When you cross the border into Kentucky these days, there’ s a big sign announcing that our state is home to the 2008 Ryder Cup. Now that the tournament is only a couple of weeks away, the hype is really building. We have a constant stream of media coverage, and stores have big displays of [...]

I must say that Louisville looked pretty darned good in Extreme Makeover last night. I suspect the show got the same kind of local ratings as a U of L Final Four appearance. Maybe better, since even the UK fans were probably watching.
Having seen a lot of local (and even national) coverage of the [...]
