First off this thread said for Hazard, Somerset, Harlan Co., and Breathitt fans, so I'm along the lines of if you don't want to hear talk about those teams don't go trolling into the thread. A lot of folks genuinely want to discuss those teams others I don't know. I do know that I very rarely go into a Lexington, Northern/Western KY, Louisville thread unless I know something associated with a school and I sure don't go in there to be negative or stir crap up.

Dealing with football and life is a little different, I can't remember being disrespected going somewhere to a football game, but I have attended a lot of meetings in Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati and I HAVE been treated like a hillbilly which I'm fine with because usually its someone that I could care less what they think! To say it doesn't happen is false, but as we all know especially with football fans No One/Place/Program is perfect and we all have our idiots!

Fair enough, but to be clear, I didn't say it never happened or that no one from northern Kentucky looks down on eastern Kentucky. I did say that based on my experiences of living in northern Kentucky, a majority of northern Kentuckians do not look down on folks from eastern Kentucky or on eastern Kentucky football. I still believe that.

And for the record, in my many travels to eastern Kentucky to attend football games, I've always been treated well. Actually some of the most accomodating hosts have been the eastern Kentucky schools and their fans. A large majority of the Highlands folks feel the same way I do.

With that, I'll butt out of this thread. Best wishes to all this weekend and I hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving and gets to share the day with their loved ones.
