[quote=DEVILOLOGIST]I knew that Mama Bear would be posting on here..... Glad to see you made it!!!!
I also agree that that day should be a blast. I can not wait.......
Where is a good place to eat dinner down there? or do you guys want to tail gate at the bowl.. I think that a tail gate would be fun to do... It would give everyone a chance to spend the day together and watch football.

Also please post directions to the stadium so we may get there.....
RT 23 south from Ashland to start.... Tahnks and yea I am getting butterflies about this BOWL.......

To get to Leslie County High school which is where the games will be played coming from Asland I would imagine you would get on the Mountain Parkway and make it to Hazard someway. Leslie's field is probably twenty miles or so from Hazard. You could also come down I-75 to London and get on the Hal Rogers Parkway. I'm not sure what is the best route you may want to mapquest it. The town is call Hyden. As far as eating, Hazard has an applebee's but after that it is just fast food. A good gathering of Harlan County Black Bear fans have tailgated before their first two game and after wards and it has been a blast we may just have to plan a big tailgating event. Coming from Hazard or London you will be on the Hal Rogers Parkway and you just take the Hyden exit and get on Tim Couch Pass (a road that takes you over the hill from the parkway to Hyden) at the end of Tim Couch pass you take a left toward Hyden on US 421 go through the town (one traffic light) stay straight and as soon as you leave town you will pass a rite aide pharmacy and an advanced auto parts on the right go around the curve and Leslie County High will be on the Left you can't miss it. I hope that helps.
