Say something nice about Kentucky thread

bayoutider · Sep 30, 2008

They are doing the same for us on the Rivals board

Pretty classy bunch but what should we expect from people who hate Tennessee as much as we do and love basketball as much as we love football. They understand what it means to be a real fan.

I'll start by saying Kentucky makes better whiskey than Tennessee. Must be the water.

I love their basketball program. I root for them when they don't play us (that's the only SEC team I can say that about). I love trips to Lexington - and Rich Brooks could probably kick my you-know-what. He looks like a scrapper.

Churchhill Downs...If you have never been to a Derby, you must go. All sports fans need to witness this First Class Sports Event!

They got pretty blue grass. :biggrin:

SavannahDare · Sep 30, 2008

I've always found them to be respectful. And any state that has made an art out of horse-racing, mint juleps and big ol' hats has my attention!:biggrin:

They are nice for saying nice things 'bout us on their board.

They have one of the Best Ironman Triathlons in the world ( Bet ya didn't know that one did ya???)

Great Whiskey ( As previously mentioned.)

Their Fans are a good peeps.

Football Team is up and coming, and is already a threat to be taken quite seriously.

Ins't the Corvette made there?

When I think college basketball I think Kentucky.

Great folks with respectable fans that are enjoyable to talk sports with (most I've meet anyway)

Bourbon.

1. I like their intensity about basketball (similar to ours about football)
2. Because of their intensity about basketball, that lead to Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant coming home to us.

My dad was from Grayson, Kentucky. My Kentucky heritage from his side goes back to the pre-Revolutionary War era and includes men who fought beside Daniel Boone and a direct ancestor who fought with the Orphan Brigade at Kennesaw Mountain. My grandfather was a coal miner. You'll find me saying nothing ill about the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

As regards UK, well, their fans are the closest to Alabama fans that I have seen in college sports. Granted, they are much better known for the big ball without corners, but they still have a well-educated and devoted fanbase.

And they don't do orange.

I like their bourbon, bluegrass, horse racing, and they have a great Basketball program that has made the SEC proud over the years.

JohnnyCache · Sep 30, 2008

At least they're not Tennessee.

sanjosecrimson · Sep 30, 2008

Kentucky gave us Shaun Alexander!! :smile:

tidepreacher · Sep 30, 2008

1. They share our dislike for Tennessee
2. They are as passionate about basketball as we are about football.
3. Kentucky Derby is amazing
4. Little known down South, Louisville has the nation's largest annual fireworks show (Thunder over Louisville) as part of the KY Derby Festival each year. Definitely worth seeing
5. Corvettes in Bowling Green

Ok, ok, I used to live in Louisville when I was a kid. I have almost nothing but very fond memories of Kentucky. The people were great, the scenery, the history... I've never been back but I've always wanted to go and spend a week just hanging out. I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize it. Bama will always be the motherland and Georgia's been good to me over the years but there's just something about Kentucky that stays with a person, and not in an STD sort of way.

Ashley Judd went to school there.

Man! I left this thread to get a picture of her and as soon as I get back, you posted it. Well done. Oh well, i will post it anyway....

GulfCoastTider · Sep 30, 2008

Rich Brooks is a class act and has put together a very respectable program.

Their special teams play would make Frank Beamer proud, and their defense would make us proud.

It should NOT be a blow out.

Woodford Reserve, mmmmm, good.
