I either read in Forbes or Sports Illustrated that Louisville is the largest city in the country (population wise & drawing wise) that does not have a professional sports team in at least one of the 4 major sports leagues. I would say this and a new arena would go along way in getting an existing team to relocate in the future.

Louisville or Cincinnati has just has as much to offer (just in different ways) as Memphis or Oklahoma City.

41 home dates split between 2 or 3 "home" sites, may I remind you of the old Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Didn't work then, probably won't work now. Louisville and Lexington could do it as far as seating, but Cincy would have to have a new arena and like I said in my previous post, it ain't gonna happen financially in that city.

I am going for my first one in the next 2 weeks, by the way, another phrase I thought I would never hear, the nurse was checking my chart yesterday and said the doctor said "I have a generous prostate". Now theres something you don't hear everyday.

For Cincinnati to get an NBA franchise, whether it be an expansion team or a team wanting to move, there would have to be a major shift in thinking by the city council and county commissioners on getting the monies needed for a new arena first. The Colliseum just doesn't have enough seats, and the needed luxury boxes to generate the revenue needed to make a successfull go of it. This is a city and county who can't get on the same page to fund a badly needed new jail, laying off city and county employees, wants to spend $250 mil. on a street car system into one of the worst neighborhoods in the country and is still smarting from giving Mike Brown a sweetheart deal on a new football stadium a decade ago, it just ain't gonna happen. I would like to see a NBA team in Cincy, but the only way it will get done is if a private owner comes in, buys land and builds it himself (at least 20,000 seats). Louisville has a much better shot at it.

The Milwaukee Bucks & Marquette, the Knicks & St. John's (limited games), Washington Wizards-Georgetown Hoyas, Miami Heat-Miami Hurricanes (limited games). These are the ones I know of right off hand, I don't know of Oklahoma City sharing with any college or university and the same goes for New Orleans.

Dave Dravecky's arm breaking in his first start after cancer surgery and rehab. Saw it on ESPN Classic last week and it was awful.

I know IMG proposed a new basketball facility (across from Rupp), more renovations to Commonwealth Stadium and a new and improved baseball facility using private monies. There was a feasability study going on and was to be finished last summer sometime. Does anyone know what became of that proposal?

My 1993 Volvo didn't qualify, go figure.:idunno:

I remember eating at Billy's when it was located in that strip shopping center located behind the bus terminal on the north side.

Wife and I prefer Corky's, but we tried Sonny's back in March and it was pretty good too. Sonny's has excellent sweet tea by the way.

I agree!:thumb:

Don't you mean Keller Menke?

Take your money and invest in gold and silver. Watch the Bengals on TV if you want.

They sure could've used her experience and size as a senior this year.

God, I hate this show! It's not reality, it's to see how much of a free ride from the producers they get. I wish they would cancel the show, and let them get along on their own and pay for stuff out of their own pockets.

Is Hillary Doyle playing? I haven't seen her name mentioned and was just won dering.

Thanks for the info.:thumb:

I'm not disagreeing with you, but other than individual accomplishments, what did they accomplish? 6 distict titles in a district that was weak in comparison and though they had two regional runner-ups, if it hadn't been for the rest of the team and Coach Starns, they wouldn't have gotten that far. Don't get me wrong, they are all good ball players who deserved the accolades bestowed upon them, but because of the coach they had to play under and lack of support from the administration, they just didn't accomplish all that much in my book.

Thanks!:thumb:

Who have they played and where? Some scores would be greatly appreciated too.:thumb:

No, they live on Clarks Run 2 or 3 miles past the new intermediate school. Lived their I Know for at least 8 years.
