Kentucky and Michigan will play in London (not the one in Laurel County) in December 2020.

 

Cool trip for team and fans!

That's pretty nice.

Game will be followed the next two seasons with games at Rupp & Michigan.

Already sent the info to my buddy. Lady friend and I met with him and the wife on Tuesday to finalize our Vegas trip in two weeks. They mentioned going to the UK next year if it happened. Good chance we will make the trip.

at Michigan - December 4th, 2021

at Lexington - December 3rd, 2022

Both of those dates are Saturdays. I'm wondering if the London game will be the 5th of December which is also the first Saturday of December. Girlfriend is supposed to put in vacation requests for all of next year this by January. Seems silly for them to announce dates 3 years away but not the one within the year.

Sometimes I forget how spoiled I am with the flexibility I have with my PTO at my job. Being required to put in for vacation for 11-12 months out would drive me nuts.

Agreed.

 

It also seems like it would encourage people to call off sick more often ?

Agreed, my current gig allows me to pretty much just put on a calendar when I'm taking off, no big deal. She works as a nurse in post partum. With that said she usually only works 3-4 days a week and trades/covers other nurses shifts often so I doubt it will be a major issue. It would just be nice to know now.

Looks like my rationale was correct, UK announced the game against Michigan will be on December 5th next year.

UK (and I presume UM) getting paid $500K to play the game.

Crazy, UK isn't accustomed to getting paid big to play games, it's usually the other way around.

I'd imagine a nice chuck of that will be going to the expenses of the trip for the team.

You don't think they have a host hotel? I know during their trip to Vegas, all of the games at T-Mobile arena are sponsored by MGM, which in turn is likely where the team is staying I'm sure. I'd be curious to know how much the school does pay for these trips.
