Fowler Impressed With Lexington


While last Saturday's Kentucky-Florida football game turned out to be a disappointment for Big Blue Nation, the turnout for the pregame festivities for ESPN's College GameDay more than impressed host Chris Fowler.
"They really rolled it out for GameDay last weekend in Lexington," Fowler wrote in his blog for ESPN.com this week. "We have never experienced such overwhelming hospitality from a school and a city in the 14 years of road shows. We were showered with well-wishers and gifts. When you walk into your hotel suite and find six bottles of nice bourbon (three large and three small), you know they want you to enjoy your stay."
The rest of Fowler's hospitality top five: Clemson, S.C.; Eugene, Ore.; Blacksburg, Va.; and Tempe, Ariz. Not bad company for a basketball school.
