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?
Governors cup bent to hell?

My wife hardly watches sports at all. Just glanced up to see it and asked me if that was the trophy because.... "It looks like a dented garbage can". 
Anybody else hear Tom Leach after the game say that the governors cup trophy 'will stay in the bluegrass?' Did I hear that right?
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.
OK, thanks for that. Hearing it from my perspective he doesn't count Louisville as part of it. But that would explain it, thanks.
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
Y’all need to check the mesonet daily. All I’m saying. Don’t refute the highest, lowest numbers. They are real. Really.
Mine too . And I don’t really know why. Of what importance did it have ?
Jefferson County is part of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Tom misspoke on this like a true Lexingtonian.
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.
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.
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.

Hope UK repairs it! You know if UL had done that our fans would be flipping out.
That kind of thinking is what got us 'saddled' with the checkerboards.
Louisville is full of concrete and weeds. Not a lot of bluegrass in Louisville.
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.
Make it a bourbon barrel or a football. That "cup" part looks like it went through lockdown and was thrown away like a useless paper mask

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.

Noobs sounds right, but that map makes a clear distinction between bluegrass and not.
