Sad Scenes from Kroger Field Following the Kentucky Loss to Louisville

Of all the bad losses, this wasn’t just one of them, it was one of the worst. Kentucky ended a 4-8 campaign with an embarrassing 41-14 loss to Louisville.

Kentucky Sports Radio’s Steven Peake was on the field as the final seconds ticked off the clock. The scene was filled with emotion, ranging from sadness to anger.

A few players had to be separated during the postgame handshake. J.J. Weaver could not contain his tears after he walked off the field for the final time as a Kentucky Wildcat.

That was just a small snapshot of the surreal scene at Kroger Field. Many fans left the frigid temperatures once Louisville opened up a 27-7 lead. Instead of playing a hype video and launching fireworks, the usual fourth-quarter pyrotechnics were scrapped. The facilities staff read the room and nixed the tradition.

With the stands emptying, some Kentucky fans chanted, “We want Sumrall!” Louisville fans left their seats to get near the Cardinals’ bench to participate in the postgame celebration. It was a devastating defeat that felt as ugly as it looked.
