I keep hearing people being negative about Pope bringing Zoom (and recruits in general) to keeneland.
This thought is absolutely outrageous. Keeneland is something Lexington has that makes us stand out amongst other university suitors. It is a Lexington staple. It is a place that shows what Lexington is all about - in a nutshell. It also shows how beautiful Lexington can be with the right weather.
After the Zoom posts, I have seen SO many haters talking about how "I have never been interested in Keeneland", "Keeneland seems boring*, "these kids are probably bored by Keeneland."
If you think that, then you have probably never been as a college student, or at any age for that matter, especially if you have money for prime seating
It is at the heart of what it means to grow up in Lexington - the horse capital of the world. It has historical customs - guys and girls get dressed up, head to toe, with the "classiest* outfits they have.
People arrive at 7-8am in the morning to save spots to tailgate (maybe even more hardcore that college football). People have kegs in the back of their truck.
Women are wearing their, sometimes pretty revealing, sundresses. Men are in suits and ties. Everyone is hammered by noon.
The place is completely packed to the point it's hard to walk. Hence why it is so cool to have box seats, or the space someone like Zoom would have had.
It is the epitome of Lexington: Horses, blue grass, tailgating, good weather, bourbon, heavy drinking, beautiful women, "classy men" (IDK about that, but at least they looks their best in suit and tie), old money, green spaces, historical customs, loyal fanbase, people showing out for Kentucky, etc. I could probably go on. (I might edit, but that's enough for now.)
Keeneland is honestly crazy. The people talking about it negatively are probably the Eastern Kentucky coal minors who have never seen a reason to save the money to go, people who never actually graduated from UK nor lived in Lexington, older homebodies with kids, introverts who do not like to go out to crowded places, people without a friend group to go with, etc. Those are the people that don't like Keeneland. Hell, even my parents took me and my brother there as kids.
Keeneland is a Lexington staple. Keeneland is something that makes Lexington, and UK, different than any other school. It is probably the best place to show what Lexington is about during the BB and FB off-season. Where else would you go?
These kids have, probably, never seen anything like these crazy white people going crazy like this in their entire lives. I truly believe the people trashing Keeneland have never been, are introverts, or don't have a group to go with. That place is insane. And again - the women are beautiful. (I know I keep mentioning that, but I truly believe that is something a young, soon to be MILLIONAIRE, takes into account.)
Some of these people will just hate on Pope for anything....
