That’s really unfortunate. Kentucky has two front doors, Louisville and Lexington (Northern Kentucky is kind of a side door as a Cincy suburb). Realistically, that’s the only interaction most people will have with Kentucky.
Yeah but they overpaid big time apparently so it is what it is.
Kentucky wasn't republican in 1861 through the CW either. They were conditional unionists. I.E. slavery's best chance of staying alive is in the Union. Compared to the North's unconditonal unionists who were union no matter what. Lincoln got 1000 votes in the 1861 election.
I have no care for Louisville. Don't care if they get an NBA team or not either. Down here in Southern KY we are connected to Nashville and TN.

I’m not really sure what your point is. The closest city to Nashville in Kentucky is still 50 minutes away according to Google maps. We can’t exactly claim Nashville as part of Kentucky.
I'm saying our economic and cultural driver here is really Nashville, not Louisville. Never said it was part of KY, lol.
What city do you live in if you don’t mind me asking? I would be surprised if more than 30% of ANY city in Kentucky commuted into Nashville on a daily basis, so I’d think “economic and cultural driver” of any area of Kentucky is a stretch. More likely, people like to attach themselves to Nashville because they think it’s cool, which is completely fine. But I would be surprised if any city in Kentucky had the relationship with Nashville that say Newport does with Cincinnati, which is actually functionally part of Cincinnati.
Yeah I think we are talking past each other and I don’t want to hijack the thread. I will end it here. I want all of Kentucky to succeed, our bigger cities, our suburbs, our small towns, our rural and mountain areas. I think anyone who truly loves Kentucky would too. It is convenient to be an hour and a half away from an awesome city like Nashville but that’s no substitute for a thriving Kentucky.
Our top recruit last year was Justin Edwards, would you be satisfied paying him 1.5 million last year for his efforts?

Why would Kentucky ever move the Kentucky derby to Tennessee? That makes zero sense. On top of it having a name that would make it weird to host in any other state you’re also sending the Derby’s tax revenue to another state as well.
Big Jayden Quaintance was a good-not-great rebounder (in HIGH SCHOOL, where Marcus Lee averaged like 20 boards a game) with zero outside shot. He was great posting up at the rim in HIGH SCHOOL, but will probably be quite susceptible to double teaming in Div 1 college because he averages over twice as many turnovers as assists. Perfectly fine guy to have had somewhere on our roster if he'd wanted to come for a reasonable price. But in Pope's system he doesn't fit anywhere near as well as any single one of the post players we actually signed. And if you think he was "our top recruit" you are both blinded by (NBA )"potential"-based star rankings AND not paying attention.
I read that like seriously? Let’s just move it to New York or Florida then. At least they have big tracks. The Nashville Kentucky Derby!!
Do a little research, but I'm pretty sure that before Nashville became Music City, the the #1 choice to be the home of Country Music was Louisville.
What does any of that have to do with the derby? And why would I do your research for you? Are you gonna pay me?
Well I don’t like country music so I don’t see why I would ever research it. That being said, if you have done whatever research needs to be done the obligation to present the research that supports your weird takes is yours. No one is going to research defenses for your argument unless they are trying to discount your weird takes.
I live in Norton Commons. I wouldn’t trade it for anywhere unless maybe if I won the lottery and could retire in Key West or something like that.
