I dont like it when people say that to me. I dont disagree, but I just hate it when it gets said.
Since there is no good recruiting or carousel news, let’s dive into that a little further. Can you describe the specific feelings that arise to cause this hate?

The allure of Lexington also is the thoroughbred farms in the city..........I lived there for almost a year in 1970-71 working on the railroad....beautiful bluegrass every where and if they let it grow high when the wind blew it was mesmerizing to watch.........
Lexington greatly improved their traffic problems when they built New Circle Road , which is an interstate type road that encircles the city..........Haven't been back for at least 20 years so i have no idea about it now........But , it is a picturesque setting area with plenty to do.......
When I was there was the first year that Rupp recruited a black player , Tom Payne.....I went to 3-4 games up in the nosebleeds , but the vitriol I heard yelled at him was eye opening to me as a 19-20 year old ............It really really was...............
I don’t read that as paying the retention bonus. The head coach termination clause seems to limit that to comp and benefits.

But mostly the women.
Sounds like the longer we don’t announce, the more likely OA gets.

Well yes, there is that. But I’m guessing once it became public knowledge then I’m thinking there would be some kind of clause to boot him out. In my line of work, if you are going to work for a competitor you get two weeks pay but you’re shown the door immediately. Not sure if that applies here but there are always informal channels.

Understand your point. I live 30 to 2 hours away from DC Depends on traffic part of the city and time of day
Depending on where you live in the CU area you can be in Indy and almost St Louis.
Unless u live downtown in a major city you will have some travel
I'm guessing:
1)You're not married
2)You don't have kids
Because if you took that approach with your wife:
3)You'd be divorced
4)You're wealth would have to be divided by 2

Given that they are both from the Dominican Republic and that they both have played on various Dominican Republic National Teams during their careers, IF Orlando Antigua does end up back at Illinois on Brad's staff in the not too distant future, would that be significantly helpful in getting David Jones to finish his college career with the ILLINI?
If O comes back ...
I think David Jones, and Koby Brea are definitely on the table ...
Yup. Money can fix a lot of issues, but this is likely not one of them. Difficult to blame her for not wanting to come back based on knowledge of one of the more well known assistant "secrets"...
Would be a great combo w class we have.

Grew up in East Central Illinois, have lived in Lexington, now Winchester (20 min east) for the past 15 years; right at the end of Billy G and beginning of Cal.
Lexington is a big little city. You can do a lot of stuff around Lexington and drive 5 miles out of town and you’re in some of the most picturesque landscapes you’ve ever seen. Bourbon and craft beer in every county.
Nashville, Knoxville, Indy, Lville, Cincy all with a days drive; but the allure of April & October during Keeneland would make anyone want to live here. Fall is UK/SEC Football and since Stoops has revived that program it’s a great atmosphere.
@pruman91 the traffic has gotten worse. They have made adjustments, like widening New Circle, but the city does not really want to expand and they are busting at the seams. We moved to Winchester to get more house for the price. Love the drive everyday.
Orlando moved back to UK to see his daughter graduate, as someone mentioned, she has, so that allure has passed.
If you’ve gotten this far, thanks for reading, I am sitting in another feature of Lexington, one of their great hospitals. Right next to me is my newborn son, who hopefully in 18 years will be suiting up for the orange and blue and playing in Assembly Hall!
I’ve got some deets as they say on the UK coaching search as it happened and how they landed on Pope, that’ll be for tomorrow.

Congratulations, Ty, to you and your wife.

Sounds like? How many syllables?
Oh man! Can't we just find him a new wife. I know one he can have.
Happy spouse, happy house >>

Oh boy, seems I misread this the first time when I responded. I thought the question was asking what makes one city better than another (i.e not the same). Didn’t mean to make it sound like I was hating on Chambana so much. That said, Lexington is like 3x the size of Chambana so many of the things I mentioned are probably true, but it’s not like Lexington is a paragon of cosmopolitanality either.
