Tying run on 2nd...bottom of the last inning in State Tournament...kid gets called out on appeal play after tagging to 3B on a fly ball to RF. No question in my mind the umpire that awarded the appeal was from Bowling Green.
Rabbit Hash is pretty amazing. They have a dog as a mayor. I mean how cool is that?
Z-dub is filthy. I'll be depressed if he doesn't end up @UK. ☻
Those havalenas are nothing to mess with. My dads neighborhood out off Oracle Rd had everyone's yard fenced off because of the roaming packs of those things. Saw them almost daily.
The west side of Cincinnati used to have a bunch of wrought iron fenced yards because pigs were driven from Indiana to the Porkopolis. The fat from those pigs is the reason Proctor and Gamble set up shop to make soap. And that pretty much lays the foundation for everything you need to know about why Cincinnati is exactly what Cincinnati is - a town borne of pig fat. TMYKThose havalenas are nothing to mess with.

My dad gave that Tucson house to his ex wife about 8 years ago. I stayed there for a little while one summer. She still has it and yes Oro Valley. Im sure I would definitely build a fort with you if I was still out there or go to the Frog and Firkin or something.
It's always in the Top Ten for Fortune 500 per capita, but it peaked in the 1850's as the sixth largest city and essentially lost to Chicago and Saint Louis from there on out (whom later lost to Chicago and its railroads).I swear on my left nipple that my daughter JUST asked me what Cincy is "Known for" just a day ago
I've not been there since I was a kid -- and I only went to Kings Island then
So we looked it up ....
Didn't realize that there were several international companies that had invested in and built factories (?) offices (?) there.....also apparently there's a history with chemical development of some kind
Proctor and Gamble still there too?
We were watching "Man in the High Castle" and we paused the clip to look at the maps ---- Cincy was featured on one of the maps and we didn't know why.......
Pig Fat!!!
Who KNEW????

and what the HELL is a bearcat anyway?
Part mongoose and part proof that UC has been ate-up with UK for a long time.
From UC.edu: A new era was born when Kentucky came to town. The Wildcats were a formidable team and UC was struggling. During the second half of the game, cheerleader Norman "Pat" Lyon, building on the efforts of fullback Leonard K. "Teddy" Baehr, created a new chant: "They may be Wildcats, but we have a Baehr-cat on our side."
Typical.
Also, re: Rabbit Hash, every time it ends up in the news, I'm amused at the fact that it's portrayed as some middle-of-nowhere holler where people still have to get their groceries from this one 200-year-old, 100-square-foot general store. I mean, it is kind of out there as far as places in the Greater Cincinnati area go, but there's also like 5 Krogers within 15 miles of there...
It's one thing when the national news does it, which is predictable, but there was a story on the local news a few weeks ago (done by a Louisville station, oddly enough) where they did the same thing.
Can Rogue & Wyvern exchange emails?
GYERO would be grateful.
-When does GoT end? Nothing worse than completely normal people turning into fantasy land dorks for the next few months..
The mass popularity of Game of Thrones has always been interesting to me because - speaking as a nerd - fantasy is about the nerdiest shit imaginable. But I think the books and series are proof that if something is done well enough, it can appeal to a wide audience no matter its genre.
