Gaiden, What say ye about the greatest city in the Commonwealth: Louisville! Louisville will occupy tomorrow's sacred space. The offices in KY were spread out pretty well and Middlesboro is such an important stopping point that I was going to give them each their own moment to shine. Although I might pretend Paducah doesn't exist.

I've got nothing on Lexington; I was kind of hoping to outsource the fake hate to a Louisville fan. If I have each fanbase's stereotypes of the other correct, I think the Louisville fan would tell you that Kentucky fans are holier-than-thou snobs as well as hypocrites of the highest order for overlooking UK's rampant cheating. Kentucky fans would respond that Louisville is basically a glorified urban night school lacking the genteel charms and superior intellect of Kentucky's flagship university, and that by the way Louisville is not unfamiliar with cheating, either. And back and forth, ad nauseam, 365 days a year.
Basically, moving to Lexington would be like moving into the middle of the Hatfields and the McCoys. Who by the way were from eastern Kentucky.

I think you are very very wrong on all of your assumptions for both Kentucky fans and U of L fans as well as the schools and the people. I am offended and I dont live in either city. You are also very very wrong and offensive with your sterotyping of Eastern Kentucky people.

Speaking of Louisville, is Rick Pitino going to lose his job in the wake of the stripper/prostitute/party scandal? It is a big one.

I'm just flummoxed in trying to pronounced Coach Pitino's university: is it LOO-ee-vill or loo-uh-VULL? Bet you thought I was going to bring up the newest scandal and the madam who sold her own daughters' personal services at parties for student athletes, didn't you? Nope, not going there. At least not until I know how to pronounce it, anyway.

LOL! And yes, the comment above about the Hatfields and McCoys... I thought all that was a joke until I did my genealogy and saw Hatfield families and McCoy families living next to my mom's family in the hills of southeast KY near Middlesboro. There is a book out there called Stinking Creek, by John Fetterman. I bought a copy off Amazon. It details the life of the coal mining families and those who live in the hills there, and one of the families detailed in the book is my line. Some stereotypes are true, and it isn't anything derogatory, just that is how they live there. At least they did when my family lived there. Dirt poor but hard working folks. Oh, and the moonshine burns on the way down.

Louisville, KY
I'm going to admit something on the front end. Louisville is not in my 5 favorite places I have ever been. Its probably a swell place to live but its just "mehh" as a destination.
Louisville (generally pronounced Listeni/ˈluːəvəl/ or Listeni/ˈlʌvəl/ by natives, and Listeni/ˈluːiːvɪl/ by others) is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 30th-most populous city in the United States.[e][4] It is one of two cities in Kentucky designated as first-class, with the other being the state's second-largest city of Lexington.[f] Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County.
Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark and is named after King Louis XVI of France, making Louisville one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachian Mountains. Sited beside the Falls of the Ohio, the only major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, the settlement first grew as a portage site. It was the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system across 13 states. Today, the city is known as the home of the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, the University of Louisville and its Louisville Cardinals athletic teams, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and three of Kentucky's six Fortune 500 companies.[12] Its main airport is also the site of UPS's worldwide air hub.
Since 2003, Louisville's borders have been coterminous with those of Jefferson County because of a city-county merger.[13] The official name of this consolidated city-county government is the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government,[14] abbreviated to Louisville Metro.[15] Despite the merger and renaming, the term "Jefferson County" continues to be used in some contexts in reference to Louisville Metro, particularly including the incorporated cities outside the "balance" which make up Louisville proper. The city's total consolidated population as of the 2014 census estimate was 760,026.[3] However, the balance total of 612,780[4] excludes other incorporated places and semiautonomous towns within the county and is the population listed in most sources and national rankings.
The Louisville-Jefferson County, KY-IN Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), sometimes also referred to as Kentuckiana,[16][17] includes Louisville-Jefferson County and 12 surrounding counties, seven in Kentucky and five in Southern Indiana. As of 2014, the MSA had a population of 1,269,702,[7] ranking 44th nationally.
Muhammed Ali is from Louisville.
Mickey Baker is from Louisville.
Jennifer Lawrence is also from Louisville. While best known as an actress she did sing a haunting tune in Mockingjay (pt 1).

I attended the University of Louisville School of Law (Brandeis School of Law)where the right honorable Justice Louis D. Brandeis and his wife are buried under the portico. Louisville's consolation prize for losing out to Lexington for the final resting place of Man o' War.

Watch "Justified" and Timothy Olyphant for some of the best drama/comic tv that just happens to be about eastern KY.
Caution: May be addictive, making one prone to binge watching.
