Not the first boo boo by our athletic department about football, alas.

You have my vote for the new AD, you should get a lot of support from football fans, but good luck with the other sports.

Keeneland may play into also.
So every football fan is going to Keenland that day? ...why not plan it around their schedule...with the new staff changes and with the new facility being done this should be almost like a do over from the first year. Have tours set up where fans can walk through the new facility and make it a total football family day...look how successful the first spring game was...they should make a concerted effort to make this the biggest one yet, look at what Kirby Smart is trying to do at Georgia, he is asking the fans to have 93,000 for their spring game this year... wake up people this is the greatest opportunity that this program has ever had to go big...hope we don't blow it. Just my two cents from a LONG suffering football fan

My opinion... If true that....
Keeneland/SEC Net> Team/fan
That would be very bad/sad.
When you write big checks you get to call the shots.

Yeah, I agree...don't like a noon start time but if it means that the game is available to be seen by several million vs the 40-50,000 that would only see it otherwise...then I'm not so sure you can say that it is bad for either the fan or the team.

Not me...will be lots of recruits there and I would much rather see 50k in the stands and I don't care who else sees it

I like it better when they don't televise it. Force fans to get off their couch and show up if they want to see it. Show it a day or two delayed to encourage fans to come

Still have not seen anyone post a time yet for UK...remember this, NO ONE in the SEC except UK fans thinks UK cares about FB so they could care less whether we are televised or not...

2 or 3 would have been better but after not having a spring game at all last year, I'll take it. But another great opportunity for the whiners to take shots at the admin.

Without smacking back I'll just say you are right that 3 o'clock would be a much better time and for what it's worth I also hate noon games:football::football::boxing::sunglasses:

Noon kickoff for the spring game is okay (I like the starting window to be between 12 & 3 for the spring game)
Noon kickoff for a game in the late stages of November.....Yes please!!!!!
Any other time give me a kickoff at 4:00 or later.

I feel your frustration, but come on man, you know the power and influence thoroughbred racing has in Lexington, Ky. I would guess when they want something they usually get it. Anyway, sounds like this may be more about TV. Now there's something with even more power and influence.

I received this is an email from UK:

"Season ticket holders may purchase tickets in advance of the general public, by using the below offer codes, online through Ticketmaster, by calling (800) 745-3000 or in person at Ticketmaster outlets."

Yet I see no offer codes. Anyone know what they're talking about? Thanks.
