You guys are right. Not sure of the progress, but found an article in Lex Biz from Oct '07 with preliminary plans, basically it's a "race for arms" because of the new waterfront Louisville Arena. They claim they don't want to lose the Ky Sweet 16 HS basketball tournament to the new place 60 miles west... that's great and all but to say a once-a-year tournament would cover the $300mm minimum cost of a new arena is beyond silly- the Fayette Mall last weekend was quite busy but the majority of the people were country kids with gear representing their respective high schools wandering around between games- not exactly a "tax boon".
I'm not going to get into whether African-Americans hate Lexington or if it hates them, however.

Tubby was a solid recruiter and a horrible game coach. He won a national championship despite himself with Pitino's players and rode that b.itch for years and Kentucky fans had to endure his retarded son starting over better players.
He's only been gone 2 years. Billy Clyde might not be the answer but they had to roll the dice. 2 more years of Tubby sucking the life out of talented players would've sent big blue fans over the edge.
Now they'll probably fire Gillispie because that's UK. They're f.ucking insane. Rumor is they're going to offer Eddie Munster the job. I don't think he'll take it. And if he does the hypocrisy will be full of LOL. Sure he has a championship but he's also been in the NIT two years in a row.
I'd like to see them fail because their fans are the biggest bunch of crybabies on the planet. They're still butthurt over Laettner.

If UK had lost to Creighton you better believe he would have gotten canned the next day, because that's how delusional they are. Making it to the NIT Semis might buy him another year, as strange as that sounds. BTW Who is Eddie Munster?
I'm not really looking forward to dealing with their fans. Everything else in Lex is pretty damn good.
