In a hilarious moment on X, The State of Louisville, a site covering Louisville athletics, sent out a tweet hoping to explain the low attendance tomorrow in their matchup against Georgia Tech. The tweet was meant to be informative about all the different things happening in Louisville during the same day and time, but it backfired, and Kentucky fans jumped on it. Scroll down for some of the funniest replies and quotes from that tweet.
Don’t come at our neck for this, but don’t expect a massive crowd for Georgia Tech

Saturday will feature:
- Bourbon and Beyond w/ Zach Bryan, Cody Jinks, & Teddy Swims (> 45k attendance expected)
- Racing Louisville game at 7:30
- Louisville Bats game at 7:15
- Churchill…
That's certainly a lot going on. Five things were mentioned as conflicting with the Louisville - Georgia Tech game. However, the nature of those things caused a hilarious reaction from Kentucky fans. The last one on that list may even have been the impetus for the slamming of this tweet. The last bullet point says: "Little league football in full swing." Here are some of the best and most humorous reactions:
Don’t forget about that new all night gas station that just opened up … https://t.co/f14199tfeG

"How can Louisville football expect to get a good crowd with the likes of minor league baseball and 2nd tier soccer to compete with" might be the funniest thing I've read this month 🤣 https://t.co/uyM9IMSzG0

Saying your fans would rather watch minor league baseball than your conference opener is quite the self own https://t.co/Kn8RGQ0u6S

This is plenty to get me laughing out loud, and I hope you did, too. It's always fun when Louisville is the brunt of a good joke, and this one was set up way too well for Kentucky fans not to jump all over it. The fact that they need excuses for low attendance, and those excuses are little league and minor league sports, is embarrassing and hilarious.
If you want to see this low-attendance game, you can find it on ESPN2 at 3:30 pm (EST). The Louisville Cardinals come in ranked 19th in the nation and are 10.5 favorites. They are currently 2-0 on the season, with wins coming against Austin Peay 62-0 and Jacksonville State 49-14. This will be their first real test, which Kentucky fans will be keeping an eye on as we would love to see the Cardinals come out of this game at 2-1 and drop out of the rankings. Let the rivalry commence.
