LEXINGTON, Ky. - A surge in donations on Friday helped Kentucky record its third consecutive victory in the annual Big Blue Crush; a contest between the fan bases of the University of Kentucky and the University of Tennessee.
According to a release from the Kentucky Blood Center, the final tally was Kentucky 3,160, Tennessee 3,107. Heading into Friday, the final day of the competition, Vol Nation had built a slim lead of 13 points but a strong response to urgent appeals helped Kentucky secure bragging rights once again.
