NCAA Bracket Invitations=Panic Attack

egrant — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:41:52 +0000

I don't how it happened, but "March Madness" snuck up on me this year. This week, I received at least three email invitations and one Facebook message to get in on an NCAA pool. The good thing about joining an online pool is, you usually don't have to make a monetary investment and you can win some sweet prizes, including money. But isn't spending money to make money the honorable thing to do? I fall for it everytime.

Dave Spencer Has a Ghostly Encounter on a Bowling Green Bridge [VIDEO]

My sister gave me a cool book for Christmas called "Weird Kentucky." It's full of odd facts, strange happenings, bizarre history, and generally kooky information about the Bluegrass State. It also lays out the locations where you can go to encounter ghosts.

Murray State Is Undefeated No More

It's a good thing I have a smart phone or I wouldn't have seen the breaking news on Twitter. #9 Murray State was the last undefeated team in the country. Thursday night, Tennessee State beat the Racers at home 72-68, proving the Ohio Valley Conference is no joke.

'Bluegrass & Backroads' Premieres Sunday Morning on KET [VIDEO]

Dave Spencer — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:44:38 +0000

I want Bob Schrader's job! And if I can't have that one, I'll take Matt Hilton's. Actually, it wouldn't be a good idea for either of those events to come to pass. Bob and Matt are the creators of "Bluegrass & Backroads," a KET program that explores the qualities, lives, and stories that are unique to Kentucky. As you know, I love to travel. And these guys get paid to do it! Without them, we wouldn't have one of the coolest shows on television.

egrant — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 20:51:47 +0000

Two of the fiercest college football rivalries are on tap this afternoon and tonight. Tennessee vs. Florida (in progress) and Kentucky vs. Louisville. And who am I rooting for in each game? Well I think you know were my alliances lie in the UK/Louisville contest. In the other game, I’m rooting for the GATORS! Here’s why. Why the [...]

Planned Bill Monroe Film Isn't the First Time Kentucky Has Gone Hollywood

Dave Spencer — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 20:00:02 +0000

Or maybe I should say it isn't the first time Hollywood has gone Kentucky. It's one or the other. Maybe it's both. But as we await the arrival of the Bill Monroe movie, I thought it would be fun to take a look at other films that have been shot or partially shot in the Commonwealth.

Just What We Needed, Another Way for Gas Prices to Rise

Dave Spencer — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 16:19:02 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I’d grown rather content watching the gas prices fall below the $3.40 mark. Of course, after writing that sentence, I think, “Wow, how we lower our sights.” But yeah, it’s nice seeing more fuel go into my tank for less money. But, boy, was I ever silly to get [...]
