Where does Kentucky rank for you as a football road trip?

[fossilfiction]

I have never been but honestly, how bad can it be. Tennessee almost always walks out with the W.

Been there, done that. Being in Georgia means I see no reason to ever make that trip again.

Let's go Krogering,this was a comercial in my boyhood ! I never knew KY. would be involved 65 yrs. later!

you have to click on the picture to get it !

Kentucky knows this is a loss. Fans will be rowdy in the first quarter, but when Milton scores on the first possession, I predict they won't be a factor after that

Don't underestimate Kentucky, especially at home. If he is on, Davis is darn near impossible to stop.

I actually like Lexington. It is a beautiful city. My daughter rides Hunter so we are up at Kentucky Horse Park at least 2 or 3 times a year. Honestly, their fans are pretty nice too. Well, their football fans are at least. I have been called some pretty nasty names in Rupp.

Went to school at UK. Nothing better than an afternoon at Keeneland followed by watching football at Two Keys Tavern afterwards. Tailgating much better before the Keeneland meet.

idk about y'all but I go to Kroger about once a week...

Just once? They know me by name.

I go to Lexington about once a month for work. I find it to be pretty similar to Knoxville, though perhaps a bit nicer. Never been to a game there, though. I have been caught off guard a few times by how much colder it can be there. Make sure to check the forecast if you go

If you have time to drive 30 minutes to the west, stop by the Buffalo Trace distillery. It’s awesome. And bring me back a bottle from the gift shop.

Never attended a football game, but played rugby in Lexington several times in the past. Always had a blast downtown shooting the sh*t with the very cute UK coeds. Always looked forward to each trip up there.

I'll be there. Tickets have been coming down in price and it's an easier drive coming from Ohio. The only time I went to a game there was Dooley's last year, so I hope this is better.

Took a couple of trips up to Lexington in the 70s. Both times were cold as all get out. One game the bleachers where we were covered with ice. Add to that the losses, and I lost my appetite for making that trip. Back then it was the next to the last weekend of the season so it was later and far colder than it is now.

70s was a cold decade.
I remember my Granddaddy's pond froze over every winter growing up. We "skated" on it with our tennis shoes.
It hasn't frozen since 1978.

Publix is better than Kroger.

It ranks high as a place to get a good buzz on,a happy place to hear grown rich asses whine and cry like their grandfathers did,and a chance to go to Keenland to watch and place some dollars on some beautiful ponies.Other than that,let big blue cry in the produce section of Krogers.

 

[VolAnonShaman]

Downtown Lexington has some cool pockets. But there are no redeeming qualities for the state of Kentucky. It's like Kentucky and Ohio are the butthole of America.

 

[SpookyAction]

It is a good place for fans to take their first games as a visitor.
Not nearly as hostile (with Vandy being even less hostile) as other SEC stadiums.

Remember when the grass would be brown as mud by the time UT would play up there?

Every time you get close to the KY border, you hear Deliverance music.

Go VOLS

Grew up in Jellico, which is literally on the border. It’s not the end of the world, but you can see it from there.
