  1. If you are lucky the UK game will be at night and you can go to Keeneland in the afternoon. Until TV became ubiquitous, UK only played night games in October which is one of two months when Keeneland runs. Then again, you can go on Friday in any event. It does not run on Sunday. If you can get clubhouse passes, which is extremely difficult, it's worth whatever you pay.
  2. Signed up just to post in this thread. My older son and I are Georgia Tech grads (we "got out"). My younger son is Texas Ex (CS). I fell in love with UT while he was there. My two favorite teams are the Horns and the Jackets. Both great academic schools with great traditions. I've had two consecutive games of this SEC officiating bullshit with georgia. The officials pulled georgia back into the GT game in the second half. On a fourth down play in the end zone, they called a bullshit PI. The announcers said the ball "appeared to be tipped." Reviewed? Nope. If it was tipped, no PI. Then on a GT fumble, you see a georgia player come in with his head down, and the King's (QB) head snap sideways. The comment was that the georgia player's helmet hit the ball. That caused King's head to go sideways? Was it reviewed? Nope. Either one of those is called, and georgia loses. There is more--just like last night. I confess that I turned off the TV after the twin PI (as someone on this board called it) followed by the roughing the passer call to cover up the intentional grounding. I knew right then there was no way ABC/SEC were going to let UT win. Yes, I screamed at the TV before I turned it off. There was no way ABC/SEC were going to let an unranked team beat an SEC team that had qualified for the Championship game--and would have 3 losses. There was no way ABC/SEC were going to let a conference newcomer beat georgia--that would have suggested that the SEC was somehow weak. Then we have SMU and Clemson. Clemson had zero penalties. Same thing--would ABC/ACC allow a newcomer to further show ACC weakness? ABC/ESPN have huge investments in these conferences to protect. Just business I guess, but a sport without correctly enforced rules is not a sport. Hook 'em
