🇺🇸🏈 HOLIDAY WEEKEND + COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK!

Now this is a weekend we can get behind.

💙 Saturday, the Cats are back!
Kentucky takes on Youngstown State at 12 noon Central, and we’ll be open at 11 AM — which gives you just enough time to claim a seat, order a pizza and get properly prepared for kickoff.

And if the game doesn’t go exactly as planned… well, the pizza will still be good. 😄
