Oh Florida would have arrested them, check to see how valuable they were to the Gators and if they were good players the Bull Gator DA would have said not enough evidence and thrashed the reports. Short of loaded guns nothing is reported at AU or LSU. In Athens the Campus Police and Clark County police throw high fives when they arrest a football player, its front page of the AJC, the Atlanta paper,. But never a mention of the kids who give their weekends to the Boys Club or Speical Olympics. UK kids nor UGA kids are no worse than any other team's kids, we just happen to be the only 2 schools in the SEC who don't cover up incidents. We punish for the first failed drug test, other schools don't after 10, AU even had a coach walk in on a group of players smoking and they missed zero snaps. Some of us are playing on the down side of a slanted field.

It is interesting how differently these things are handled in different communities. It's really a case of multiple standards, depending on how local prosecutors want to handle it. In the end, it is up to the leadership of each school to determine how they want their school to be perceived by the public. Football brings in a whole lot of money, but you really don't have to run a halfway house in your football program to be competitive. While it sickens me to watch how UL and FSU manage these things, there are plenty of examples of successful programs like Stanford, TCU, Wisconsin, Michigan State who win a ton of games with honorable student athletes who don't bring trouble to the community. Except for my time in military service, I have lived in Lexington all my life. Culturally, Lexington and Louisville are 2 different universes. For a lot of reasons, Lexington is not the kind of community where a school can recruit a bunch of criminals to play football. I think Stoops is handling it right.

Let's let the coaches and the legal system sort this out before rushing to judgment.

But how often do you and others take this stance when it's another team?

Everytime.

Yeah, that's not true at all. I've seen this board do this to Jameis Winston despite legal findings. I've also, seen this board to the dirty bird trash (they deserve the worst) but its just hypocritical and untrue to say that our fan base doesn't do that. They do.

Every team seems to do it though.

Of course you saw lots of talk here about JW, the guy was involved in several different things and two of them happened in public with eye witnesses and camera where it couldn't be argued what happened or whether or not he actually did them, he did. I never said anything about the alleged incident because it was just that, alleged, and he was cleared.

Plantation was in building next to Horseshoe on east side-closed before 68 opened. Jane Todd was about 200 yards west of 68-it had sign in bar that read No Guns or Knives on Dance Floor. It was a real roadhouse.

Best I recall was that heading west Jane Todd was on your right, then the Horse Shoe was on your left, and farther down on your right was Club 68.

I can't recall the Plantation's location.

Back in the 50's & 60's Lebanon was the place to be for anyone who was anybody. A lot of musicians made it a point to be there.

Heading west on Main St/Hwy 68 the Horseshoe was on left. Go 200 yds and 68 was on right and another 200 yds Jane Todd was on right. Everyone either forgets or doesn't know the Club Cherry may have had the best talent coming through Lebanon, Jackie Wilson, BB King, Otis Redding, Little Richard.

Oh yes the Club Cherry which was originally an African American only Club. They had in all of the top African American performers. It opened to all as segregation waned. Lebanon was the Newport of Central Kentucky.

That's right.

I vaguely remember some of those places.

I forgot all about Club Cherry. I remember my relatives talking about that place.
