In a spur of the moment decision, I drove to Kentucky last Saturday morning to watch the Wildcats square off with the Rebels.
The Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Mitch McConnell was the extent of my knowledge for the Bluegrass State. I had never been to Lexington, but based off of the few things I have heard, I had pretty low expectations.
When I arrived, my presumptions were confirmed. The campus was pretty nice, but it had more of an industrial feel to it - Lexington just didn’t really feel like a college town.
In regard to athletics, Kentucky is always going to spend money on basketball over football.
