ugly uniforms on the race horses.

 

[gossie21]

I don't know if there is any reason to be upset. I believe traditionally Churchill Downs would light one spire red and the other blue prior to games, and then the would display the winner's colors after the game. Last year they just started red. Not a huge issue by any stretch, but there didn't really seem to be any reason for the change in tradition.

From what I remember, the people at UK & Churchill Downs are not on the best of terms as of late.

It'll probably change in a few years.
