Kentucky was never going to host in Applebee's Park. UKAA was for certain they wer getting the regional...in fact, they were spending on materials to get the seating and the park ready for seating. I knew something was up , my neighbor is part of UKAA and would had worked to get the stadium set up and the playing field ready...we were out on the deck drinking beer when he told me he was expecting a phone call any minute to get to Cliff Hagen and start setting up...he never got the phone call.
I am going to be honest, if we do not have to have Louisville in our regional (which was projected to happen if he hosted) and we wind up Gary, then I am not mad....we have a better chance of getting out of that regional and making a run to Supers.

Then I'm to assume that Kentucky was given the idea that they host in Lexington by someone with the NCAA if they were already moving to set things up for it. That's not sending a very clear message that the stadium is an issue (precedent says smaller places have hosted too so it's a BS reason).
My fear is we get sent somewhere like Arizona. I have the sneaky suspicion we don't end up in Gary. But you're right about Louisville but I still would've rather been hosting because Kentucky earned it.
