Kentucky is playing its first men's basketball game of the season in Rupp Arena against Wright State. They have redesigned the floor to contain an outline of the map of Kentucky in darker brown against the light brown of the rest of the court. When you get down to the end of the map that shows the Jackson Purchase, you can see a small gap down in Fulton County that separates that one portion of the county from the rest of the Commonwealth. I don't know who took the time and effort to get that right, but I really appreciate it.

Month of MLB: Final Episode
As previously indicated, I did not blog Game Five of the World Series, and in fact I didn't even watch it. But because it turned out to be such a significant game, I have decided to post comments on this thread as if I had watched it live.
