I got a kick out of the Louisville airport. Bourbon advertising plastered everywhere. Little kiosk set up with 20 bottles of liquor serving cocktails like 20 steps from our gate. Free bourbon samples as you exit to the parking lot.
Also shocked at how many hotels there are in downtown Lousville. It's like 80% of the high rises. The Omni is massive. Guess this is a pretty big tourism city year round between the golf/booze/horses. There was even a big hotel we could see across the river on the Indiana side.
SMU volleyball handed the #4 Cardinals a fat 5 set L just down the street last night - so the sports vibes are off to a good start this weekend. Let's hope it continues.
And - the Cal field hockey team is sharing our hotel. Just ran into 5 of them on the elevator - one of them was attractive. They were all white girls speaking Spanish so I'm assuming Cal is recruiting from somewhere internationally. The ACC is such a funny conference.
We are headed to The Brown Hotel for brunch then off to Lexington. 🤘
