But I see the point in having pride for one's home state.  |
Because I was a carpetbagger living in Lexington I can't speak for Louisville residents and their potential love for Indy. It very well could exist, but the Cardinals were a good football team several years ago and that might have taken some attention away from the Colts. So Louisville residents could be fans, I don't know. Also, there are fans living in Lexington that are Bengal fans but they are so in love with UK nothing compares. In terms of Northern Kentucky, they might love Cincy, but I would think their first love is college (maybe). As for Nashville, the city is over 3 hours away so their might be some disconnect there. I graduated in 2000, only two yeas into their existence in Tennessee. Perhaps a fan base has grown in the region of Kentucky closest to Tennessee. I don't know
Now that we are entering into conference games in the SEC, the excitement for the season is just now building. Good luck to all the SEC teams, except UT of course.
