When UK was playing several years ago in the NCAA at St. Pete, there were many Kentucky fans there very early waiting for them to open the building. I overheard one person ask a guy sharing his shady spot if he was from Kentucky and his reply was "I'm from NORTHERN Kentucky" as if it were another state or something??!?? I just found that to be an interesting answer and, whether he meant it that way or not, I took it as an insult to other parts of the state.

One of my few personal experiences with NKY people was when Bell High played Covington Catholic in the playoffs back in the 80's. It was on a Saturday afternoon, of course, since CC has no lights. I found the students (all boys, of course) to be rude and arrogant and not friendly at all to the visitors. I wondered if the purpose of having no lights was so that the CC fans could congregate in the backyards of the houses that bordered the football field to watch the game without paying admission while enjoying BYOB.

Interesting post, Ludlow.

I wouldn't worry about Cov Cath too much--even the NKY people think the same thoughts that you do about them.

I always remember that they are an "all boys" school. Therefore--they can't help but let their true colors show at times (ha, ha--just messing around).

I am not surprised that people from up here came off in that manner. Some people may think you were taking things too literally--but I have heard that tone myself before--and it was embarrassing.
