First off, your tailgating is miserable. There is nothing but parking lots around the stadium.
Your fans have the comebacks of a 5 year old.
If they don't say something childish they talk about basketball.
The loudest your stadium was all game is when calipari was on the field.
Your bar scene is close to Starkville's and that is really bad.

All in all it was a great game and y'all gave us a scare.

I'm surprised they had a 2:30 game to compete with the horse races.

What bars did you frequent?

Unlike many campuses, they are spread out in pockets across wide area.

Both crowds suffered

F*ck CBS for voiding the old handshake agreement.

Yeah it's pretty bad. Went in 2010, tailgated in a parking garage, fans were ok. What I didn't get was the lack of fan noise in the stadium, even when you would think they would be loud.

Keeneland - one of the nicest thoroughbred tracks in the USA and world







Before the newer media deals Kentucky and Keeneland had a gentlemen's agreement.

Keeneland had races during the day
Kentucky had games at night

A perfect Daily Double if you ever experienced it live.

Yeah I experienced the same. Crappy tailgating. But Lexington was fun.

I strolled in here thinking this was going to be an obligatory, "we won and shite, but here's something to hold your head up about" feel good post.

Then I read

picking on the basketball school fans is like picking on a retard, it's classless and shows no grace.

WTF you guys are a basketball school.


But solid grind, we are suppose to be getting some scenery with the stadium upgrades. I had a good time, maybe it was because I was drunk?

Used to be Georgia was the most regular and had some of the best racing fans. Problem with the Daily Double is Keeneland only operates 16 days in the fall and 16 dates in the spring. To get in the rotation the visiting SEC school is limited to just 2 or 3 weekends in the fall and all will be October weekends. Since Bama has TSIO odds of Bama landing a Daily Double is rare and even lower as Bama being Bama means it will get a day time slot. If State had been bad they would have a better chance of being night game this year.

That is because they paved the old Orange Lot this summer. In the past it was all grass and the best tailgating was located there. Some really good pre game and post game atmosphere is not in the lots at all but in the surrounding neighborhoods if you know which streets have the established social scenes.

Lol @ MSU troll talking $%^#. How can UK fans respond to this when nobody goes to Starkville and visitor tickets are given back to their school?
