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.

I think a huge problem would be free agency as well. I couldn't see too many stars wanting to spend their playing days in those areas. I personally love all three areas, but I don't know how much they offer for a 24-27 year old millionaire athlete. Lord knows, it would be terrible to have an NBA team, and have the organizations ran as bad as the Bengals and Reds.

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

What if they have a team that plays 82 regular season games and played 60 games in Louisville and 22 games in Lexington and they were.... Da Kentucky Colonels !

 

Might even be able to have a few games in Cincy or Northern Kentucky area.

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.

Had one done a few years ago. Other than the prestest purge, it's a fine procedure. I don't remember a thing about it at all. In fact, when I first recall waking up on the recovery area the nurse said I'd be leaving in about five minutes. When I said, "So soon, I just woke up". She replied, "You've been awake for 20 minutes." :scared:

 

I had a few polyps removed but they weren't cancerous.

 

My wife said the Doctor came in with an Asian accent and told her, "Your husband has beautiful colon."

 

She said, "Doc, that's two words I never thought I'd hear together in my life. Beautiful and colon." :lol:

 

I must say it was one of those moments of praise I'm not sure how to take. :eek:

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.

Since I believe Louisville to be the most viable option, let me ask the following question. How many current NBA teams also share their arena with an NCAA basketball team? My hunch is that the number will be quite low.

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 hear Paula Buser is interested.

Is she taking choir or something, because I know she hasn't in the past. Are you sure that's her reasoning for not playing, because to stick it out until your senior year and quit seems to me like she is quitting for some of the same reasons that the other girls have been quitting for. Not saying you're wrong, just making an observation.

I agree!:thumb:

Point guard will have to be Moran imo, unless something else happens before the season starts.:idunno:

Don't you mean Keller Menke?

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

My understanding is no.

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.

How did the administration not support them? Also I don't think you can lay blame on Asst. coaches as they do what is directed by the head coach. No matter what one thinks of the former coach they were an extremely talented group and fun to watch play from the stands' date=' but not the opposing bench![/quote']

 

The administration didn't support them as far as treating the girls program as equals. They attended the boys banquet, not the girls, they had boys banquet at the cafeteria in the school and did it up right, the girls had theirs on the bleachers at the girls gym and it lasted maybe 1/2 hour at best, the AD complained about having to buy a set home uniforms after the KHSAA decided that alternative third colors were not allowed but the boys got new uniforms every year. This is just a few of the many discrepancies. Also the new hadn't worn off the 2 championship trophies and they had retired Chris Lofton's and Darius Miller's jerseys, but they haven't done anything for DeSarae Chambers and Lacey Cline, and I believe Chambers scored more points in her career than Lofton. As far as Asst. Coaches go, they have one that all he can do is drive the bus, good guy and that, but when it comes to basketball, any one of the parents can be equally good, one has a daughter who plays and one has a niece and I don't think relatives should coach, especially with the problems they have had in the past and evidently the problems continue with the current players quiting.

They played this weekend in Louisville,They are now 8-2,I'm not sure on teams but I do know there losses was by 5 and 7 points and all 8 wins have been by 20+ points.Only School for sure I know they beat was East Carter.

Thanks for the info.:thumb:

Those young ladies: Chambers, Cline, Litzinger were special young ladies and deserved everything they got as individuals and as a team. This is when the act of bringing up the younger players really began @ Mason County. Many people have speculated what those reasons were for, but I really have no clear reason as to why other then how awfully good they were.

 

I am not saying what is going on at Mason County is right or wrong, but you cannot say that what those young ladies mentioned did was not an extraordinary thing and a rare thing. They accomplished a great deal as a class and should be applauded for those efforts.

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:

These young Lady Royals that have taken a beating on here are now 8-1 on the summer after this weekend by the way.Keep up the hard work Lady's!:thumb:

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

I thought the Litzinger's lived and still do in Bracken County the whole time Jarrod and Lacey were going to Mason County,could be wrong though. Still think at least part of the problem from parents of players is their kids getting played over by transfers and 7th graders, no matter how good they may be. What's the use putting in the practice time if you know this? Under Buser's watch, Mason County's bench was talented enough to have started and starred at any school in the region, but they hardly saw any playing time, this has set the program back as well

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