Josh_Claywell 52 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 DBW, I used to live and work in Frankfort. None of the places you listed aren't really sit-down places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBW 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 Really only Gibbys and Sarafinis are. But I was talking about places to grab something and get back. Still theyare close. Goo, that's cold. Funny, but cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Notfromhere 6 Report post Posted August 5, 2011 There are not seven or eight places within two blocks of the Civic Center. There's maybe one restaurant downtown, and it's a very small place (IIRC). Also, there is no hotel within walking distance -- especially considering the arena is on the backside of the Horse Park. Not that it really matters anymore since the tourney has moved, but Josh... You are a reporter. You just posted completely inaccurate information and stated it as fact. Makes me wonder about the rest of your reporting. There are indeed at least a dozen places to eat in walking distance from the Farnham Dudgeon arena. DBW is correct. We live here. We know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Notfromhere 6 Report post Posted August 5, 2011 never heard of any of those places. They don't sound like very nice sit down family places to eat. Most prefere francise type resteraunts with a familiy oriented atmosphere. Oh well we don't have to worry about that any more (YAAAAAAAHHHHOOOOOOO) Every place DBW listed IS a nice, family place to eat. I could add another 4 places to that list, but it doesn't matter now. Just wanted to correct some misinformation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patriotsrule 1 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 Is being accurate synonymous with being a reporter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoachM 1 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 Just b/c there isn't a mcdonalds, TGI Fridays, or Applebees within walking distance of the dungeon doesn't mean there isn't a good place to eat. Half of the charm of downtown frankfort is the fact that those places aren't abundant. I have been to probably half of the restaurants listed above and they all seemed pretty family friendly and thankful to have the tournament there that weekend. BTW Buddys pizza is great! Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eaglewrestler16 4 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 For the school talk, for the Basketball tourney in Rupp if a team gets to the finals those guys are missing at least 3 days of school. Why is it such a big problem with wrestling?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh_Claywell 52 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Because, and this is pretty much just my 2 cents, basketball is one of the big-money sports in this state. I hate to say it like that, but it's true. Fringe sports like wrestling, track, cross country, etc. don't make near as much money for the KHSAA as basketball and football do.

jbigdaddy 8 Report post Posted November 2, 2011 I know the Wrestling Advisory Committee was / is scheduled to meet this fall to finalize plans for state tournament (weigh-ins, wrestling, etc.). Does anyone know if the committee has met yet? Any word on those specifics? I would like to include those details on my schedule. BTW, I've already checked the KHSAA site, so no point suggesting that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacketcoach 19 Report post Posted November 2, 2011 We have talked about it but haven't set weigh in stone yet to my knowledge. My only advice would be to stay in Lexington on Thursday night to make it easier on travel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
